Borrowdale Valley at Grange, Cumbria
The tranquil Borrowdale Valley…. or at least it is tranquil now. But many a miner has trudged this track. His daily journey to and from the Graphite and Slate Mines at the head of the valley. No doubt many a fully laden wagon, pulled by a weary horse, will also have plodded the trail. Today it is the province of hikers and tourists…. they at least can pause to gaze and enjoy the surroundings
I imagine many of us have paused and pondered on our own surrounds in these strange times.
As you ponder……
Please Remember ….
Stay Safe …. Be Kind…. Look After Each Other

Looks an interesting place, I don’t know that miner’s track, but knew some in North Wales

When you reflect on the harsh working conditions and the long days…. the trek to and from work, whatever the weather, must have been tough.
