Cumbria May 2023 Issue

Seventy years after the first ascent of Everest we examine the importance the Lakes played in making this possible, and speaking of anniversaries we celebrate the centenary of a Cumbrian jeweller, Ian Francis looks at the perils facing our lakes, Phil Houghton celebrates Lakeland's unrivalled dawn chorus, and Viv Crow encourages us on a hike across Bewcastle Fells. All this, and all of your usual favourite regular features, puzzles, pictures and recipes.
