no need to worry Bert, the place your looking for is called Utopia, don't
think you'll find it in Cumbria. You'll get close to it though, just
remember even small villages have their share of nutters.
In Cockermouth of a weekend all the youths from the outlying villages come
into town for a drink, can be a bit like the ok coral at times.
But there are more good Cumbrians than bad. Best of luck in your search for
a better life.

should have asked the local yokel. reminds me of a joke.
village idiot is sitting in the village square and a American tourist
approaches him (or her).holds out both hands, in one there's a pound coin
and in the other a fifty pence piece. Take your pick he (or she) says to the
village idiot who immediately picks the fifty pence.This happens several
times, so the tourist says to the idiot,why do you pick the fifty pence when
I'm holding a pound in the other hand. the idiot replied
you wouldn't come back if I took the pound.

trying to find a stone circle called Elva Plains. Not a sign anywhere but it
was deffinately on the map. OK!.
From Great Broughton we set off to find this mystery. Got to Embelton and
turned left up "The Close" coming out aside of Hyham Hall. Still no signs
with Elva Plain on em. Turned right, drove for a while, came to Dubwath then
landed in Embelton. Did a round trip trying to get back to Hyam Hall and
landed in Setmurthy. Still no signs leading to Elva Plain.Strifed Isle and
took photos of the church, landed in Dunthwaite, asked a local farmer if he
could help us find it. He'd lived there for 73 years and never heard of it.
Did another round trip to Hyam Hall searching for Elva Plain. It's right
there on the map but where is the road that leads to it. Another round trip
and by now, me with a migraine, sun shining on my side all the bl..dy time
nomatter which direction we took. and the weather scorching hot and too nice
to be in a car all day. No Elva Plain anywhere.
We ended up in the hotel resteraunt on Cockermouth Market Place and drownded
our sorrow with a big juicey steak served by Carlos and boy was it GOOD.
Hurm! Anyone know where Elva Plains is/are????????????that is, besides on
the map.

According to http://www.sypeland.freeserve.co.uk/site11.htm
Elva Plain
District: Cumbria (Cumberland)
Ordnance Survey map reference: NY 176317.
Landranger map number: 89.
Latitude: 54.405 degrees.
Longitude: -3.17 degrees.
Architecture: Outlier..
Length of the major axis: 34.4 metres.
Length of the minor axis: 34.4 metres.
Height of the highest stone: 0.25 metres.
Shape: Circle.
Number of stones in the circle originally: 20.
Number of stones in the circle now: 10.
Impression of the site (10 amazing, 1 limp): 3
Burl rating of the circle: 3 (Ruined but recognisable).
Thom reference for the circle: L1/2.
Astronomical alignments from this circle: -.
Excavations undertaken at this circle: -.
Details of any finds at this circle: -
This circle is not in state care.
Access to the circle:
The circle is reached after a short walk through a farmyard and is
found in a sloping field of short grass to the left of the path. The
stones can clearly be seen. It may be wise to seek permission from the
farm before visiting.
Description:
About ten boulderous stones lie partially buried in the ground and
protrude no more than about 0.3m. Only the south arc of the circle
remains but there are a few stones at the north. The site lies on farm
land with short cropped grass that at times may be grazed by cattle. A
fairly easy circle to reach but not very impressive and in quite a
ruinous state. It reminded me of the 'Coate' or 'Day House Lane'
circle in Wiltshire near Swindon. Originally an outlier stood to the
SW almost on the line of midwinter sunset. With a plethora of
excellent sites elsewhere in the Lake District to visit this is one
for the bottom of the visiting list.
The low lying stones of Elva Plain.

Sigh.Not really Ian. I'm just trying to figure out how you will keep warm in
the winter time up on those Cumbrian mountains under canvas.
I don't really fancy a walk at the moment. Thundering like mad out there and
my head is splitting. I'll just whip up some green soap suds instead.

Easy. I push a three season "mummy" -type sleep bag into a
conventional sleeping bag. With thermal top and joggers and
a woolly hat (essential sheep reference), I'm as cosy as a
pot of tea.

like the pub much but the village is nice. Some history too, e.g. birthplace
of John Dalton, originator of atomic theory ( father of modern chemistry? )

Wrong Dalton family. The ones that were killed in the Coffeyville bank raid
were descended from a French family D'Alton. For a brief family history see
http://www.ukans.edu/heritage/families/dalton.html
No connection with Tom Dooley, he lived and died around 30 years before the
Coffeyville raid.

I guess 'chicks' is OK then.
PS. I also have a chandelier I'd love to get rid of. Its hanging directly
over the dining room table slightly above eye level. My dearly beloved put
it up when I was away. Looks like it belongs in the Palace of Versailles
and when its lit up its like Blackpool illuminations. Totally out place.
Apart from which their was nothing wrong with the "modern" fixture that was
