Summer Lightning

Wednesday 1st Jul 2009 - Friday 3rd Jul 2009

Summer Lightning

The forthcoming publication of some scandalous and incriminating memoirs, the sudden arrival of an attractive West End chorus girl and the shocking disappearance of the ‘Empress of India’, Lord Emsworth’s prize-winning pig, threaten to shatter the sun-soaked country house-and-gardens tranquillity of Blandings Castle. Set under the blue summer skies of the late 1920s, this is a fast-moving, witty adaptation of the popular comic novel by P. G. Wodehouse, best known as the creator of Jeeves and Wooster – an ideal pick-me-up cocktail of fun and laughter.

Steam and Romans

Wednesday 8th Jul 2009 - Wednesday 8th Jul 2009

Steam and Romans

Meeting the guide for the day at Ravenglass station, the package kicks off with a short walk to the nearby bathhouse of the Roman Fort of Glannaventa, the remains of which are amongst the most substantial in the country. Next it’s a steam train through Miterdale and Eskdale to Dalegarth and Fellbites, where a freshly prepared lunch is served. Then it’s off by luxury mini buses to ascend the notorious Hardknott pass with its hairpin bends and 1-in-3 gradients. Mediobogdum, the Roman name for this stone-built fort, stands on a plateau about halfway up the ascent. The footings of the fort survive and the guide brings these to life, while also describing just what can be seen from this spectacular vantage point. Even the Isle of Man is visible on a clear day! Following more than adequate time for exploration and photography, it is back to Dalegarth to catch the steam train bound for Ravenglass. For all participators to enjoy this outstanding day out to the full we have to restrict numbers to 24-people per week. Pre-booking is therefore essential.
