The Artfest in Maryport (when Percy met Norman) at the end of September is also coming to fruition.The Maryporters are working like crazy to make it a success. The Maryport Art trail on Friday 28th has been fully booked  for some time so they have persuaded me to fit another in on Saturday 29th @ 12.30. (ring/e mail Jan 07814677452 email@example.com to secure a place.)  I am pleased to tell you that after I discovered problems with part of the trail the council have been out in force with strimmers and loppers making the route safe from overhanging branches and uneven paths. The problem of the super-efficient flood gates is still under discussion but I am hopeful that a solution will be found very soon. The gates are vital in stormy weather and high tides but they are now permanently closed and make the public footpath impassable. It is popular with dog walkers and has spectacular views and it’s not possible to climb over them (several of us have tried!). The alternative route means back-tracking up the steep hill and a long diversion back to the Maritime Museum by the harbour where the admission fee is being waived for those on the accompanied trail.
