More Muscle than Brain

At the top of Hampsfell (220m), Cartmel, Cumbria, is a tower/viewing point/shelter, (marked as a 'Hospice' on the map) built by one of the previous owning families of Cartmel Priory.

The following notice is inside:

TAKE NOTICE

"All persons visiting this hospice by the permission of the owner, are requested to respect private property, and not by wanton acts of mischief and destruction show that they possess more muscle than brain. I have no hope that this request will be attended to for as Solomon says "Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among the wheat with a pestle yet will not his foolishness depart from him"

G. Remington
