The cabinets, lights and other items come from the Low Wood Bay Resort, where the hotel is closing for the first time since the 1970s so it can have £16m of refurbishment work done. 

It's being given to CERT (UK), or the Eden Flood volunteers.

It'll remain mostly cloudy overnight with hill fog. There will still be some further outbreaks of rain or drizzle with temperatures falling to 6C (43F).

Ged Knight says the firm currently makes 600,000 sq m a year, and now hopes to reach 1m sq m

The circular cairn, held together with cement, with a steel plaque on top, was found damaged by Nic Page, a regular visitor to the summit, three days ago.  The plaque lay a few yards away.

The viewfinder, which names the peaks that can be seen from the 3,054ft (931m) summit, was placed there in the Jubilee year of 1977.

"I was furious, absolutely fuming," said Nic.  And Gordie Oliver, whose father Des, a retired Lake District National Park ranger, oversaw the monument's construction, said that if no one else repaired it, he would.

Barrow have made their second signing in as many days with the addition of midfielder Dan Rowe from Wycombe on loan until the end of the season.

The 21-year-old, who can also play in defence, had a previous loan spell with Barrow when he made three appearances between February and April 2016.

Rowe had loan spells at Wycombe in 2014 and 2015, before joining permanently from Rotherham in June 2015.

His signing comes a day after the addition of Wolves keeper Jon Flatt.

Owner Paul Casson says he shares the excitement: "There seems to be a lot to do before tomorrow, I don't think there's going to be too much sleep that anybody's going to get between now and tomorrow, but I guess we can sleep afterwards, no matter what happens."

And chief executive Austin Straker says there'll be long-term benefits:

The power company National Grid says burying power lines rather than erecting controversial pylons on the border of the Lake District national park could make electricity more expensive.

The company's been consulting the public on how to take power generated at the planned new Moorside nuclear station near Sellafield, to Lancashire for onward transmission.

The proposals would mean the line going underground through an area of the Lake District National Park, and beneath Morecambe Bay, but on large pylons across the top of the Duddon estuary, which has roused local opposition.

Jeanette Unsworth from National Grid says running the whole distance undergound would cost far more: "Ultimately the cost of our project is going to be borne by every single electricity bill payer in the country and that's why we have to think carefully about how we spend their money."

The Holker Street ground has been put under wraps to protect the turf and make sure the match goes ahead, with a sell-out crowd of 4,400 promising the biggest gate since 1990.

The last time the Bluebirds hosted a third-round match was in 1968, only to concede defeat.   

Facing Rochdale means Barrow haven't drawn a giant-killing payday, but have a better chance of going through to a history-making fourth round.

Barrow Sixth Form College, which merged last year with Furness College because of financial problems, enjoyed its best exam results in its final months.

The college had a 99.1% pass rate at A level, with 50% achieving A*, A or B grades.
