On the facade of Keld Lodge hangs a sign that can be seen as an encouragement to the Coast-to-Coast walker... although for those who walk in the original direction (west to east) the toughest half is behind them.

Wonderful campsite with the option of camping, yurts or bunkhouse. They'll even cook you a meal and serve you from their bar if you give them the heads up in advance. Great mix of walkers, cyclists, outdoorsy people etc.

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.

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

Closed after a rainy day hike...soul destroying event that I don't think I will be able to recover from! Caught it open two days later. Not much there by way of coffee, or cakes. Plenty of stickies and ice cream though. More than anything it is a stunning location, the owners are charming, and has outside seating.

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

This was a godsend, good strong cup of tea and fresh cakes just before the big push over the top.
