Anyone travelling from Whitehaven way to the Buttermere trails tonight need to set off earlier as the road is closed between Loweswater to the Buttermere turn off. There is a diversion which takes you through Thackthwaite along the back roads to Lorton and then you travel back on yourself. Alternatively you can travel to Cockermouth and then come back in through Lorton to the turn off. Which ever route you take you will need to give yourselves extra time.

Please note earlier slipping times for Fellside now Hounds – 5.00pm instead of 5.30pm, Pups – 6.30pm and Open Restricted 7.00pm. There will be no catering.

Thanks Paul
