The Radio 1 Big Weekend will be taking place this weekend at Carlisle Airport.
Can we remind patients travelling to our sports injury clinic at Warwick Bridge, that the routes along the A69 and A689 are likely to be busy.For those of us living and working in the area, the whirring of helicopter blades, pitching of the big tents and rigging of the stages, are a hint at things to come.
Lady Gaga, the Foo Fighters and the other performers will no doubt be arriving imminently along with thousands of eager spectators.
All people visiting our historic border city of Carlisle for the Radio 1 Big Weekend will be very welcome, but we remind you that you are coming to Cumbria.
Yesterday was 11 degrees, today is persisting down and with showers forecast for the weekend, jumpers, waterproofs and wellies may be the order of the day.
As one of my colleagues pointed out a few weeks ago, this is Carlisle’s own Glastonbury and it looks as though it may be just as muddy!
