The Cumbria Way, stretching 70 miles between Ulverston and Carlisle, passes through some of the most beautiful scenery in the north west. Devised by enthusiasts shortly after the county's creation in the mid-70s, it is still one of the lesser-known long-distance foothpaths.
Colin Philpott took a week out to walk it encountering a lot of Cumbrian characters on the way.
