The "Halfway C2C" sign hangs on the wall of Keld Lodge. From here, the distance ahead is less than the distance behind you. Just a little motivation 😉

The former Stainmore Railway, now a surfaced multi-user path, has some lovely walking along its length. The Northern Viaducts Round follows just over a mile of the former Stainmore Railway, which once linked the coalfields of South Durham with the iron and steel industries of the Furness district of Lancashire and West Cumberland.

Part of the Swale Trail out from Gunnerside. Great valley ride and up from the old lead workings. Would have been better if the rain had not been torrential but par for the course on this day.

We called in here on a busy but wet bank holiday Sunday after hiking nearby Hoove Hill. Despite the horrid weather, the pub cheered us up no end. We had nice service—I mean, really nice, friendly smiles, polite, attentive, and were super quick. The food was also good, not the biggest portions I have had in a pub, but it was all very filling, quick, and well presented. All this at a decent price too. £42, for a main course meal with two drinks. It is obvious that the highest pub in Britain also has high standards, see you again soon!
