I've heard that this issue was raised at the Cumbrian Local Access Forum last week and that the bridge should be open soon...
I do hope so. Those extra couple of minutes could make all the difference!
We did legs 4 and 5 today and the bridge is now open.
nice one stu... I managed a beautiful run out over blencathra... up sharp edge, down doddick fell, up halls fell, down scales fell, bumping into Andy Ramsey twice as he did something similar. What a delight to be on the top in warm sunshine for the first time this year.
Knee seems to be okay so I expect to be out at the 3Ps in a fortnight and ready for your bob in May.
