MrMole May 2019 4:50pm, 28 May 2019 116 posts	0 MrMole Thank you, was good fun. Fantastic weather for the first 2 days, then clouded up on the Saturday, which added to the underwhelming nature of the central fells. Yes there was a lot of climbing. I'm waiting for the gpx files for each day to see just how many feet there was.
Northern Exile May 2019 5:41pm, 28 May 2019 5,087 posts	0 Northern Exile Nice bagging there MM 🙂 Re Shap Wells again. I remember very tame red squirrels in the grounds, great place to see them.
Derby Tup May 2019 5:49pm, 28 May 2019 31,653 posts	0 Derby Tup Definitely worth looking out for NE
R4R May 2019 8:09pm, 28 May 2019 2,998 posts	0 R4R Yes - I saw a couple, but I don't need to go to the Lakes for red squirrels - we have them at home
Rosehip May 2019 8:24pm, 28 May 2019 12,609 posts	0 Rosehip very nice bagging there MrMole - did you Garmin/OS/strava or otherwise the route by any chance? not impressed by the weather forecast for the latter end of the week - I know we said it's very dry, but I fancied a couple of dry days/nights
Garfield May 2019 8:10am, 29 May 2019 10,518 posts	0 Garfield We had a lovely time in Keswick on Thursday and walking about Derwentwater on Friday - the weather was perfect. About 18 miles in all.
MrMole May 2019 9:43am, 29 May 2019 117 posts	0 MrMole RH, Yeah I didn't track the route but my mate/colleague did. I haven't been back in the office yet to get the files from him, but will upload when I can. Haven't worked out how many conquercise zones I'll get, but hoping for a few as well. We stayed in the Grasmere YHA on Friday and there were signs in the grounds saying watch out for the red squirrels.

Somewhere you can confidently ask "which is the best chip shop in Keswick?" and expect an intelligent reply.

Lots of experience and good advice available here, from which B & B or YHA to the best fell for Grandma to climb :-)
