26 TRAVELLING CHARGES. 



For conveyance to a certain point, there is no 

 charge for food for man or horse ; but if there is any- 

 waiting at the end of the drive, in order to return, 

 the feed of the horse and the driver's dinner will 

 amount to about three shillings and six-pence. 

 The hire of a single-horse conveyance for the day 

 is fifteen shillings ; and the driver's pay of five shil- 

 lings makes it one pound a day, exclusive of food. 

 The tolls are invariably charged to the traveller. 



In ascending Kirkstone Pass, between Amble- 

 side and Patterdale, and in goings from Borrow- 

 dale to Buttermere by Honister Crag, all carriages 

 but light cars must have additional horses. It 

 is a pity that the traveller should contest this with 

 the innkeepers, — at least till he knows the roads. 

 In fact, the trouble of the innkeepers in the season, 

 is to find horses for the work, and not by any 

 means to make work for their horses. 



Coach fares are about three-pence per mile out- 

 side, and four -pence-halfpenny per mile inside. The 

 routes of the coaches are : — 



From Windermere Railway Station to Ambleside, Grasmere, 

 and Keswick, over which several run daily during the season. 



From Bowness, via Windermere Village and Troutbeck to 

 Ullswater. 



From Ambleside to Patterdale, Lyulph's Tower, or Ullswater, 

 and Penrith. 



From Ambleside to Coniston. 



From Keswick there are three routes, (1) to Cockermouth, 

 (2) to Lyulph's Tower, Patterdale, and Penrith, and (3) via 

 Greystock to Penrith. 



There is also a public conveyance that runs daily through the sea- 

 son to Buttermere. Its course is up Borrowdale, by Honister Crag 

 and Buttermere Hawes, and it returns by the Vale of New lands. 



Each of the coaches, of course, performs the re- 

 turn-journey. The times of arrival and departure
