I would like to bivy somewhere enroute to Helvellyn, any ideas about where to leave the car? Is pay and display available for overnight parking?

Cheers

Depends which way you want to go up but the Lay-by just beyond Swirls car park for tourist path or park at village hall in  Legburthwaite (honesty box) and go up via sticks pass. Ullswater side not so sure as i avoid it especially in silly season but probably loads of options.

Leave the car at the Travellers Rest, just outside Grasmere. Have a chat with the people behind the bar to check they’re cool with it. They may want a small fee. 

Walk up green tongue and bivvy at Grisedale Tarn, then up Dollywagon and Helvellyn in the morning.
