ヨークシャーデイルズ国立公園の山小屋＆キャビン・トップ13

The "Halfway C2C" sign hangs on the wall of Keld Lodge. From here, the distance ahead is less than the distance behind you. Just a little motivation 😉

Stayed the night here on a rather cold night in early March. Despite the cold the weather was sunny and I had a wonderful sleep. Although don't expect to get a mobile reception. I must say a big thank you to the Bolton Estate for allowing walkers/cyclists/bikepackers to use this wonderful facility. If you use it please make sure you leave it as you would expect to find it.

If you're tackling the Yorkshire 3 Peaks trail, be sure to stop by the snack bar at Philpin Campsite. Open on weekends from late April to the end of September (Saturday 8:30 AM – 4:00 PM and Sunday 8:00 AM – 1:00 PM), this spot offers a range of refreshments including toast with a hot drink (£4.50), cup-a-soup with a bread roll (£1.20), and an all-day breakfast (£7.00). If the snack bar isn't open, don't worry – there are two vending machines available. One serves hot drinks like coffee and tea, and the other offers snacks such as chocolate bars and sweets. Additionally, there's a toilet available with an honesty box system. It's free to use, but you're welcome to leave a donation if you feel inclined to do so. A great pit stop on your journey!

Old farm house dating back to 1730

The only pub in Keld. It’s dog friendly and hikers are welcomed

Cracking location, a nice looking hostel in a top spot. Nice to see them flying the flag of St. George too, and that's a Welshman saying that. This place would make a fortune too if it sold coffee and cake in this location!

Hag Dyke, on the slopes of Great Whernside in a stunning location, is a hostel administered by Ben Rhydding Scout and Guide Group in Ben Rhydding. The hostel was donated to the group in 1947. The building is quite old. It was originally a farmhouse and occupied at least as far back as 1730. The kitchen area in the house is the oldest. At 1,525 feet, the house is believed to be in the highest position of all the houses in what used to be West Riding.

There is a sign here with the encouraging message that you are halfway through Alfred Wainwright's Coast to Coast trail.
