Welcome to my Cumbrian Way blog for 2011. The Cumbrian Way is one of England's shorter walks but has the advantage of striking straight through Lakeland from South to North. Our journey will take 5 days and will carry us 70 miles with over 10 000ft of height gain - which sounds like thirsty work!! Pint anyone...??

Day 3 - Langdale to Keswick (15 miles)

After much debate cajoling and arm twisting we decided upon the high route today. So after the usual full English it was on with boots turn left and straight up and over!!

Up to stickle tarn and over high raise down on the coast to coast route down into borrowdale and then up Derwent water to Keswick. At 2500 ft High Raise was by far the biggest hill climbed so far but the views were amazing - well worth it.

I am pleased to report that daves navigation was spot on today - however whenever asked how far a certain point on the route was Dave always seemed to know that it was 'just round the corner' or only 'one and a half miles away' !!!

Arrived safely at Easedale House in Keswick. Nice place with good beds and a hot shower. Pint anyone..:)
