By car share

Do you want to save money, reduce parking problems and help the environment? Are you on holiday in the area and want to do a linear walk but can’t work it with public transport?

Using the Keswick car share scheme you can organise a lift with someone passing the start or finish. Logon to the KESWICK CAR SHARE SCHEME (click here). Input your journey details and the system will match you with other people doing the same journey. Share a car and share the cost. You can share as much or as little as you want. This scheme is free, and matches users with other people doing the same journey to enable them to share cars. This reduces the amount of congestion and increases the number of car parking spaces, whilst having a positive effect on reducing environmental impact.
