Kendal Advice

Don't know about B&B in Kendal.
As for walking, it depends on how energetic you want, or how much time
you've got.
A gentle wlak will take you over Scout Scar and around the Lythe Valley.
Good scenery and not too difficult terrain. You can choose any lemgth of
route and still have a good day. Try starting in Underbarrow, where the is a
good pub.
For more "mountain" type walking you can have the choice of Longsleddale or
Kentmere. Parking is a bit restricted at both, and travel down the valleys
needs caution so get there early. You can have a good quiet day on the tops
around Longsleddale - Tarn Crag, Grey Crag and back down from Gatesgarth. An
option would be to carry on over Harter Fell and take in the Western side of
Kentmere Horseshoe.
From Kentmere you could do the classic Kentmere round, either clockwise, or
I prefer going widdershins. Take in High Street and you should comfortably
get round inside 7 hours at a gentle pace.
Want detailed routes drawing up? Mail me direct.

I have to be in Kendal for something next Saturday evening. This is not my
normal stamping ground. Can anyone recommend a good B & B (can't get up
there until late) and a good local day's walk on Saturday?

Can recommend here - without reservation. Great walking around
Longsleddale.

Olive, Peter and David will make you very welcome.

Good pubs near and in Sedburgh too.

Stayed here many times
