Derby Tup Oct 2020 10:33pm, 11 Oct 2020 47,065 posts	0 Derby Tup Strange choice for a honeymoon. It is currently not mega-expensive though and suits us as a base for what we want to do this week. Ran up and down drive. It’s exactly a mile either way
Northern Exile Oct 2020 11:00pm, 11 Oct 2020 6,910 posts	0 Northern Exile Planning to run on the Shap Fells? You can spend all day up there and not see a soul. You can also visit the house from "Withnail and I".

flanker Oct 2020 11:56am, 12 Oct 2020 19,473 posts	0 flanker I see Wet Sleddale and just think of The 3 Rings, hours spent clambering through bogs, and falling off a bridge into a stream full of cow shit, and then having to go for a fully clothed swim in the river to get clean. Loved that event; shame it's no more

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 :-)
