Penrith Train Station

Traveling from London to Keswick soon. Is Penrith the closest train station? Also, does anyone know if the Enterprise car rental is in walking distance from the train station?

Are there any pubs by Thirlmere?

I'll be hiking up Helvellyn in a few weeks and I was wondering if there's any pubs along the A591.

Just in case I need to kill time waiting for the bus back to Keswick

Got caught out on Helvellyn this week, what do you actually check before heading up?

Forecast said decent, bit of cloud, nothing major. Got higher up and visibility dropped loads + wind picked up way more than expected. Was fine overall but definitely a should’ve checked better moment. What are you guys actually looking at before going out apart from the usual weather apps?

Do you pack for worst case every time or just what you think you’ll need?

I either overpack and carry stuff I never use, or underpack and wish I had something. Haven’t found the balance yet. What's a minimum for a fairly standard hike?

Air BnB dilemma!

Just wondered if anyone can help! As a small or individual Airbnb host - would you recommend using a cleaning company or doing it yourself? Would be great to hear any recommendations - Thanks!!
