Hey Joe

I've just returned from a long weekend in the King George IV Inn which is situated at the Western end of Eskdale in the English Lake District,Cumbria.The dale runs East/West for about 5 miles.It's Eastern end rises steeply 33%(1in3) at times and passes via Hardknott Pass into Langdale.Hardknott Pass has the remains of a Roman Fort which guarded the route from the Copper and Lead mines in Langdale to the Roman port of Ravenglass about 10 miles from Eskdale.For beauty Eskdale is without compare in my humble opinion. Also the KGIV is one of the finest Inns in England,roaring open log fire,stone flagged floors,Theakstons Old Peculier(aka Milk of Amnesia),Jennings Snecklifter(Rocket fuel),Wobbly Bob,Old Horizontal,and one for the ladies at 4.8%abv Piston Broke,Ales on Draught. The food is excellent too.
If I die and wake up at the bar of the KGIV I'll know i've made it to Heaven.
