On Saturday I worked the yearly Whitehaven Maritime Festival, I wrote up this blog on that day but due to there being so many people in town I couldn't get my phone to upload the blog, the network was jammed! It was a lovely summer day and the sun shone on us throughout the day. The boats in Whitehaven Harbour
Throughout the festival around 200'000 people are expected to flock into the small West Cumbrian town of Whitehaven with around 15'000 people on the harbour side. There seemed a lot more than this this year!
We were kept busy throughout the day seizing alcohol from people and making sure everyone had an enjoyable time. The festival was a complete no drinking zone so we had to take large amounts of alcohol from people who sometimes didn’t think it should have been taken!
The great and the good have been out and about with Catherine Jenkins performing on Friday night to a large ground and Ainslie Harriet giving cooking demonstrations to the on looking crowds on Saturday.
Unfortunately the day wasn't without its problems; there had been quite a bad assault the night before meaning some follow up enquires needed to be done.
Please remember when you are out and about at festivals have fun and look after yourselves. It is so easy to become a victim of crime so please don’t let this happen to you!

Thanks again for reading. Nick.
