Walk and Skinny Dip in the Lake District?

In April the Lonely Planet web site named Blackmoss Pot, approximately two miles from Stonethwaite, as one of their top 10 places to go skinny dipping. You can find Blackmoss Pot in the Langstrath valley at OSGB NY267113. It has a waterfall at one end and is surrounded by steep rocks, which conceal swimmers from prying eyes on the nearby bridleway, making it ideal for a nude swim allegedly.

We're not sure this is really the time of year for skinny dipping or for any sort of outdoor swimming to be honest but we have now surveyed the walk to Blackmoss Pot.
