Just sitting in the Royal Oak at Braithwaite after going to the Friends of the Lake District meeting in Keswick. Very interesting to attend a meeting at which so many issues were covered. The underlying message seemed to be that everyone is very cheesed off with the direction the LDNPA is trying to take the park. There were many passionate local voices about No Go, Threlkeld path, hotel development, parking etc etc. Thus was a fact find for FOLD, so no great conclusions, but it made me think.
