Maryport: Still in the running!

Here's an update from Matt on Maryport:

So there is in fact a school nearby and it is actually pretty good. Also, I talked to someone who was actaully from Maryport and they did not think it was bad. It apparently has a strong Rugby reputation and they tend to fight each other (the rugby teams that is). Anyway, it appears the concerns are exaggerated local perceptions. Anyway it is still by far the nicest place and the pictures don't do it justice.

So, it looks like Maryport might still be possible. Especially in light of the place Matt looked at yesterday-- Yesterday's house is in the Whitehaven town center, but is currently occupied by (no joke) a rugby team. It's filthy. Like, seriously gross. I can't imagine bringing myself to sleep on the mattress after those guys vacate the premises [[shudder]]

Matt's mission for the weekend is to walk around Maryport and snap a few photos. I'll post back with an update soon.
