mushroom May 2019 11:03am, 30 May 2019 1,035 posts	0 mushroom When you look out across the sea, it looks like an attack by hundreds of giant triffids is imminent as they march closer..!
Rosehip May 2019 9:12pm, 30 May 2019 12,633 posts	0 Rosehip They were talking about Duddon on the radio earlier- I don’t know that area at all. Camp Rosehip all set up, should have brought big tent for this weather but needed boot space to cart some of daughter’s stuff home so I bought a tarp to extend this one- no views today but am dry and comfortable:)
R4R May 2019 9:50pm, 30 May 2019 3,003 posts	0 R4R We're going to the Duddon Valley in July - we went last year and loved it. So quiet, even in school holidays
beebop May 2019 9:59pm, 30 May 2019 1,387 posts	0 beebop Up to Coniston this weekend for the hideously early-starting Lakeland Trails Marathon Challenge. If I could definitely run the course within 6 hours, I could start at 9am, which is so much more civilised than 7am. 🙄 I should train harder...

Velociraptor May 2019 10:20pm, 30 May 2019 41,786 posts	0 Velociraptor We plan to have a week in the Duddon Valley with the bike. It seems daft to go on holiday in the county we live in, but I think it'll be worthwhile.
Badger May 2019 10:21pm, 30 May 2019 10,813 posts	0 Badger Me too, beebop. It's revoltingly early, isn't it?
Derby Tup May 2019 10:30pm, 30 May 2019 31,729 posts	0 Derby Tup The Duddon is rubbish. Keep away . . . Stef and I had three or four weeks at the tiny cottage at Cockley Beck during the height of ‘the Obsession’ and really loved it. Tons of great running out of the door
Velociraptor May 2019 10:32pm, 30 May 2019 41,787 posts	0 Velociraptor eL Bee! and I had a week in a cottage in Ulpha with all our children plus a few extras one summer. It rained a lot.

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 :-)
