Looking @ a few nights out in the Lakes so which ones are worth staying in ie rain/wind proof!

Oh and recommend a sleeping bag down to -5 within £150 and not far of a kilo!

Few and far between. There's a few caves or howfs.
Even few that can be ridden to.

There are three that I know of, but 10 years+ since I've used them. 1 howf which had been vandalised a few years ago I heard, 1 hut, 1 bothy. email me if you want locations of the hut and bothy, can't vouch for their current state/status tho.
EDIT: bothy is fleetwith as nealglover above

Biked past Mosedale House I thought someone lived there did not realise you could crash there tis a bit of a slog on bike,so probably unwise with the current conditions.
Warnscale is on the to do list looks like I will have to buy a tarp for some wild adventures! or get upto Scotland
