Senior Management & myself are having a 'Long weekend' in Keswick, from Saturday 16th

Heading up via A65, so there should be lots around!!!
Particularly milestones

I intend heading back via Penrith, 'Shap' & Kendal

Lots of images to sort through (500+??)
However, as Shap was mentioned

It's a bleak spot on the summit
I know all about the pre M6 days, when (practically) all traffic to the west side of Scotland went up there, & I've seen plenty of winter pictures
(& even have a book about it

Saturday 16th

May not be actual cut marks. A simpler means of measuring, check the line at the back of the post.

On both, chances are they've been done by wire.

What do you mean? No understanding...

Stock control.

There'd be a wire fence erected in place at that height. Anything passing underneath would be split from the rest.

Seen it once or twice elsewhere. Often with wood backing the fence up.

Any idea on what the piece at the side of the gate would be for?
Seen one other time locally, but that has since disappeared.

Not certain just how local this may be.

Coal chute?

Coal chute?

The metal plate you can see is nearly two foot square. Coal holes were more plentiful and a little over a foot square.

Quick visit to nearby Paisley this morning..
Not the prettiest

BUT what about this? a stunning piece of work..

Thing that always bugged me was,
these cooperatives were started to make things more affordable and to give dividends back to its members, why did they build ornate and sometimes over elaborated buildings...

Inside the Hotel we stayed in
As you can gather, originally it was an external entrance, but is now access to a lounge area

Gate leads to what was a hospital.

Body shute...

One way traffic at least.

Just one weathered BM, on the gatepost of Porter's Lodge, near Hanging Houghton, on today's ride.
