The north / south divide exists
Pendle
Weather-wise that is. Looking at today’s wet weather across the Lakes and the Borders of Scotland, compared to that of the mild, dry and bright south of Britain, the north-south divide is alive and well. Lakes destination-towns Keswick and Kendal are flooded, with more rain to come…
However, we are sure that this weekend’s fell programme, across the north of the UK, will go ahead as planned. This weekend the Tour of Pendle amongst others are planned, perhaps best to check with the race organisers before setting out:
