Hello Slate nerds.
This route name has been bothering me for months, and I thought I'd better say something before the guide goes to press.
I've seen the name spelled in many different ways, but I think the correct spelling should be <i>Il Miglior Fabbro</i>, which is the phrase that TS Eliot used when dedicating <i>The Waste Land</i> to Ezra Pound (the phrase means "the better craftsman").
Obviously if it means something else, I'm going to look like a proper chimp.

T.S. ELLIOT WAS SHITE!!!! The Waste Land should be re-titled "Waste of Ink!" He was a sad, miserable doom and gloom merchant!! I wasted 8 weeks of my summer term in 6th form at school back in 1981 studying the boring ol' git!! (ZZZZZzzzzzzzzz!) Maybe you should re-name the route and choose a witty line from a Pam Eyres poem intead!! I'm sure she did a poem that featured a chimp once? anon. jim.
