Dave A Sep 2017 7:36pm, 28 Sep 2017 21,800 posts	0 Dave A Last day of holidays. A walk of just under 17 miles to knacker the dogs. Kentmere, L50 route towards Sleddale but at the summit of the climb out of the valley we took the path up the Fell. Shipman Knotts, Goat Scar, Kentmere Pike, Harter Fell, Mardale Ill Bell, High Street, Thornthwaite Crag, Froswick, Ill Bell, Yoke, Sallows, Sour Howard, Capple How, then back down the hill and into Kentmere. 11 Wainwrights plus 2 other Birkett etc summits.

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 :-)
