For casual records please use our website “Sightings” page where possible. Click on sightings report on: www.cumbria-butterflies.org.uk/sightings/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- We’d welcome surveys in any of the squares listed below, but are particularly interested in those marked * and +, ie where there have been recent positive sightings well away from known colonies or discovery of possible new colonies. The areas to be surveyed fall into 3 groups, in colour below, but also suffixed (1), (2) or (3) for those with black & white printers etc. 1. Grid squares that have previous positive sightings (shown in red) (1) 2. Grid squares adjacent to the above (shown in blue) (2) 3. Grid squares that are previously unrecorded but may have potential to hold Mountain Ringlet populations (shown in green) (3) The objective of these surveys is to try to determine the geographical spread of some known colonies, but also to survey areas that have suitable geology and which may hold previously unrecorded Mountain Ringlet populations. All the 1-km grid squares listed below lie in the 100-km square: NY AREA 1 - LANGDALE 2608 Martcrag Moor / Stake Pass (2) 2607 (north-east corner only) Part of Martcrag Moor (2) 2806 (northern edge) Raven Crag (1) 2807 Harrison Stickle (1) 2710 (eastern half only)

  • Chapter Three
    Chapter Three In 1906 Canon Rawnsley wrote a book entitled Months of the Lakes, which featured a chapter about Mardale and the hunt. Rawnsley didn’t’ like hunting but the following passage suggests either he actually went or interviewed someone who did, The following text is copied from the original. THE MARDALE SHEPHERDS' MEETING. There lies to the east of the great High Street range a little water flood the Roman soldiers looked on with delight, for it called them back to their own lakeland hills, but they looked on it too with awe, for its waters seemed as black as the Stygian lake they feared. Ages before the Romans ran their high street, this lake was cared for by the shepherd children of Neolithic times. Their camps, their burial grounds, their standing stones are with us on the fell sides that slope to this lake which we call Haweswater to-day. The Vikings gave it that name, for it means the Halse Water or Neck-Water, and the neck is the promontory that the Messand beck in lapse of centuries has made, that runs out from the north-west shore towards the Naddle forest, and so nearly divides the lake in two, that one end is called Low Water and the other High Water. An aerial view of the old lakes of Haweswater, notice the narrowing between high and low water, called the straits, the new road scar can be seen on the far side of the valley. One can get to the lake from Penrith up the Lowther valley or from Shap and Bampton, and when one has reached it one cannot linger by the shore if the sun is westering, for there is no house of call nearer than the Dun Bull, and this is a mile beyond Haweswater, beneath the Nan Bield Pass.

  • 'Like' England's Loveliest Lake in 2012 and You Won't Be Disappointed
    Ullswater ‘Steamers’ Press Pack 2012 December 7, 2011 ‘Like’ England’s Loveliest Lake In 2012 – With The Help Of Ullswater ‘Steamers’ ‘Like’ England’s loveliest lake in 2012 and you won’t be disappointed, whether you are a fan of scenery, heritage, wildlife or outdoor activities, a bit of a speed merchant or a lover of myths and legends. Ullswater, second only in size in England to Windermere, is a lake with its own vibe – serene and relaxed, but with an undercurrent of mystery and twists of suspense emanating from its unique past and the geology that shaped the landscape in which it regally sits. Bringing all facets of the lake to life is Ullswater ‘Steamers’, the only cruise company to operate services on the lake and with a heritage stretching back over 150 years. In 2012, Ullswater ‘Steamers’ will be celebrating the 135th birthday of its vessel Lady of the Lake. This regal old lady was first launched on June 26, 1877, the same year Queen Victoria was pronounced Empress of India, and is thought to be the oldest working passenger vessel in the world. 2012 is a special year for Ullswater, therefore the ‘Steamers’ have put together a vibrant calendar of events to help you celebrate in style! The five ladies-in-waiting preparing to make 2012 a gem for visitors to Ullswater will be: Lady of the Lake, Raven, Lady Dorothy, Lady Wakefield and the newest addition to the fleet, Western Belle, who enjoyed her first season in 2011. Also making ripples in 2012 are some new and not-to-be-missed experiences: o Spring Watch & Lambing Weekend – April 21 and 22.

  • Newsieblack Combe Runners
    NewsieBlack Combe Runners December 2012: the round up issue Captain Pete’s Final Wave Once more the club has gone from strength to strength over the last year. We’ve had mass participation in races with 31 and Dunneredale and 22 at Kirkby, and we’ve been winning races with records set in the process (thanks to Lizzie and Anna). The club has won a few races as a team as well, ladies at Ulverston, men at Middlefell and Caw and a mixed team at Kirkby. Our 3 relay teams in the UK relay all achieved their highest ever placings (the open team was 36th) and with two teams in the Ian Hodgson our first team hit the top 20. We’ve had quite a few new members this year, particularly a larger number of younger people so the next few years of the club seem pretty assured. Remembering some of our recently departed friends, Pete’s well researched John Peel Trail was a great day out for the summer challenge and has since been featured in the Long Distance Walkers magazine. We also had a local winner of the inaugral Bob Grieve Trophy, for the lowest combined time across all four of our club races, Mike McI winning the mens class with Wendy Dodds taking the womens. So we’re all set for an even more successful 2013, starting with more competition in the winter league races, no noubt leading to more fun throughout. See you at Po House. Lizzie shows Ian Holmes how to ascend. AGM - 29th Jan, Kepplewray The usual pie and peas AGM will take place on the 29th January 2013, 7.30pm at Kepplewray, with a short run beforehand from 6.30pm.
