From: Jane Hodgson - jane.hodgson@physiobench.com We are an on-line physiotherapy practice (PhysioBench) enabling people to self manage their injury with expert physio guidance.

| 19th Feb 2009 | Greyhound Inn - Grizebeck From: pathways.walks@btinternet.com Hi, At the moment it is staffed almost entirely by volunteers, but we are starting to take on staff and offer employment locally. We are already offering a good selection of real ales and will develop the menu as soon as practicable. (At the moment it consists of pub food such as steak and ale pie, Cumberland sausage, gammon etc) One of our aims is to attract walkers and cyclists. We have started monthly walks from the pub, with coffee and pastries beforehand and bacon baps etc afterwards. We hope soon to be open all day at the weekend and offer good quality tea and coffee and cakes, scones etc. The Broughton cyclists have already been in and arranged a lunch one Sunday after their ride. Black Combe Runners are using it as a base for evening runs. We would love to see more cyclists using the Greyhound. It is an ideal place for riders from Ulverston and Barrow to meet before setting off up Woodland, the Duddon, Eskdale etc. The Greyhound is also the finish of the Greyhound Challenge sponsored bike ride (£2000 last year for North West Air Ambulance) from Shap. We really want to keep the Greyhound open, and your support will help. You can contact me on 01229 889400 or on 07801 350179 if you want to find out more or arrange for a group of you to call for lunch or afternoon tea. I hope we will see some of you here.
