Ray,
what an invitation! Good tunes and incredible pub and Langdale Valley. Do buses still run up the valley? people could camp I guess.

If anybody has the time, drop in at the Church and Church Yard at Chapel Stile. William Irving is buried there - it says so on his tombstone. He was a Lakeland fiddler who worked and played in Langdale. He is the inspiration and source for many of the tunes on A Trip to the Lakes by the Boat Band.
