This was the first walk in a pair during a brief but expensive camping/scoffing trip to Keld with Mike and Theresa from go4awalk....
We had to do a short one on day one due to a late start...
This is a fairly easy walk with just the one hill - following the corpse road which goes to Muker - with a short diversion to visit the fine summit cairn - then to the Kearton Tea Rooms at Thwaite for genteel tea and sparrow-feeding, and then field paths passing some rather cracking but small geomorphological features (a little moraine) and back to Keld for yet more tea, camping and fine scoffs at Keld Lodge, the ex-YHA. The food here is really good. Unfortunately (possibly fortunate for Keld's local economy, the place seems to have relieved me of about fifty quid, which is much more than, say , Aviemore managed on my TGO trip..... and the whole purpose of Aviemore - long practised over many Scottish generations - is to get the contents of your bank account into theirs.
A remarkable effort of which they should be justly proud.)
6 miles and just under 1000 feet of climbing, three cups of tea and a ginger biscuit
Quite a good walk, too....views are a bit special....but it was a bit hazy, though...
