Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

You could do the same as the delivery van and drive up Garburn road. Should be nice and quiet, and no other headlights to worry about.

I suspect the walna scar car park could be quite busy overnight with people/vans?

I may have just been in Keswick at the ‘right time’ as there was a large-ish crowd of fell-running types and Chris Gaskin came in to finish his unsupported Wainwrights… (I’m afraid to say I had to Google Chris Gaskin)

This morning's Radio 4 'Today' prog. [6-9am] included a number of onsite reports and interviews at different locations in the Lake District. Nick Robinson drew the not-very-short straw of meeting farmers, owners of small businesses and environmental workers inter alia. Return of tourists and greater amounts of littering also came up.

"littering" is putting it mildly. Buttermere looked like a war zone yesterday, I understand that Wasdale was worse.

Bet it's tourists from less than ten miles away that are doing most of the littering.

Yesterday we walked Great Bourne and Starling Dodd from Ennerdale. Very quiet on those two lesser known fells, but the carpark at Ennerdale was v busy. Drove home through central Lakes, and there was a big OMM event going on out of Grasmere. ( we’d noticed it on Saturday as well) That was a hot weekend of running for some people.

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 :-)
