When I got to Thelkeld they were there so quizzed them about their route; they took the line following the fence down off Calva to the sheep pen then crossed the river. So in all they were probably 10 - 15 minutes faster whislt I floundered in the heather and bogs when trying to cross the river. Will be having a run out over the dodds this saturday morning; anybody know if there are any buses back to keswick / Threlkeld to get the car?
I'm pretty sure the 555 stops at Dunmail and then goes on to Keswick. Google buses in Cumbria for timetable, etc. They're pretty frequent. They're also pretty pricey!
