LDMT why not more popular

[PeteS]

i'll be heading up Saturday and I don't know the Lakes at all really. Is there a chip shop between the motorway and Seathwaite? Having struggled with stones in my shoes in the past is there likely to be much scree? I'll don my little gaiter things if so.

I can't think of a chippy anywhere near the A590 off the top of my head. Plenty in Kendal and one in Coniston but a little out of your way.
Not a huge amount of scree around in the Duddon valley nor the Furness fells but there is some nonetheless. Of course I have no way of knowing where the course will take us so can't really advise but I'm sure you will encounter some loose rock at some point in time!

ah that's great thanks

There's a chippy in Greenodd next to the agricultural supply shop just after you turn off the A590 onto the A5092.

I see it on google maps, thanks

Yes. On the LEFT immediately after crossing the River Crake.
You beat me to it whilst I was checking which "Seathwaite" the LDMT was centred on.
I'd check the opening times - I seem to recall finding it closed at one point in the past.

Alternatively, The Square Café on the main square in Broughton-in-Furness appears to keep 'normal day-time shop hours' through the weekend.

Should be good until 8pm if this is up to date:

I am planning on camping at Turner Hall Farm and having a stroll down to the pub.
