“Catastrophic” cost of Coronavirus for tourism industry could hit £1.45bn by the end of next month A new survey by Cumbria Tourism has found that by the end of next month, the Coronavirus pandemic will have cost the county’s tourism industry £1.45bn in revenue – almost half of tourism-related income for the county for the year.

Explaining ourselves: Mr Wemyss: A good walk, unspoilt
As ever, I suggest you read the introductory post to this series, for background.
And, as always, as Chris Ramsey notes, Never, Ever Read the Comments on any links. People Are Barking Mad. Utter Psychotics.
I apologise for the delay. (I hate funerals.) I shall accordingly post this now for the week, rather than at the customary tea-time tomorrow.
This week, the North.
We begin with three approaches – literally – in the elegant and erudite and eminently civilised company of Alec Clifton-Taylor:
In Richmond;
In Beverley;
and in Whitby.
The sense of locality; the continuities of community and history....
These being our themes, a walk, a ground-level survey of what makes the North, the North, is indicated. And that, of course, means Alfred Wainwright: the great AW: here, in four parts, with Eric Robson, doing the Coast to Coast.
We begin at S Bee’s Head.
Then, onwards, from Shap Abbey.
Thence, from Gunnerside, ever Eastwards.
And so at last to Robin Hood’s Bay, near to Whitby.
Thus the land the folk have shaped, and which has shaped the people.
Next week … well, that would be telling.
