Over the years, shoe companies have come and gone, all trying to copy the Walsh way of making shoes. They have all failed to reach the high standards that Walsh have attained. Together we will continue to improve the quality and service of both companies over the years to come.

  • My 214 Story Name: Christopher Taylor Membership Number: 3812 First Fell Climbed
    My 214 Story Name: Christopher Taylor Membership number: 3812 First fell climbed: Coniston Old Man, 6 April 2003 Last fell climbed: Great End, 14 October 2019 I was a bit of a late-comer to the Lakes. My first visit was with my family when I was 15. We rented a cottage in Grange for a week at Easter. Despite my parents’ ambitious attempts to cajole my sister Cath and me up Scafell Pike and Helvellyn, the weather turned us back each time. I remember reaching Sty Head and the wind being so strong my Mum was blown over. My sister, 18 at the time, eventually just sat down in the middle of marshy ground somewhere below the Langdale Pikes and refused to walk any further. I didn’t return then until I was 28. It was my Dad’s 60th and we took a cottage in Coniston in April 2003. The Old Man of Coniston became my first summit, and I also managed to get up Helvellyn via Striding Edge with Cath and my brother-in-law Dave. Clambering along the edge and up on to the still snow-capped summit was thrilling. A love of the Lakes, and in particular reaching and walking on high ground, was finally born. Visits to the Lakes became more regular after that, but often only for a week a year as work and other commitments limited opportunities. A number of favourites established themselves: the Langdale Pikes; Lingmoor Fell; Catbells and Wansfell among them. I gradually became more ambitious in the peaks I was willing to take on.

  • 2019 ALPINE-ALPINE TOUR CLASSIC CAR TOURS (MK) Will Be
    2019 ALPINE-ALPINE TOUR CLASSIC CAR TOURS (MK) will be organising a circular tour of the French Alps in September 2019. As an SAOC member myself I would like to invite the club to participate. I will be able to offer a preferential rate for SAOC Members. We have organised several tours in similar areas in the past so have driven most of the roads and stayed in many of the hotels. However, as Eric Morecambe would have said; “We have driven all the right roads, but maybe not in the right order”, therefore we will be visiting the area this summer and driving the roads ‘in the right order’ to iron out any potential problems and re-visit the hotels to ensure they are upto standard. We tend to use 4 star hotels where possible but in more remote areas it may be a case of taking what is available. The planned itinerary is below but is subject to amendment after our summer recce. The exact dates may also be subject to the availability of the hotels. The mileage each day will be between 150 and 200 miles on all types of road. There will be numerous mountain passes with steep climbs and hairpin bends. On the days where there are lots of passes, the mileage will be less, but on days where major roads are used and we need just to get from A to B, the mileage may slightly exceed 200. This is purely a tour so there will be no fixed time schedule, participants are free to drive at there own pace.

You need to make your own judgement about the likely quality of any climb in its current condition and act on your judgement.

This is an excellent viewpoint over Derwentwater and Borrowdale. It is a volcanic plug made of dolerite, not the Borrowdale volcanic series more usual of the area.

  • THE PARISH of CHIPPING DURING the SEVENTEENTH CENTURY Christine Ironfield, B.A., M.A. the Parish of Chipping Is Situated in Lanc
    THE PARISH OF CHIPPING DURING THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY Christine Ironfield, B.A., M.A. H E parish of Chipping is situated in Lancashire, about ten miles to the north-east of Preston. It is an area still very rural Tin character with pastoral farming the main economic activity. The parish consists of the two townships of Chipping and Thorn- ley. The main settlement is the village of Chipping and there are also the small hamlets of Wheatley and Bradley and numerous scattered farmsteads. The landscape of the area is one of hills and valleys with the parish itself lying between Longridge Fell to the south and Par lick and Saddle Fell to the north. The northern boundary of the parish at Fairsnape Fell reaches the height of 1707 feet and the highest point of the southern boundary which runs along Long­ ridge Fell, attains the height of 1,100 feet. On the hills the soils tend to be thin and rather acidy and this, together with the short growing season, make these fell land areas more suited to grazing than to crop production. It is in the valley, where a capping of boulder clay does produce relatively more fertile land, that some crop growing is possible but the land is still more suited to grass. The parish of Chipping at the time of Domesday was a wooded area and in about 1350 the inhabitants were referred to as being, ‘few, untractable and wild,’ the place being described as, ‘in a manner inaccesible to man’.1 As occurred in many other forested areas in the country, the woodland was gradually cleared and by the 17 th century this process had been completed in the parish of Chipping.
