I remember something related on my walk from the Broads to the Lakes coming out of Bridlington - from my journal:<br /><br />29th June 2010<br />"Coming out of Bridlington toward the cliffs there is a line of seats along the path all with sea views. This line of seats extends for perhaps half a mile with seats at twenty foot intervals. All the seats are dedicated to loved ones who have passed away many with maudlin statements. I don't know how this is arranged but I found it a bit depressing."Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-68820952083120918462021-11-30T13:22:17.114+00:002021-11-30T13:22:17.114+00:00I was surprised to see these memorial tablets in s...I was surprised to see these memorial tablets in such a spot - not by people scattering ashes there, but that they feel they have the right to lay claim, as it were, to the area and turn it into a virtual cemetery. <br />Park seats, or trees in a public place, etc., maybe, but not in a wild and open place - where next - Ben Nevis - Scafell ? <br />Exceptionally, occasional memorials, for example the FRCC one on Great Gable and similar general 'public' tributes may be 'fine', but private ones - no.<br /> Maybe even where someone 'fell' (literally or metaphorically) but not a private appropriation of the area and inevitable intrusion into the quiet personal and intimate thoughts of unknown others who visit and value the space and solitude of such places.<br />We all know that Wainwrights ashes were scattered near Innominate tarn, but no mark has been left to intrude on the personal experiences of others.<br />Otherwise, adopt the Wren's epitaph's approach !gimmernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-49332865045839050692021-11-28T12:01:19.921+00:002021-11-28T12:01:19.921+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.afootinthehillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06670636358354420373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-14829985114117548982021-11-26T16:43:45.015+00:002021-11-26T16:43:45.015+00:00BC - Here is the link:

The Mac version of Memory Map has poor reviews so I do not see that as an option but I would dearly love to say goodbye to Windows 10.Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-56376164380065479092021-11-25T18:35:03.943+00:002021-11-25T18:35:03.943+00:00Nice day out and the weather looks ok too.
