I'll be there as soon as circumstances allow. Wanted to get those 60 Wainwrights ticked off this year, looking unlikely now .... :-(

Rosehip
We have a cottage booked for a family break that was supposed to coincide with daughter's graduation in mid-July (which has already been cancelled).

Balance is due at the end of May, so still time to find out what's going on but I'm not hopeful.

R4R ...I think that could still happen. 74 days in a way off. It will be a different Cumbria..but if you’re in self contained accommodation..surely that will be ok?

Rosehip..what a shame for your daughter. I loved everything about my graduation ceremony. Well that’s not true actually...most of it was in Welsh, and that was wasted on me. But it was a very happy day.

Those Rebanks books look excellent.

Jacking it all in is quite appealing right now (once things are back to normal).

search.savills.com If I had the money.

I'm due to emigrate to Oz in Nov. I was meant to be on a goodbye tour of the UK this year.

Canute
That's appalling. In my area (south Lakes) the hillsides are surprisingly dry - mainly brittle brown bracken which feels is if it would give a rapid though hopefully shortlived burn

I hope they catch he / she quickly. Apparently there was a similar attempt Honister way recently.

Incomprehensible idiocy. Hope they're caught quickly

Somewhere you can confidently ask "which is the best chip shop in Keswick?" and expect an intelligent reply.

Lots of experience and good advice available here, from which B & B or YHA to the best fell for Grandma to climb :-)
