Official West Hartlepool RFC

Thanks Dave and just to add to your interesting fact...the Boar was despatched just at the turn of the 17th Century by all accounts and it was quite an occasion. They named the highest point in the Fells after Him/Her as Wild Boar Fell (708m) and part/parts of the unfortunate creature found their way into the saucepans at The Moorcock Inn at Garsdale Head.

Anyway, for anyone interested the traverse of Wild Boar Fell froms a great day's excursion, but make sure that you have a dry day otherwise it's a bu**er, esp in mist.

Park up at K.Stephen Railway Station and catch the mid morning Train (settle-Carlisle Service) for one stop and jump off at Garsdale Head, grab a Coffee/Bacon (or Boar)Sandwhich at the Moorcock Inn then head NW then North up Grisedale Crossing/Common and up to Swarth fell (608m). Continue north to Wild Boar Fell summit and descend (always headed north. 360Deg Mag, via Little Fell and Wharton Fell until you hit the A683 and back to your car at the Staion - 12 Miles.

Fab views of Mallerstang Valley, 3 Peaks, Cumbrian Fells and Scots Borders.

Plenty of choice for Refs in K.Stephen incl:-

Kings Arms - being refurbished I believe
The Mango Tree - Indian
Fish n Chips on the High St

Happy days ;-)

I like the look of this mid field selection - size matters - esp vs these Cumbrian teams.

No Surrender !

I like the Wainwright bit, Les! Is there any evidence he was of the Master Race?

Tally Ho Stan!

Local folklore has it that he/her had copper coloured tinting on the ears and muzzle ;-)

just another example of MR cleansing I'm affraid Stan. As you know, our copper coloured cousins have been targetted for milennia. I'm not sure if you are up to pace with "Corrie" out in the East of Europe but young Chesney has been targetted by Weatherfield Social Services now. The North West GLM movement are supporting him though.

And so Stan, as always, the struggle goes on ......

Inflation has slowed a slight tad back here in Blighty but still crippling us..... Monster Munch over a Pound a Bag now !!!

All safe and well out there I hope ? :-)
