Lakes 3: Skiddaw House

Posted on 22 October 20162 April 2021 by Rob Ainsley

Cycled to Skiddaw House, an extremely isolated hostel halfway up Skiddaw. Superb views from the top. No wifi, mobile signal or electricity… but there was a piano and guitar, and a wine list ranging from Viognier to Shiraz, so entertainment was not a problem.
