I've been reading up on Roman history just lately, quite astounding that Ravenglass was their primary port access into northern Britain at the time.

Bloody Romans.

You've got to feel that the soldiers that were sent to Hardknott fort for duty must have done something wrong..!

I always think that. That's a proper "shagged the Commandant's daughter" posting 🙂

Cleator Moor would be an interesting base. It has a Co-op :)

'Interesting' is itself an interesting description of Cleator Moor - unless it's been calmed down somewhat in the several years since I was last over that way

I loved the Crap Towns description of the inhabitants of Cleator Moor as being like tumbleweeds, though when I did locum work there I found them rather less welcoming than tumbleweeds. But it has a Co-op.

"Cleator Moor is the second most affordable town in the UK, according to recent figures released by estate agents, Zoopla."

"Coun. Oliver Dorgan of Cleator Moor said of the news: “That’s excellent to hear. Cleator moor has a lot going for it. I would advise anyone to come and live here."

I think councillor Dorgan is missing the subtext. Or works in marketing.

I like Councillor Dorgan’s take on his town …but you’re probably right..PR and/or marketing

W Wool…if Broughton in Furness was close enough..that would get my vote. Easy for Coniston range as well.
