North Yorkshire, United Kingdom
Walks at the moment: We are trying to finish the Birketts, just 30 left out of 541 including Pillar Rock as the finale. Finished the Wainwrights in 2013, last one Slight Side. We enjoy walking in the Yorkshire dales, having done most of the 2,000ers in the old boundaries that was once North Riding and interested in the Nuttalls - keep adding the lists. Welsh 3,000 also lots of good stuff to do in Scotland - plenty of summits2do MAIN BLOG PICTURES PLEASE CLICK TO ENLARGE ALSO CLICK OLDER BLOGS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE FOR PREVIOUS YEARLY POSTINGS

Pubs

There are many wonderful pubs in the Lakes, this is a collection of the ones we have visited;

THE DRUNKEN DUCK, AMBLESIDE
This is not a drunken duck, not yet anyway!
Great pub, fantastic sandwiches, chips and beer, the beef sarnies are to die for. Avoid Bank Holidays, school holidays - families with kids and Sunday walkers, I know that's a bit snobbish but you make your choice!

THE HORSE AND FARRIER, THRELKELD
Directly below Hall's Fell on Blencathra. Always busy, great atmosphere, good beer - food is ok, general pub grub. Boxing Day is jumping after everyone has been up Blencathra to work off those Christmas excesses. Rub shoulders with top Chris Bonington.
 
HARDKNOTT BAR AND CAFE, ESKDALE

 
Friendly pub, great gardens at the front and a good selections of beers. If you ask they are more than willing to let you park up for a day's walking.
 
THE SCREES, NETHER WASDALE
 
 
Just across from The Strands, another fine pub, this is worth a visit for the Scafell chilli steak burger alone, one of the best I've tasted - 12ozs of pure heaven!
