The annual Appleby Horse Fair is held regularly in early June. It brings Gypsies and Travellers from all over Britain to the town. It is said that the earliest record of the fair dates back to the 12th century, with a charter from Henry II, but it is believed to have a longer tradition. This year was my first visit, with a camera and with an open mind. I had spent quite a bit of time in the weeks leading up to the event finding out more about it. This included interviews on Eden FM, as a lot of information was aired 4 weeks prior to the event, during the event and after the event. The information generally on traffic news before and after, but also general information.

After a tasty bacon and egg roll at the Eden River Café, we took a spot on the bridge. Was it the calm before the storm? No. There were not a lot of people about; a few agency photographers arriving soon after we EdenLocal

had positioned ourselves in one of the passing points in the centre of the bridge. I just wanted to see the day unfold and we had chosen not to go on a busy day. I arrived in Appleby at 08.30 on Friday 3rd June.

Accompanied by my youngest daughter, it was also her first experience and she isn’t a fantastic horse lover.

There are two sides as I see it; the view of the visitors to Appleby and the view of the residents of Appleby and as someone just stepping into see for myself how this unfolds, I’m not passing any judgement on it. What I do know is a lot of work goes in to making this event safe and it would seem the Multi Agency Strategic Co-ordinating Group (MASCG) does not organise or 'manage' the Fair. The MASCG provides a co-ordinated forum for the various public agencies that have a regulatory or service delivery role prior to, during or after the Fair. It is a traditional holiday or

gathering for the Gypsy and Traveller community rather than a spectator event.

That moment in the morning seeing the first horse breaking into the water with its rider was quite a relaxing scene. There were not many people about.

Of course the tempo grew through the day. It was more of a show, but also on the day, we were watching what these visitors to Appleby have done for generations and here in front of us were many more generations with their horses for the first time. I didn’t see it as a media story. It’s a tradition, it has grown, but early reports show possibly less Gypsies and Travellers attending this year. Has this event now peaked? I’m looking forward to finding out more from the feedback which I hope to report back with.

en Local Welcome to the month of June.

Doesn’t it feel good to be out in the sunshine?

Whether you are focused on your garden, making the most of your barbecue, enjoying looking out of your window at the blue sky, or just feeling the warm on your face, summer has finally arrived. At the time of writing this opening, it’s 24 degrees. The day before I sat out with my laptop taking in all that was around, but I didn’t get much work done and ended up gardening! So as I complete this edition on Monday 6th June, I’ll take time to reflect where the Eden Local has taken me this month and what’s coming up in June.

I am pleased to once again welcome new businesses like Castle View Construction (page 9) into the Eden Local and I am looking forward to the potential of a 3 month promotional campaign shared with Eden Local and Eden FM, working in partnership with the Wannasee Festival 2016. So I’ll say now, Wannabee at Wannasee, there will be information via all local media used by these two local media groups. We make a start on page 13 with our introduction to Wannasee.

As the Eden Local goes out, many of us may venture to the polls with a yes or no, if we haven’t already voted online or via post. I have been asked my views on this by many friends debating the for and against vote.

There’ll be a lot of information out there, but something I will put into the pot on this one is where the people of Penrith were before it had a town council. I led a campaign which firstly had to consider why on two occasions attempts had failed to even get to a referendum.

In local press the feature was about how much it would cost, but no one actually knew the real answer of costs. In 1974 when the Rural District based at Mansion House and the Urban District based at the Town Hall disbanded, town councils like Appleby, Keswick, Cockermouth and many

The Great British Asparagus methods you can use with Asparagus and in turn this enables me to use it to enhance a number of dishes on our current menu.

This delicate vegetable must be treated with respect and care. One simple trick I use is to peel them from the main stalk up to the bulb of the tip which will leave you with a white stalk and purple & green tip, blanch in a pot of boiling salted water for two mins until tender and immediately drop them in to ice cold water to cool leave for five minutes then drain and set aside. This helps to lock in the flavour whilst preparing them for greater things!

British Asparagus are a rare treat. The growing season in our climate starts at the end of April through to June. When it is available I love to use it as much as I can and I push myself to create as much diversity in my dishes as possible.

The versatility, texture and flavour are all released in different ways with each of the various cooking

From here I can choose to serve them as they are or else Steam, Roast, Grill, Fry or Char Grill them depending on which dish they are to be served with. One of my personal favourites and a popular dish on the current Stoneybeck Menu is British asparagus & goat’s cheese cream, hazelnut, onion ash & sage butter.

British asparagus is packed full of goodness, so not only are you getting a delicious vegetable but a healthy one too.

Stoneybeck Inn is open 9am – 11pm Monday to Saturday and 12pm – 11pm Sundays and Bank Holidays. Booking is essential.

PENRITH FARM SAVED FROM CLOSURE WITH RECOVERY OF SIX-FIGURE SUM

by Vikki Todd

Butterworths Solicitors are delighted to have helped save a Penrith dairy farm from closure.

negotiating more flexible and generous repayment

Recently published figures state that a staggering 86 dairy farms have closed in Cumbria* in three years at a jaw-dropping cost of £80 million to Cumbria’s economy. With this being an issue which is clearly not going to go away, Butterworths have successfully turned their attentions to helping struggling farmers by reviewing their banking relationships and restructuring their finances.

Dougie Graves a dairy farmer based at Priory Farm, Armathwaite has been one of the lucky ones. Mr Graves was struggling with severe financial difficulties and struggling to restructure his finances due to the financially crippling terms levied by the Clydesdale Bank whom Butterworths have found to be one of the main culprits for the mis-selling of fixed term loans.

Tony Butterworth, senior partner, said “This is a real problem for the farming community. Farmers who are struggling financially are being further penalised by their lenders at a time when they are trying to address the imbalance in their accounts”.

Tony continued “During 2015 we recovered almost £1.5 million in relation to the mis-selling of Fixed Rate Loans. We have seen this to be primarily by the Clydesdale and Yorkshire Bank however we have run and continue to run, cases against RBS, Lloyds and many others”.

Butterworths successfully challenged the extortionate breakage fees and unwarranted interest charges levied by the Clydesdale Bank on repayment of the farms business loan and also recovered a substantial six figure sum pay-out for Mr Graves which provided a vital cashflow lifeline to the business enabling it to continue trading.

As part of the banking service and cashflow analysis, Butterworths also carried out a thorough review of all business finance and supplier agreements for farm machinery and livestock feed with a view to

terms, assessed farming assets and identified land for disposal where appropriate.

Tony told us “We are delighted to have been able to help Mr Graves and his family to continue trading.

The closure of dairy farms in Cumbria is a sad loss both economically and in terms of the regions identity. The decline of Cumbrian farming affects many more than those just directly employed, it impacts on entire communities. We encourage any farmers experiencing financial problems to contact us and take advantage of our free consultation”.

more were created. Penrith didn’t get a town council, but it became the base of the new district with all its assets going to the district.

I don’t know if this was the people’s choice or the choice of those who were then leading the council, but 40 years on Penrith in many ways had lost all powers as a parish and in 2014 when the campaign for Penrith to have its parish council back took place, it was a bit like untying a ball of knotted cotton. We can’t undo the past, but when it came to making a decision on yes or no, the only way to find out the cost of this change was to get a town council in place and then follow a process of re-establishing services and authority at a local level. It won’t happen for a few years as this needs to be worked at, but no one’s going to untangle those knots; it’s about taking the town forward.

One of the key elements written in the literature posted through doors in this campaign, was a question left open ended for the people to decide. If the people of Penrith were already paying for services, would they be paying twice if it’s something they already have? The campaign was honest; the cost unknown with only one way to find out.

As I see the vote for the people of the UK, if they feel their hands are tied and they have no say through the politicians elected, then it’s an opportunity not only for those that don’t normally turn out to vote in local and general elections, but it’s also an opportunity to have a say in what they think is right. Be it ‘yes’ or ‘no’, we may only see this opportunity once.

I remember seeing New Zealand butter coming in from New Zealand. It wouldn’t fit the box anymore because ½ lb is now a 250 gram pack (8.82 ounces). Corned Beef still comes in tins from Argentina and Brazil. You can’t buy 4 oz any more off the slicer, it will be 113.398 grams. We buy petrol and diesel by the litre, but when we buy a car, it’s sold by how many miles it does to the gallon. Back then you could buy Brie by the pound, but somehow in our history and heritage we’ll still buy a pint of beer. Since 1970, whilst we went from shillings to pence, I have often wondered why it has stood the test of time and never been a euro. In the mix of so much European legislation is where we are, possibly a lot of knots in black cotton.

In May I paid a long overdue visit to Alston, to expand both the Eden Local and start the project of having a small Eden FM studio in Alston that would be linked to the Penrith studios, offering the people of Alston slots on Eden FM, this part of a much larger project. More to follow on this over the summer months but on page 12 an update from Alston.

Possibly one of the biggest projects I have ever taken on has been Eden FM Community Radio. Set up in the back of what was then the Cumbria Mini Centre after 5 years at Ullswater Road garage, we have moved out to a more suitable site, with better access to all, it’s still a work in progress. The move was planned for 2016, but it was unfortunately brought forward, leaving the team of volunteers with just three weeks to relocate a full update and invite will be in next months Eden Local Walk this way? We have featured many walks over time and with summer upon us, maybe it’s time for the re-introduction of a local walk. I don’t pretend to be a regular walker on the fells, but I am a dog walker and as part of a mission in a change of my lifestyle, I have to make sure I set aside time not just for a quick walk around the Wetheriggs park, but also to get out and do some walks that may be are a good hour up to two hours. These might be walks you have done, however, as the Eden Local hits new people moving in and around the Eden Valley, these for me are walks that I only wish I had known when I first moved here.

I don’t mind the odd slope, but I do like to complete a loop and end up where I set off from. I don’t really like to go down a track only to turn around and walk back the same way. I possibly, like many of you that I share the magazine with, haven’t got far to travel for breath taking views; with no shortage of fresh air and open space. On page 24, my walk, with a simple start point and some images on the way, I hope will help you to follow the route to a new feature called walk this way, which I hope you enjoy.

If you have a walk you would like to share that’s an evening, weekend or short walk that’s long enough to clear your head or take your mind away for a short time, please let me know. It might be that you would like to share this? Send in some images and a short piece about your favourite walk.

And finally, for the first time since publishing the Eden Local, I paid a visit to Appleby Horse Fair. The front cover I have called ‘the other side of the bridge’. On pages 2 – 3 you will see the other side of the bridge with all images taken on the same day. Please note that Eden District Council are collating feedback for this event, which needs to be with Eden District Council by the end of June.

I hope you enjoy your edition of Eden Local. Your next edition will be published online at www.cumbrianlocal. co.uk on Tuesday 5th July with distribution through doors commencing on or around the 7th/8th July.

A view that is not just a local builder Castle View Construction is a local building company based right here in Eden Valley.

As a local business formed in 2006, originally it started trading as A&M Joinery & Building with two local men Matthew Cook and Allen Williams. Earlier in 2006, the company expanded its ideas and rebranded its business with Matthew now heading it up, building the business on a full range of services from small installation and renovations requiring building work, to extensions as well as taking on projects from building plot to new builds, for domestic and commercial clients.

A range of professional services are available which show Castle View Construction’s strengths in joinery, building, plastering, tiling and they can also supply and install Upvc products. Choosing the right windows and doors for your home can be a tough decision to make. You need to consider style, comfort, security, performance and durability. You also want a product that will enhance the appearance and value of your property for years to come.

Castle View Construction offer two systems that fit all these requirements easily; the swish range of windows and doors and the Synseal synergy system. Today both companies stand at the forefront of system developments; designing and manufacturing top quality window and door profiles which combine good looks, outstanding strength and intelligent detail.

And whilst we have had a glorious start to the summer in Eden, here is another specialist area we have been working on, which we think will go well here in Eden for the not so sunny days we experience in the winter months.

Castle View Construction also have a portfolio in the erection of custom made canopies across the north of England and Scotland. All canopies are custom made to specific size and requirements, from initial measure to the final build. Get in touch and see what we can do for you. We can have you covered, ready for winter.

Does your conservatory need a

professional CLEAN?

A complete, affordable interior and/or exterior conservatory cleaning service using specialist access and cleaning equipment that will leave your conservatory looking like new.

A CONSERVATORY is an excellent investment, increasing the value far above its cost and when looked after properly, it will last for years. But, if it isn’t cleaned properly, there could be problems – and that’s where ConserVClean* comes in. Michael McFarlane could not find anyone to clean his own conservatory, so he started up ConserVClean which has been growing ever since.

Most work has come via customer recommendations.

The company is fully insured and uses specialist cleaning and roof access equipment. The system can extend the life of a conservatory and also helps to prevent potential leaks and algae growth.

“Conservatories cost on average about the same price as a family car”, says Michael. “Proud car owners wash and wax their vehicles and send hundreds of pounds a year maintaining them. But, you only keep a car two or three years, and you lose money on it.”

“A conservatory costs thousands too, but it will last a lot longer than a car, and it’s an excellent investment if it is properly maintained. It’s only common sense to keep it properly cleaned.”

“Wet weather and bird muck can contribute to the decay of a conservatory. If conservatories are not maintained, they will become dirty and green algae forms, possibly feeding on the rubber seals”, says Michael. “Algae can grow within key joints which if left untreated may leak and the value of the conservatory may fall unless expensive repairs are performed. This need not happen if the conservatory is regularly cleaned.”

EdenLocal

The magazine that relies on doors for circulation not sales

Powerwashers and normal cleaning brushes can damage seals and scratch poylcarbonated roofs, making good homes for dirt. For a fraction of the cost of maintaining a car, ConserVClean will increase the looks, reduce problems and prolong the life of your conservatory.

Trying to sell your house? A gleaming conservatory will increase the selling appeal.

Let in more light! A brighter interior – even a thin layer of dirt can diminish light penetration.

Preventative Maintenance. Cleaned once or twice a year, your conservatory will be kept in good condition and you will get maximum enjoyment from it.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY “Excellent hassle free professional service. Makes a pleasant change.” Mr M, Workington “Brilliant, it looks just like new! I was delighted, I’ve never had the inside cleaned before and it looked wonderful when Mike had finished. Everyone should take advantage of this excellent service.” Mrs C, Carlisle

Something Unique, Something Antique Some of the selection of items in stock at Sarjeant Group

Here at Sarjeant Group we offer a range of services.

We supply antique and new furniture, hold quarterly antique auctions, but our main service is house clearances. We have many years experience in clearing houses.

We separate items for various auctions to enable the best price possible, as well as disposing of all rubbish, ensuring we leave the property ready for marketing.

We do not charge an hourly rate for this service and also do not charge for haulage.

July

the next forty days.

St Swithin’s Day if thou dost rain, For forty days it will remain.

St Swithin’s Day if thou be fair, For forty days ‘twill rain nae mair

July is in full flow, hot sunny days, and clear blue skies, gentle rain over night to keep the gardeners and farmers happy and blissful school holidays...we hope!

July is the seventh month but originally was the fifth in the early calendars of the Romans and was known as Quintilius; however it was decided to rename it in honour of Julius Caesar who was born on 12th of the month. The AngloSaxons referred to it as Heymonath or Maed Monath referring to haymaking and the flowering of the meadows.

As usual Britain has many ‘interesting and quirky’ traditions and customs that occur during July.

Royal Swan Uppers wear a scarlet uniform and travel in traditional rowing skiffs accompanied by Swan Uppers from the Vintners and Dyers’ livery companies. Local schools are invited to meet the Swan Uppers and sometimes the cygnets! This year the Swan Upping will begin on 18th July at Sunbury on Thames, Middlesex and will finish 70 miles away on 22nd July at Abingdon Bridge, Oxfordshire.

On the 15th of the month we often keep a close eye on the weather as it is St Swithin’s day and tradition says that whatever weather we get on that day will be the weather for

The census of swans takes place on the River Thames in July in a ceremony known as ‘Swan Upping’ This is a long standing tradition which plays an important role in the conservation of the mute swan and involves The Queen’s Swan Warden collecting data, assessing young cygnets and ensuring that they are well and healthy.

St Swithin was a Saxon Bishop in Winchester who was renowned for charitable deeds and building churches. Legend has it that when he was on his deathbed he asked to be buried outdoors where he could be rained on and his burial spot could be walked on. His wishes were carried out for nine years but the monks of Winchester decided to move his remains to a large and ornate shrine inside the cathedral on 15th July 971. It is said that during the ceremony there was a tremendous rainstorm which has led to the oldwives tale that if it rains on St Swithin’s day then it will rain for 40 successive days, a fine day will ensure 40 days of good weather. There is no scientific or meteorological evidence to back this up!

More locally we have the annual Rushbearing on the first Saturday in July at Great Musgrave in the Eden Valley. This is one of only a handful

EdenLocal • 15

of Rushbearing celebrations that still survives in the county today. Its origins lie in the custom where the earth floor of the church would be covered in rushes.

In July they were replaced to keep the church fresh.

In Great Musgrave there is a procession of clergy and children accompanied by music. Boys carry crosses and the girls carry crowns made of flowers, these are kept in the church until the following year. The procession starts at the Village Institute and culminates at St Theobald’s Church. This year the Rushbearing will be on 2nd July. Other local parishes also hold Rushbearing ceremonies at Warcop in June, Ambleside, and Grasmere and at Urswick in South Lakeland.

Did you realise this was a GAS stove?

Whilst we are known for doing Wood burning and Solid fuel stoves, there are many choices and styles available in gas fired models. Both traditional and contemporary versions are available which give you that cozy glow of a real stove but with the convenience of gas, switch it on and off as required. Some gas stoves can even be remote and/or thermostatically controlled meaning you can even keep your feet up while doing it!

Holidays and Holy Days important for our wellbeing; the stress and relentless pace of living for many people is not conducive to healthy personal or family life. Earlier generations may not have had ‘holidays’ in the way we now think of it, but were perhaps closer to the rhythm of the seasons and the daylight hours. Having said that, it’s hardly a modern question; ‘Come part and rest for a while’ Jesus urged his friends in the midst of busy, demanding lives.

Holiday, ‘down-time’ and rest remind us that we are more than what we ‘do for a living’ and the Genesis creation myth depicts God appearing to take time off within each day’s work as well as having a rest to enjoy it all. Made in his image suggests that we function best when do similarly. Our modern life makes it very difficult for many people to rest on Sunday of course, but the principle of a rhythm of rest is a gift to renew, sustain and re-create us.

‘Are you getting away somewhere this summer?’

It’s a familiar question at this time of year. Those whose holiday times are restricted to the school term dates lament the astronomical increase in prices of holidays and others are able to take advantage of early summer bargains for travel abroad. The holiday season is a vital part of the Eden economy and many local businesses will be hoping for a good trade to help them on the road to recovery from winter floods.

Many local families of course are not able to afford holiday breaks away but may still look forward to days out and about in Cumbria.

Cumbria offers beautiful space and generous hospitality for many people to come and enjoy the gift of rest and holiday (as the busy roads into the county testify every Bank Holiday weekend), but if we’re not careful such recreation time can become just as driven, fraught and demanding as the schedule which makes it necessary in the first place. Slowing down takes time but it is a good habit to practice in the midst of busy lives.

w o r l d w i d e t r av e l

Local church communities will also welcome many visitors to our region over the next three months; we look forward to our lives being enriched and perspectives broadened by those we meet and we hope that the hundreds of thousands of visitors to Eden this summer will return home knowing that Eden continues to be a wonderful place of re-creation.

Save our hospital the fact that the local GP practice might not be viable without the hospital. Without qualified medical personnel on Alston Moor, the lengthy wait for an ambulance is obviously going to have very serious implications for the whole population of Alston Moor.

Alston Moor, in the heart of the North Pennines, is the most remote community in mainland England. So it’s not surprising that it is as self-sufficient as possible.

The winding roads linking it to major centres are not only very slow to travel along, but in winter weather can be impassable or dangerous. When the Success Regime (which is aiming to improve healthcare provision in West, North and East Cumbria) proposed closing the in-patient beds in all, or most, of the five community hospitals as part of their changes, it is not surprising that the people of Alston Moor came out in force to protest.

Each of the five hospitals – Keswick, Brampton, Wigton and Maryport, as well as Alston – has good reasons to argue for retention. All of them offer facilities for respite, palliative and end-of-life care as well as convalescent care after acute admission to the major hospitals in the region. They thus ensure that people are not adding to the pressure on beds in the Cumberland Infirmary (Carlisle) and the West Cumberland Hospital in Whitehaven when those facilities are not required. It is not EdenLocal

always straightforward for friends and family to visit patients at a considerable distance, but it is well-known that recovery is much faster and more certain when such support is given regularly and frequently, as is possible at these local community hospitals.

For Alston Moor, the situation is even more serious. Not only is public transport virtually nonexistent, making Carlisle Infirmary visiting nearly impossible by that means; even for those with cars, the time and difficulty of the journey puts an impossible burden on those who must give up work, miss time at school, make other arrangements for those for whom they care etc – and all for what may be only a very brief visit, this being all that some patients can handle.

The problem is not simply the isolation of patients and the considerable stress on friends and family. If the in-patient beds at the hospital bed are closed, there will be no nurses and hence no nurse-led treatment unit (for minor injuries etc). Everyone with even minor difficulties would have to get to an Accident and Emergency provision. Even more worrying is

The magazine that relies on doors for circulation not sales

The stated aim of managing the care of as many patients as possible at home seems not to have taken into account the considerable difficulty of recruiting domicillary staff locally, and the very long travel times for staff coming from elsewhere. Such provision is paid for through Social Services, funded by Cumbria County Council, so there are considerable uncosted consequences there, too.

The local community thinks that the Success Regime has completely failed to understand the full result of closing the Alston Community Hospital. The costs for the NHS, for Social Services and for individuals will be huge.

For a cohesive community, the removal of a centrepiece of the local infrastructure would be devastating. The Success Regime, and NHS England as a whole, has no experience of delivering healthcare in such a rural situation and a pilot scheme, based on proposals put forward by one of the local GPs and a stalwart of the League of Friends of the hospital, would, the community believes, be the best way forward.

The community hopes that everyone who supports their efforts to retain the in-patient beds will sign their petition: www.thepetitionsite. com/431/491/259/our-lives-areunder-threat-save-alston-cottagehospital-beds/

Walk this way

by Lee Quinn

A walk with pictures; it’s a simple route. Whether you are new to area or maybe it’s one you have never tried, from Long Meg, you’ll follow the road with the farm on your left and then you’ll see a gate to your footpath.

Simply follow the footpath which takes you up a simple incline that as you get nearer the top you see views on your left over to Beacon Fell. As you reach the end of this path, you come to a sign post opposite a gate, with stunning views.

We’re heading for St Michael’s Church as you again follow an up hill track. Turn around when you get near the top and look around.

In the distance you’ll start to see the church. As the track

where you cross the road to pick up the footpath which is on the right had side of a field.

There may be cattle in the field

levels out you’ll be turning right into the church yard, following the path that takes you back to Long Meg, first you’ll leave the church yard through a gate across a small field, then at the other end a small gate

Staying to the right, you’ll now come across another gate and the path which takes you back to Long Meg, which is now visible from the path (Pic 9). This walk can comfortably be completed in less than an hour.

House Martins © John France

It's been great to see the House Martins back at Thacka again.

I spent over an hour watching and photographing this steel blue and white, summer visiting species collecting globules of mud ( which is used in the construction of their nests), from a tiny pool of water measuring just a couple of square feet, located on the main walkway around the nature reserve. Up to 20 House Martins would land next to the puddle,as joggers and dog walkers passed by. Sam, my own Cocker Spaniel, sat as good as gold watching next to me, mesmerised by the birds antics.

Garden Warblers and Common Whitethroats have been particularly vocal, and very easy to see at both the entrance to Thackabeck Nature Reserve at Bowerbank Way, and also in the Hawthorn Hedge next to the West Coast railway line.

Watch out this month for lots of young birds being fed by their parents, especially Sedge and Willow Warblers, both Blue and Great Tits, Blackbirds and Song Thrushes, the latter 2 species can often be seen feeding their offspring sat on the sandstone walls around the Thacka Lane railway bridge

An update from Staffield CC Paul Telford

L to R: Stuart Mills, of White Ox, Thom for the Fetherston Arms, Tony and Becky Borgogno, of the Crown Inn

In the April 1983 edition of the ‘Cumbria – Lake District Life’ there is an article, ‘Cricketers of Cumberland’, by Penrith cricket enthusiast John Hurst. Included in the article is a picture of players on our Old Showfield cricket ground at Kirkoswald – misrepresented by a mile or two in the label as ‘Village cricket in the heart of

EdenLocal

rural Cumbria, at Staffield in the Eden Valley’ – in days when the pavilion was a single wooden changing room. That ‘pavilion’ was replaced in 1989 by a bigger, more luxurious version built by Staffield Cricket Club players and supporters with self-funding and the kind of community spirit found in the sports clubs of many

The magazine that relies on doors for circulation not sales

Eden Valley villages. Community spirit is essential to village life, and sport has a vital contribution to make - giving people a reason to come together to meet, plan, organise, practice and play, and to socialise, respect and value one another. Sad, then, to see village cricket Clubs folding – in the Eden Valley League alone two last year and one so far in 2016 seemingly through lack of players and despite the best efforts of the club ‘stalwarts’. It’s heartening, on the other hand, to see community spirit in bucket-loads, with flood-hit Clubs like Appleby, Edenhall , Keswick and Carlisle pulling together determined to recover and keep going. Here at Staffield we’re fortunate to have had no such floods, but we’ve acknowledged the need to make cricket more accessible and

EdenLocal • 29

attractive to new players – particularly youngsters who have far more choice of entertainment than I ever had in ‘KO’. With insufficient youth for a full junior team we’ve instead put a mixed team into the mid-week Villages league, playing competitive but friendly 20-over cricket as a ‘feeder’ to the Saturday team and an option for people with weekend work commitments. We’ve fund-raised to install an all-weather wicket for mid-week games and better nets for easier to achieve practice sessions, and we’ve linked up with three long-time local sponsors – the Crown Inn, The Fetherston Arms and former player Stuart Mills of White Ox Independent Financial Advisers - to provide a range of subsidised playing and leisurewear to give the Club renewed identity.

We’re grateful to these and all our regular sponsors and fundraising supporters, without whom the fate of the Club would be uncertain. There is more work to do – and to all those others involved in village sport of any kind I say ‘come on – keep going – your community needs you and you need your community’.

Toyota HiLux Andrew Kidd gets re-acquainted with the double cab Icon...

“Hello darkness, my old friend, I’ve come to talk with you again”........

Evocative words by Simon and Garfunkel echo as I fire up the trusty 2.5 litre D-4D:

Rail as a Mobile Operations Manager. The work was hugely varied and could be challenging, particularly when faced with severe weather conditions and treacherous terrain in the pitchblack of night.

And yet the HiLux came through it all, becoming my old friend who’d look after me through thick and thin. Or through snowdrifts and floods! These memories came rushing back as I settled in to the familiar high driving position, the long gear stick close to hand. Despite the 5.26m length of the vehicle, the view over the bonnet is excellent and quickly gives confidence, as does the provision of a reversing camera.

Now, why would I wax lyrical about a Toyota HiLux? It might be to do with having

EdenLocal

driven upwards of 250,000 miles in a HiLux whilst working 12 hour shifts, day and night, for Network

The magazine that relies on doors for circulation not sales

Dashboard layout is clear and simple, with heating and ventilation controls (yes, there’s

EdenLocal • 31

air conditioning) close to hand.

Seats are firm, seemingly durable and providing good support. Rear seating capacity is for three, and there’s a generous amount of leg room back there.

Capacious accomodation in the ‘crew quarters’!

Whilst driving over several classes (and unclassified!) of roads, this HiLux seemed more smooth and certainly quieter than previous models. The test car was the ‘Icon’ model, with 17” alloys, side steps (very useful!), chrome rear bumper, heated electric mirrors, a Touch 2 audio system, rear camera monitor, Bluetooth,

leather steering wheel and more.

This is on top of some of the features that contribute to the high regard in which the HiLux is held; namely Vehicle Stability Control, Emergency Brake Assist, Auto Disconnect Differential, Rear Differential Lock (and that is definitely a great asset), and of course ABS. The HiLux trundles along motorways easily, with fifth (top) gear being good for around 30mph per 1,000 revs. The suspension has to cope with all manner of terrains and, so it may come as no surprise to learn that the motorway is not the natural habitat

of the HiLux. Progress on other classes of road can be swift, with the 144 bhp diesel providing 343 Nm/rpm of torque between just 1600 – 2800 rpm. Fuel consumption on the combined cycle is given as 38.7mpg.

With Toyota’s commercial vehicle warranty of 3 years/60,000 miles, and a long established reputation for toughness and reliability, I’d act now to secure this workhorse or get your order in now for the new HiLux, due out very soon..... .....Speak to Alan or Steven, 01768 864555.
