With minor differences this stage coincides with Stage G of the well-known Coast-to-Coast walk originated by Alfred Wainwright (also served by the Sherpa Van baggage transfer and accommodation booking service). The original Wainwright route keeps to the high ground, passing the evocative remains of former lead-mining operations on the desolate moorlands around the head of the Gunnerside Gill and at Old Gang Mine. Starting from Keld you pass the Kisdon Force waterfall before climbing past the ruined Crackpot Hall (milepost 27.5) onto the high moorland. An interesting spot for lunch on the high-level route is by the old mine buildings at Blakethwaite on the Gunnerside Gill (milepost 30). There is an alternative low-level route which follows the River Swale - which is better in bad weather, however many walkers prefer this pretty route anyway, as there are pubs available to stop for lunch.
