A cloudy day like everyday this week so far but the ☀️ broke through the ☁️ at tea time which changed the days feel.

2018, pre-erosion repair vs 2025, six years post-erosion repair, at Maiden Moor, Borrowdale. @NTlakedistrict @lakedistrictnpa @friendsoflakes @lakesfoundation @NECumbria

If this was coming from one pipe that would be the equivalent spilling sewage for over 29 years🚽
This outrageous level of sewage reflects aging & poorly maintained sewage infrastructure.
The sewage must be stopped.
Help us demand better for our rivers cnp.org.uk/support/campaigns…
ALT In 2024, there were 254,808 hours sewage spilling into sensitive National Park rivers.

A great car-free day out at the Keswick show today using the X5 🚌 from Penrith. A very enjoyable day and good weather.
Nice to speak to Anne Marie and John at the "Friends of the Lake District" stand.
