The Dog and the Spice


Me and Stef are going up to Keswick this evening for a weekend of BG recceing with friends from the FRA forums. We've arranged to meet in the Dog and Gun this evening, and essential weekend pre-hydration will no doubt take place

Our plan is to park in Threlkeld tomorrow, run back down the disused railway to Keswick then do leg 1 back to the cars. Various descent routes from Blencathra will be taken (I'm a 'Doddick Fell, get down safely and save your quads' man, Stef wants to try the 'Parachute'). Beer will no doubt be taken again tomorrow evening and a visit to Lakeland Spice is also on the cards

On Sunday we're going to run out of Keswick on the Cumbria Way over to the foot of Catbells, reverse the Anniversary Waltz finish over High Spy and Maiden Moor, then pick up leg 5 at Dalehead. Whether we drop down to Honister to do the whole of leg 5 remains to be seen
