Hi folks,
Over the next weekend or two, of course weather permitting, I hoping to go to the Lake Distrci for Mountain Ringlet.
I tried last year, on a glorious sunny afternoon in early July, but with no joy, primarily from a lack of precise information.
Could anyone help me ut with a Lake District site. Some fairly precise details of where to go would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Mark

I believe that both temperature and sun are serious factors with MR. Last year I visited Ben Lawers, and it wasn't until 1030 (when the temperature had risen) than any were seen. And only then when the sun shone. As soon as a cloud came over, they disappeared in the grass.
But the forecast looks good over the next day or so. Unfortunately, I don't think I'm going to be able to make another trip up north for some time
Cheers,
