Wild Adventuress on 08/10/24 @ 7:57If I come on your Friday 1st Walk I will stay on for this
waLezW on 09/10/24 @ 11:54LezW: 👍
Wild Adventuress on 11/10/24 @ 13:51Hi, I've a hospital appointment on the Friday so that walk is out but I may come down for the Saturday walk depending on how good my new prescription painkillers are!!!
JohnH on 21/10/24 @ 12:32JohnH: be great to see you if you can make it. Beautiful valley walks and over low cols. No rocky paths or scrambling 😀
Wild Adventuress on 21/10/24 @ 18:45Wild Adventuress: I'm on stronger painkillers and a new exercise regime, so I'm pretty certain that I'll be able to do since it's more undulating rather than steep up and down.
JohnH on 21/10/24 @ 21:56Now's the problem of trying to get a site for my van, anyhoo, I'll see what I can get tomorrow, cheers, John
JohnH: lots of campervan use the old, A66 Road to suspension bridge leading to Portinscale
Wild Adventuress on 23/10/24 @ 8:34Ccc put up notices to block this but all gone and there are lots of vans using it. But no electric! Braithwaite Scotgate open.
Hope to see you!
Wild Adventuress: Hi, all is sorted, both SheilaB and me are booked into the C&CC site in Keswick, so we'll meet you at Booth's, just let us know when to be there.
JohnH on 23/10/24 @ 9:13That's good to know about the old A66, I always prefer a site with EHU, showers and toliets but you never know what you might need at short notice, see you a week on Saturday!
JohnH: excellent! Be great to see you both. I'm testing my knee on the Dale's Way right now. So far so good but mega hike tmrw! Will let everyone know bus times when I'm home next weekend 😀
Wild Adventuress on 23/10/24 @ 20:02Hi, This will be my first visit to the Lakes after breaking my ankle coming off Caw Fell in June. Should be OK, but might have to cut it short. I will be bringing Alfie with me - working cocker spaniel, 11 months old.
SBSheilaB on 24/10/24 @ 17:39SheilaB: be great to see you again Sheila. It'll be a steady pace. I'm still handicapped by my knee injury.
on 24/10/24 @ 21:20Bus times for Saturday
on 27/10/24 @ 21:25555 bus which stops at Grasmere leaving Keswick Bus Station outside Booths at 0830am. Early start to make sure we get a bus back from Ambleside to Keswick at a reasonable time. Possible return buses leave at least every hour eg. 1622, 1652, 1722, 1829pm.
Provided facilities are still open, there will be several refuelling and toilet stops possible today.
Looking forward to meeting you all on Saturday.
As in the comments for Friday, anyone needing breakfast can get a breakfast bap and coffee or tea for £4 from the counter at the back left-hand side of Booths. The cafe will also be open doing a range of breakfast options. Also the meal deals including main, 2 snacks and drink are good value at £6, just inside store entrance.
