I just looked on air b&b, something my children keep going on about, and there seem to be a couple of places in Cowling.
Obviously I am going to have to move with the times.

......well, I've just joined Airbnb and sent a request for a room in Cowling. I'm waiting to hear if it's accepted. I'll let you know. I'm still struggling to find a place in Horton (everywhere is booked) so it looks like I'll have to get a cab to Settle.

You could always get the train from Horton to Settle, and back in the morning.  Might be easier than a cab.

Perhaps I’ll open a B&B up, Lothersdale maybe, that would be a good place, any takers?


Yes please ... Summer 2022  ;D

.
My second question is can anyone recommend a taxi app (preferably not Uber) for the Cowling/Keighley area and one for the Settle area. If I need to get a pickup to overnight in a larger town, it would be nice to book a cab as I come down from the tops.


Thanks


Re Settle area - not a huge choice of taxis in and around Settle and they are often fully booked. Probably best to look at using the train from Horton to Settle, last one about 9pm it takes just under 10 minutes, and then back again the next day. But note that the early train from Settle does not stop at Horton, so it would be around 10am for the first train from Settle to Horton. Have a look here https://www.northernrailway.co.uk

Edited to add - just seen Islanplodder's post above  O0

I camp and the first time I did the PW going N to S, when I got to Cowling, when I stepped onto the road I turned right for a short distance and then camped in a small field on the left next to a grey older property. Not sure if the place is still open? I had my breakfast in the bus shelter, a nice spot.

Never used Airbnb while walking but have used them in this country and abroad and never had any problems.

I've done that several times before but the 30 miles from Malham to Hawes is a bit much for the old body these days!!

You would miss the food in The Crown Inn, absolutely wonderful - whilst I judge my walks on the challenge/scenery the food/drink is also important!
