Catbells

Well, there's so many, of course.

But if you start at Littletown, onto Catbells, and then drift up onto Maiden Moor and High Spy... and then down to the tarn, Dale Head Tarn, and up the nicely pitched path onto Dale Head, that marvellous cairn, and you get a wonderful view north towards Skidder in the distance, skirt round onto Hindscarth, and dip down onto Scopen, where the heather is, and that is absolutely majestic, and come down by the chapel in the valley, and it's a wonderful day, scenic in every dimension, because you've got the view to the south from Hindscarth towards High Stile, all those magic places

yeah that is an absolute classic isn't it is that the right way around to do it do you think i wonder if it's maybe better to go up hind scar first i suppose actually the merit of your way is those little scrambles up cat bells which particularly in wet weather you'd rather be ascending

and actually the steps up onto dale head are easier going up than they are going

And then Manistee, get round the lake there on the Cumbria Way, back into Keswick.

There's plenty of places to stop for a drink, cup of tea, cake or whatever en route, including Lodol Falls Hotel, obviously, if you really want to.

But equally, there's loads of little coffee vans now around the Catbells area.

And if you fancy something a little bit fancier, you can go to Lingholm with its walled garden.

Now, some people say that little Lucy had been asleep upon the stile.

But then, how could she have found three pocket handkerchiefs and a pinny pinned with a silver safety pin? And besides, I have seen that door into the back of the hill called Cat Bells.

And besides, I am very well acquainted with dear Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle.

The end.

What we did yesterday, right at the end, is we looked at a lovely picture of Keswick in the sun.

Remember the sun? Yeah, it was only yesterday, wasn't it? So here's a picture from the top of Cat Bells looking back towards Keswick.

And I asked you yesterday, do you remember, what does you think about God when you see that picture? What do you think about God? And some of the answers were that God is amazing.

God is powerful.

God is powerful.

God loves beauty.

God designs well." But you will also say, "God is the victor." Now, uh, who, who's walked up Cat Bells? Quite a few people.

It's the people who are in the front, the enthusiastic people who have walked up Cat Bells.
