    Kirkstone Pass to Brotherswater Inn

    A one way walk from the top of the Kirkstone Pass to Brotherswater Inn required a bit of logistical planning!  We are lucky enough to have two cars and so left one at the bottom and drove the other to the top. This is a pretty tough walk for little feet, approx 4km of ups…
