Seathwaite

Among them appear Eagle's Clift, Dove's Nest, Whitedale Pike, etc., celebrated names in the annals of Keswick.

The dale opens about four miles higher till you come to Seathwaite, where lies the way, mounting the hills to the right that leads to the Wadmines.

All farther access is here barred to prying mortals.

Only there is a little path winding over the fells, and for some weeks in the year passable to the Dalesmen.

Then the weekends.

Friday night, we'd finish work, drive north, stop at a service station somewhere around Leeds at 10 or 11 at night, up at 6am, finish the drive to Seathwaite in the Lake District.

On the hill by 9am, camp overnight.

Then the bit I still can't describe properly.

He would it should be first called Lune in Dentdale, though the name of Dent seems to show otherwise.

North from Dentdale is Garsdale, and through that runneth a water that after cometh into Seathwaite.

And there is also a water meeting with Garsdale Water, and a little lower in one stream they go into Dentdale Water, which he supposeth to be the stream that afterward is called Lune.

Beside the waters afore it receiveth at the foot of Seathwaite a great brook, the which cometh out of the north betwixt Westmorland and Richmondshire.

This river runneth a seven miles or it come to Dentdale foot and hath received into his bottom the waters aforesaid.

From Dentdale foot it entereth into Lansdale, peradventure so corruptly called for Lunesdale, and runneth in it at eight or nine miles southward.
