Good news on the book!

Your schedule looks pretty well-planned. Seeing the original, I was going to advise against spending a day in Keld bcos there really is nothing there. A day in Richmond (or maybe Grasmere, if you're feeling it a bit :-) will be better spent. The Rosthwaite and Grasmere days (and the Patterdale day if you're doing Helvellyn) probably involve the largest height gain so expect to be a bit sore after them. It looks like you've planned fairly steady days though, so you might find that you've got super-fit and you'd rather have some longer days, then chill out for longer at the end. However it goes, I'm sure you'll enjoy yourself. Good luck.

Graham.
