It’s a beautiful part of the world. Discovered it aged 15 Youth Hostelling with a pal. Keld, Grinton Lodge etc
Coincidentally I was part of the team converting Keld YH to Keld Lodge, several years ago. January & February, staying 4 nights a week B & B in Keld. It was freezing cold. One of the contractors slid off the road one snowy evening en route to Tan Hill for evening food. Rolled it several times. I’ve helped my joiner pal working on a luxury holiday let at Angram, a tiny hamlet twixt Thwaite & Keld.
The Farmers Arms at Muker became my winter local for food & drink 3 evenings a week. Tan Hill on the 4th evening. If the road was passable.
A great contract with stupendous winter scenery, but it was freezing work stripping out the old YH and constructing new internal accommodation.
