If this works, it's a picture of Castlerigg in the odd light produced by the tail end of Ophelia.
.

One thing I learnt this weekend: if you want to eat out in Keswick on a Saturday evening when there's a bike (or similar) event the next day, book ahead.

Also, Magnolia, just down from George Fisher, is a place I would go back to even if a few customers seemed to find shutting the door properly too much of a challenge. Pizzas, mussels, other food which looked good, beer both Belgian and local - anyone else tried it? Distinctive ceiling, must have been something specific before it was a restaurant/bar, but no idea what.

We were lucky and managed to get a table in The Pheasant (Keswick) on Saturday evening - mind you we did get there very early.
As well as the bike event, there was a walking/running event at Rosthwaite, and the Lakeland Trails at Ullswater, so no wonder the area seemed busy

I've never had a problem with standing room at The Kingfisher or Old Keswickian :-D

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 :-)
