Walk Itinerary

I assumed that the C2C's accommodation bottlenecks would be at Keld and Ennerdale Bridge. Lodgings were secured at Keld before I booked leave from work and got down to planning the walk in earnest. Ennerdale was less critical, I reasoned, being within a reasonable taxi ride of larger towns; in the event lodgings were quickly secured in the village.

What I didn't anticipate was the shortage of decently priced rooms in Grasmere, other than Hostels. Even booking three months in advance it took four or five emails before finding a vacancy at the Glenthorne Guest House. Although it wouldn't have been a killer blow to either pay through the nose at a classy hotel, or catch a bus to Ambleside, the hiccup did come as a surprise.

The remaining itinerary was settled without any difficulty.
