Ferry pay machine problems: Staff will help drivers, county says

For the rest of the summer season, crew on the Windermere Ferry will help passengers use the onshore machines, which accept card payments as well as cash.
People who've been delayed can also now buy tickets for cash as they board the boat.
Fire crews evacuated a small number of properties in Bootle and a number of roads were affected including the A595, which was closed for a time at Duddon Bridge, and the A592 down the east side of Windermere.

The Iggesund paper mill at Workington and The Farmer's Network are hosting a series of farm visits to show the advantages of growing willow as a cash crop.
Terry Dixon from Braithwaite is already part of the scheme that supplies willow to power the Iggesund plant and planted 70 acres.
He said: "We've planted it on land that isn't really suitable for anything else and hopefully we can sit back and watch it grow. It'll take three years before we get a harvest."

The affected road was part of a section closed for months for repairs after the floods of last winter swept part of it away and caused landslides blocking the route in several places.
In a statement the council said loose stone was washed down the slope above the road, blocking the culverts which run underneath, and teams had been sent to deal with the problem.

The country was closed off during the Soviet era, but it's now allowing people to visit never-before-climbed mountains.
Adrian says the excitement of a previously unclimbed peak is more rewarding than attempting bigger and better-known mountains.
He said: "You're standing on a summit that no one has stood on before, you've taken three, four maybe five days to get to that summit."
Cumbria's weather: Skies should brighten
The last of the rain should die out and skies should gradually brighten as the afternoon progresses. It will feel rather humid this afternoon. Temperatures should reach 20C (68F).

The A595 is still affected by flooding in the Duddon bridge area and Askam. The A592 between Bowness and Newby Bridge is also affected by flooding and needs care.
