 From 1 November 2007 the two National Trust car parks at White Moss Common (NY 348 066 ) and Silverthwaite near Skelwith Bridge (NY 341 037 ) will no longer be free for NT members.
Apparently the NT lease these carparks from the owners, Lowther Estates and this lease comes to an end at the end of October, from which point Lowther Estates will take over their management. Notices have been posted in both of these car parks and our thanks to John Paterson for providing this information. There are currently 21 other NT car parks that are free to NT members. |

 Bringing together some well known views with some not so familiar, Mark Denton's newest book certainly shows us The Lake District looking its very best. With its grand vistas demanding to be photographed in the panoramic format Mark brings it all together. |

 Having a brand is the new buzz word and I am afraid that AW has become a brand. Sadly, and I am sure he would hate this, when people mention AW in fellwalking circles, their ears prick up. Of course AW is to be admired, but when people start to abuse this name many years after his death I begin to feel that they might just have lost the plot. Although for anyone unfamiliar to AW, this book might be useful, however to most of us I think that investment in a very large barge pole will be the order. I don't want to slate the company that saved the Wainwright guides but come on Frances Lincoln, let's have some originality if you are going to use the great fellwalker's name to sell a book! |
