I think I may just do a simple trip to Keswick where I would still leave Carlisle at 1100 on the 554 and arrive at 1211 then leave Keswick at 1335 on the 554 and arrive back in Carlisle at 1445 then head back to Newcastle.
Think it would probably be more beneficial for me to maybe stay over at least one night so I'd probably be able to be a bit more flexible with times, connections and possibly fit more in and would probably cut the amount of stress for late/missed connections etc. This wouldn't be until next year now though.
Yeah Kendal is the best place to say I'd say as you can go to Lancaster too, and nice thing to do is the 567 to Kirkby Lonsdale then the 81 to Lancaster.
