Had Worse Travel the line regularly. We went down the Meathop road adjacent to the Railway line at Grange 2 weeks back. Impassable whole area is one big sponge. The Golf course has resembled a boating lake for the last 6 months. Potential collapsed culvert. Unit has damaged the Sea Wall. Big recovery job. Looking like a fortnight.

Scuba steve Bittersweet with this one. Good for more “tourism” in a now very overcrowded village but the whole saga got a bit messy. Looking back Bluebird should’ve been left at the bottom of the lake. Odd how we were drawn to Coniston yesterday a place visited so many a happy time with my parents in the 70’s the first real Lakeland holidays igniting the passion. And then on to the adolescence misdemeanours of the Crown Inn. Enough said…..

Scuba steve soon got to the Bardsea coast road. No roadworks in town for a change. Carried on up to Coniston - the climbing playground of Dow Crag and the Old Man looking fabulous when the Sun came out a brew in the Herdwick café, really quiet, everyone waiting for the big day of Campbell’s Bluebird K7 return tomorrow maybe. Memories of camping down Bowmanstead many time in the 70s and 80s looking out across the lake at night thinking where he could be. Mixed thoughts of all the wrangling and fighting that’s gone over the years between Bill Smith and the Ruskin Museum then again, maybe the skipper should’ve stayed with the boat All down to this which inspired Bill, a fabulous piece of music from a fabulous band. Had Worse Tell me about it!
