R4R Mar 2023 7:52pm, 15 Mar 2023 3,431 posts	Quote Pin R4R This time, on the right thread: We'll be up in the Keswick area for a week from Friday with our dog. Our nearest unconquered Wainwright is Armboth Fell. Is it wishful thinking to hope that the ground will be frozen but clear from snow? I suspect it will be its normal quagmire but we can live in hope

Velociraptor Mar 2023 8:00pm, 15 Mar 2023 62,910 posts	Quote Pin Velociraptor Forecast suggests at least moderate quagmire potential, R4R. A couple of weeks ago might have been better.
Gromit Mar 2023 4:44am, 16 Mar 2023 1,859 posts	Quote Pin Gromit I’m afraid I’ve prob jinxed it R4R as we’re also up in Keswick for a week starting Saturday - we picked the week based on last years weather being a freaky 18 degrees and and we spent all week in shorts and t shirts 😂😂 obviously we knew it wasn’t seasonally correct but we wondered if we could tempt the weather gods to repeat … I’m up for an obviously very slow run / trot if anyone is around an fancies a meet up ? We also thinking Keswick park run on the 25th 👍

Windsor Wool Mar 2023 9:00am, 16 Mar 2023 5,812 posts	Quote Pin Windsor Wool I was there last week R4R and everywhere was blissfully frozen. Mrs WW walked in non-waterproof trail shoes all week as a result. I fear it might be a little different by now! But if you need a tick.....

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 :-)
