Driveway to Gibshill Farm A post box stands by the road, on the way up to the  Roweltown Post Office. In view of the number of small branch post office closures, it is lucky indeed that this remote corner of Cumbria retains such a facility. Only open on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Road under threat near Black Lyne Bridge The road climbs steeply up the spur between the Black Lyne and its tributary the Malls Burn. A landslip on the slope above the Malls Burn has been netted, hopefully to stop further erosion.
