Camping in the Lake District. Any militaria in the area?

I won't be around for a few days as I am going on a camping trip to the Lakes. I'm wondering if anyone knows of any militaria dealers around there? We will be around Ambleside for most of it.

Let the Brokeback Mountain jokes begin

Malcolm Bowers of M&T Militaria is in Carlisle which is about an hour drive from Ambleside. If you want to visit I suggest you give him a call to make sure he's open.

You can see his website here: M&T Militaria.

Pay a visit to Grizedale Forest and the site of the old hall as well. It used to be a POW camp in the last war where Franz von Werra escaped from.

Thanks chaps. Harry I had not heard of Franz von Werra before, I just read about his exploits briefly on the net. What a story! I must catch the film. I was saddened to hear he ended up in the sea off Holland though after all that.
