It could be done by trenching. Google makes it about 5.4 miles minimum across the National Park on the existing route 👇. A possible alternative route across the National Park via Tebay and west of the Lune Gorge is about 4.7 miles.

The alternative, at least two trenches of this 👇 width dug across the upland soils and blasted through the rock of the national park for up to 9km, for cables needing to be dug up and replaced maybe every 40-60 years, (photo Charlotte Webb 👏/National Grid)

There are two other very similar sketches dated 1806 of the road and Dove Cottage online, both from the same viewpoint but with small differences, one attributed to Dora Wordsworth at www.meisterdrucke.uk/fine-art-pri... and the other attributed to Amos Green www.meisterdrucke.uk/fine-art-pri...

Yes eventually, loss of Torness in 2030 should create a GW of capacity, but with suggested Earliest In Service Dates EISD 👇 of new onshore routes across B6 at 2036 or later, its going to seem a long wait . . . unless they are brought forward. Table 1. from p. 13 at www.ofgem.gov.uk/sites/defaul...

Glad to hear you got out, Merry Christmas Tom. Have become sensitive to cold last 20yrs of my 34yr ME/CFS, and had cold exposure asthma chest pain for weeks after being in below 12C or 20C in strong wind. My Vapro Airtrim mask heats air breathed in by +20C by breath out, keeps face and body warm.

Not bad methinks having not worked in transmission, to have worked out where you were just from that diagram and open source info the same day before you went 😉 , I like technical puzzles, much better than the jigsaw type.
