Just back from 4 beautiful days in Keswick. The weather was excellent, the bed & breakfast really nice and the pubs of Keswick very acceptable! We parked the car on Monday afternoon and didn’t drive again until Friday morning apart from a ride back from Rosthwaite on the bus.
By the end of 4 days of walking, the old knees were feeling it a bit, but they seemed to recover fairly quickly, so here’s hoping that 4 weeks won’t be too much!

The scenery in the Lake District really is stunning. We have been lucky enough to travel quite a bit in some beautiful places, but the Lake District is as beautiful as anywhere, and the beer is better than most places.
Both my and Heather’s new boots have been great. We can definitely recommend Meindl. They have been really comfortable even when putting them on the morning after a long walk and neither of us have had any blisters.
The picture above was taken from Friars Crag in Keswick and shows the view at sunset looking south down the length of Derwentwater towards Borrowdale. The view below shows Blencathra from St. Johns in the Vale.
