Small Earthquake in Lakeland – No Casualties Reported

Ulverston was the epicentre of an earthquake at 11.22 am on Tuesday, measuring 3.7 on the Richter Scale. Rumours that this was caused when I jumped for joy on Kentmere Pike, having completed fell number 200, are completely unfounded, as I didn’t reach the summit until about 3 pm. However, one of Mike’s Scotch Eggs fell out of his rucksack and rolled down the side of Froswick at about this time, and could well have started the whole thing off when it reached the bottom.
