Spend a penny for toilet charity
11:51am Tuesday 13th May 2008
A FUNDRAISER who is travelling the length of Britain in aid of the World Toilet Organisation will be hoping South Lakeland's public spend more than a penny when she passes through the district on Saturday (May 17).
Frances Lee, from Leeds, is visiting public lavatories between Land's End and John O Groats, and is due to arrive in Sedbergh, where she will be holding a collection outside the Main Street conveniences from 11am-12pm.
Ms Lee said she had been moved to stage the event after learning 42 per cent of the world's population was without access to a toilet.
She said money raised from her journey, which is taking place during the United Nations International Year of Sanitation, would help the WTO provide sanitation to those without.

Winter woodlands
This winter walk takes you through fine deciduous woodland in the valley of the River Calder, onto slopes above the hurrying river. Near Thornholme, an isolated farmhouse, you cross by footbridges, first the river and then a beck, Worm Gill.
