Another hello from Cumbria - the northwest of.

Eh?
Gilsland isn't in the northwest of Cumbriashire.
How would you describe it?

Northeast.  A map may help with this.

A little courtesy would be at least as useful as a map in my opinion.

Cheeky monkey!   :D

I always think of it as northwest because we're really not far from the sea, and there's a lot of Cumbria east of our longitude.  But yes the Northumberland border runs through Gilsland so I could describe myself as being in northeast Cumbria equally, if not more, accurately.

Lurch, I looked in vain for your introductory posting - whereabouts are you?

Hello and welcome to the Lake District!
Don't care where Gilsland is, or others thinks it is, it's a beautiful part of the UK............................!
When we lived in Lancaster, before moving to Cornwall, we spent many a weekend and evening walking in the Lake District. Our daughter went to uni in Ambleside, extending our rambling even further................, sigh..........happy memories..........

It is beautiful and we are very lucky to live in a lovely village near Windermere. Bonus today as it's not raining - well not yet anyway ;D

Hi from Shropshire, and greetings. Sometimes our similar names may cause confusion, I notice that Rusty thinks that you are me already. Hey Ho. I am sure we will muddle through.  Best Wishes and welcome.
