An Outing to West Cumberland
On a beautiful day in mid November a party of Brethren from West Lancashire made an early start to venture into the District of Cumberland and Westmorland set amongst spectacular scenery of the northern part of the Lake District.

Arriving at Cleator Moor in good numbers they were able to meet friends and share a welcome cup of tea together with a plentiful supply of biscuits, although some had been observed frequenting a local pie shop.
