@sportinghistory@ArmittMuseum Thank you Sporting Heritage for supporting out Running Int Fells exhibition at @ArmittMuseum
It runs until early December if anyone not been along to see what the sport of fell running is about.
@CharlieEnglish1@richardaskwith A fitting piece of professional journalism Richard on Joss. Told his story and his funeral in a way that others relate to.
Thank you.
It’s NOT ‘The Joss Naylor Cairn’. It is in fact ‘The Queen Mother’s Cairn’ that the late Joss Naylor built to celebrate her 100th birthday #lakedistrict The recent revised Wainwright guides are WRONG! Other guides too. Joss would never have wanted a memorial to himself as I know and David reveals here in this clip from one of our walking programmes 🎥
Joss’ mark is all about Wasdale.
From the greens where he patiently cleared invasive bracken so trees and shrubs could naturally grow and mature to stone seats and hardy long lasting walls about the dale.
That’s his legacy outside of fellrunning and his incredible achievements.
A humble man who cared passionately about nature, the land, people and that makes Cumbria.
Much like Wainwright, he and others lesser known didn’t want a memorial built. Their work and legacy speaks more to millions of people who love this corner of England - unlike the “commercialism” who seek to ‘rape’ the place for monetary gain at the expense of local communities and heritage 😢💔
I count the national park authority and tourist board in that. Short-sighted, money driven ideologies with no care for nature, people and places 🤬💔😢
@ConistonStone Loads better than anything not from Cumbria and they are absolutely beautiful trophies.
Who would not like one of these when you have done.
The Bob Graham Round. Start and finish Moot Hall, Keswick.
Wainwright 214 tops, all in Lake District.
Keep it in county.
Well done 👍
@TheGreenRunnerz Pleased to have the opportunity to have the Green Runners along talking about your journey at the Running Int Fells exhibition in @ArmittMuseum
@FellFoodie@BBC_Cumbria I did read that there was a couple of incidents on A66 besides the one that shut road at 1330. Very frustrating to be out on our crap road infrastructure once a main road is closed. Sat navigation never helps as it just send cars down quickest route. But you made it 👍
@liziwake@michlichen Watch Countryfile. As if the area did not have enough traffic issues along come two giggling BBC presenters happy to be driving Hardknot and Wrynose passes. Good luck to farmers, rescue service and MRT as the traffic now increases.
