Wishing to spend some time admiring this landscape, we stop off at the hotel for the night, before returning in the morning on the 10:01 Stagecoach Cumbria and North Lancashire service 516 to Clappersgate, o/s Croft Lodge, arriving at 10:28 Friday morning.

I was up this way quite recently, beautiful landscape but I wouldn't fancy driving a bus down some of those roads!
