Enlightened. Silly typo clearly I’m not with it today.

Unlightened. Creativity boosts the economy and comes in all mannerof forms and most certainly is not all digital or AI. Can we have it elsewhere in the British Isles?

I presume so got there shortly before 5pm in a fierce storm.

To be honoured by my peers is really special. Nonetheless CS is a team effort Dave and my wife’s unstinting support for no financial benefit.

Lovely to share a pleasure in a landscape that means so much to so many. My youthful attention was always directed to the romance of the Yorkshire Dales from my mother’s roots.

My exuberance has a sane platform, marshalled by Dave’s clever editing.

We share your emotional pleasure. Out again this coming Wednesday discovering the story or Seatoller and its magical secret hideaway sunless setting.

Not forgetting Helen’s unstinting support.

Not forgetting the unstinting support of Helen too. There are no financial upsides to podcasting.

Punny you should say that.

Thank-you Elizabeth. Up there with David goes my wife for her essential support. The whole seven-year commitment has cost us dearly, there are no financial benefits from podcasting.

Thank-you Jenny. I should also mention the huge contribution and support my wife has given to enable this massive undertaking… which has cost us massively, there are no financial upsides to podcasting.

OWPG inaugural Members’ Award, received this evening, to say I’m chuffed is an understatement. But I also give due credit to non-member and producer David Felton, without his genius this could never have happened.

Henry Jenkinson Gate, walk guide author and the reason Fitz Park at Keswick is open space for all, rather than be smothered in dwellings and guest houses in the second half of the C19th

Out this afternoon recording a Countrystride podcast about the famous Latrigg Trespass of 1878. Our charming and highly informed guest Sheila Wiggins from Bournemouth, a descendant of the principal champion of the cause Henry Jenkinson. Whose name adorns the gates of Fitz Park.

Helen has had to cope with my many ‘great penniless projects’ over the years.

They will all have linescape potential obviously. Your fold-quest will be fun, as it gets you to hidden forgotten corners of the pastoral landscape.

Only self-righteous full-on racists will feel attacked. Labour and Lib Dems are dead right to call it out.

We could do a foldfinder guide with linescapes and maps for them?

Fell gathering words.
