Just seen where it is - I must have gone past it dozens of times without noticing

It was to do with parkrun that I asked the original question - thinking about doing Keswick on 27th April so was looking for somewhere to meet Mrs R4R afterwards if she doesn't fancy hanging around the start/finish area

They can be a bit slow getting coffee - but youngest recommends the "Snoopy" pancakes and bacon breakfast ;)

Little Chamonix is dog-friendly but a bit further from the park than Jasper's.

You're a fan of LC aren't you V'Rap? The last time we were in there the coffee was decidedly mediocre, although I can't fault the cake, both quality and quantity. We've been in the Fellpack most recently, I think they've sorted out their teething problems and the coffee was excellent.

Going down to Keswick later, will report. Skiddaw still looking white from my front door but it's sunny and not particularly cold today.

A group of us from work are coming up to the Lakes in May to do a 22 mile walk...from Keswick. I hope Mother Nature will be kind to us...(I know it's impossible to predict what it's going to be like towards the end of May...)

Skiddaw doesn't look so bad from the GF webcam, I guess it will be fine for the race tomorrow.

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 :-)
