Aaaaaarrrrrhhhh. Sorry. I was far to tollerant in the last post. I have just re-read this whole thread and have to comment before my blood pressure goes through the roof. Thet cannot be serious can they? Because they are not attracting blind, one legged, lesbian, lithuanian refugees they are having to close?
And sorry Liz. You are talking complete and utter bollocks. I have met hundreds of people out on the fells and the majority were neither middle class or middle aged. If you start to suggest otherwise I will personaly pay for you and limpet to get up to Glenridding on a wet Febrauary morning for you to walk up the Pike with me. Are you up for it or are you saying that if poor Southern mothers on low incomes cannot be lifted up there by helicopter is is not worth doing;-)
