Selling Furness to the Eskimos

Furness and Cartmel residents may soon be rubbing noses with Eskimo tourists in search of a new and unusual holiday destination. Ph.D. student Paul Johnson , who is studying glaciology in West Greenland, has distributed leaflets from Furness and Cartmel Tourism in the country's airports.

Tourist group manager Tim Rogers said: "We are pleased when local people offer to take our leaflets to distribute while on holiday, and particularly when they are travelling to more unusual destinations."

"You never know, the Eskimos may come over!"

When and if they do arrive, they will be thrilled at the top 22 attractions listed in the tourism group's leaflets. They include the Laurel and Hardy Museum in Ulverston, the Barrow Dock Museum, the South Lakes Wild Animal Park, the La'al Ratty miniature Ravenglass to Eskdale railway, and the Campbell Legend collection.
