A sat-nav won’t be much use because most of the lanes are unnamed. This is one of those places where you’re best to rely on a map and signposts. Unfortunately the signposts won’t be of much use because the Council are letting them rot away, as these photos show. The foodie triangle has become a Bermuda triangle.
A few years ago there was a poll in which people were asked “If the Lake District was a car, which model would it be?” The most popular answer was “An E-Type Jag”, meaning that we were full of class but maybe a bit old-fashioned. Now, the answer would be a rusting old jalopy. The Lyth Valley is only a short hop from the County Council offices in Kendal. No doubt many of the officers there make the trip out for a leisurely lunch. I wonder what frame of mind they must be in to see these visible signs of their shocking neglect and yet never get round to doing anything about it?
