um May 2021 9:03pm, 27 May 2021 4,762 posts	0 um How about the car park at the top of Walna Scar Rd (if that’s what the tarmac bit is called)
rf_fozzy May 2021 9:06pm, 27 May 2021 14,606 posts	0 rf_fozzy Other option is to head up to the car park at Blea Tarn and have a run on Lingmoor. Or if you want deserted, but further away, the road from Ulpha to Eskdale Green is always extremely quiet and you could park up there and go for a potter on Ulpha Common Or even the road over Dunnerdale Fells - and you could run up to Caw from there.
Rosehip May 2021 9:07pm, 27 May 2021 21,234 posts	0 Rosehip - fozzy, see my blog - I'd thought about Blea Tarn because I could have a look at the L50 route whilst there. My blog shows I shouldn't be trusted with ideas, hence asking here
Rosehip May 2021 9:13pm, 27 May 2021 21,235 posts	0 Rosehip (forget that, what I blogged doesn't make sense)
rf_fozzy May 2021 9:14pm, 27 May 2021 14,607 posts	0 rf_fozzy Where's the other Blea tarn? I'm orienteering at Summerhouse Knott on the Saturday and thought about heading over to Coniston afterwards, but hadn't realised that the LT marathon was on, so might avoid that then! Hawkshead might be an alternative.

Rosehip May 2021 9:57pm, 27 May 2021 21,236 posts	0 Rosehip that's the one it took me to - but I have no idea how I did it s the GR is nothing like I typed in. I was so very confused though!

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 :-)
