Latrigg KESWICK When the railway was built in 1864 to carry coke from Durham to Workington’s iron and steel works, it brought a new era of prosperity to the town. The grand railway station and its associated hotel, which you can see from here, marked the start of a major change in the layout, function and appearance of the town. Thus Keswick developed as a Victorian tourist resort, planned with a grid layout immediately to the east of the centre. In the 20th century, development has had limited impact on the town centre, but there have been significant post 1st and 2nd World War residential developments on the periphery of the town. If you wish to learn more about Keswick, ask at the information centre about the Civic Society’s guided walks and their self-guided tour booklet. 3 From the viewpoint, the top of Latrigg (368m) is reached by turning left up the path on the ridge.

    KMRT Rescues, 2008 'Alerts' are now included among the list of incidents - for general interest and as a result of a change in national reporting policy.

Fortunately they managed to find themselves as the team was departing. 2 walkers encountered the body of a man who had failed to return from his walk in the Windermere area the day before. Skiddaw - At the time of reporting this incident, it is not possible to say 2 5 January 11:23 Bakestall path how the man succumbed, but he must have experienced extreme weather conditions on the mountain the day before. We were called by the police to assist a female, whose partner had fallen off a crag while trying to rescue their dog from a precarious position. She had made her own way off the fell, in conditions of failing light, to raise the alarm. When speaking to her, she was unable to give us an accurate location for the incident. As a result, we spent all night searching the fells with no success. During the early 6 January 19:30 Honister area hours of the following day a find was made. We then preceded to set up belays and lower a team member and stretcher to the casualty, who, after treatment was airlifted to hospital by an RAF Sea King helicopter. His injuries were noted as cosmetic and the whole event happened to be caught on television cameras.

  • Wainwright's Central Fells
    Achille Ratti Long Walk - 22nd April 2017 – Wainwright’s Central Fells in a day by Natasha Fellowes and Chris Lloyd I know a lot of fell runners who are happy to get up at silly o'clock to go for a day out. I love a day out but I don't love the early get ups, so when Dave Makin told me it would be a 4am start this time for the annual Achille Ratti Long Walk, the idea took a bit of getting used to. The route he had planned was the Wainwright's Central Fells. There are 27 of them and he had estimated the distance at 40 ish miles, which also took some getting used to. A medium Long Walk and a short Long Walk had also been planned but I was keen to get the miles into my legs. So after an early night, a short sleep and a quick breakfast we set off prompt at 4am in cool dry conditions from Bishop’s Scale, our club hut in Langdale. Our first top, Loughrigg, involved a bit of a walk along the road but it passed quickly enough and we were on the top in just under an hour. The familiar tops of Silver Howe and Blea Rigg then came and went as the sun rose on the ridge that is our club's back garden. I wondered whether anyone else at the hut had got up yet. The morning then started to be more fun as we turned right and into new territory for me.
