To enable this comparison the figures have been calculated using standardised running conditions (heating periods, room temperatures, etc.) that are the same for all homes, consequently they are unlikely to match an occupier's actual fuel bills and carbon emissions in practice. The figures do not include the impacts of the fuels used for cooking or running appliances, such as TV, fridge etc.; nor do they reflect the costs associated with service, maintenance or safety inspections. Always check the certificate date because fuel prices can change over time and energy saving recommendations will evolve. To see how this home can achieve its potential rating please see the recommended measures. Remember to look for the energy saving recommended logo when buying energy-efficient products. It’s a quick and easy way to identify the most energy-efficient products on the market. This EPC and recommendations report may be given to the Energy Saving Trust to provide you with information on improving your dwelling’s energy performance.

  • A Day in the Life of a Fix the Fells Lengthsman
    Editor’s note: Society member Rick Toyer is a volunteer for Fix the Fells, the Society’s main beneficiary in 2017. After reaching the top of the path at Levers Funds raised that year were earmarked to repair the badly-eroded path at Long Stile, High Street. That work is Hause, we take the decision to retrace our steps due to be completed later this year and Rick will write about that project after its completion. Meanwhile, I asked back down the path to get off the fell. Exiting if he would write about a typical day when he volunteers as a lengthsman, spending many hours in all weathers to via the Old Man would be more difficult in the repair and maintain footpaths on the fells. Lengthsman is a centuries-old name for a person who was responsible current conditions, with the fells shrouded in for maintaining a length of road. cloud. On the way down, we check the drains again to make sure they are taking the water off the path as desired. Only then, with our job done, do we stop by the path to eat our bait A Day in the Life of a before pushing off for the final walk through the boulder field to arrive back at the car, Fix the Fells Lengthsman thoroughly wet through. Today was one of those days when, whatever we had worn, we knew we were going to get soaked to the skin. On arrival at the Walna Scar car park, it is obvious that today is going to be a typical Lakeland day with the cloud down and persistent rain, which warrants the donning of full waterproofs.

  • The Geology and Petrology of the Ennerdale
    THE GEOLOGY AND PETROLOGY OF THE ENNERDALE GRANOPHYRE. ITS__ METAMORPHIC AUREOLE __AND ASSOCIATED MINERALIZATION A Thesis presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Lewis Clark. Department of Geology, The University of Leeds. June, 1963. a b s t r a c t The E n n e r d a l e G r a n o p h y r e occurs in the Latte District between Buttermere and Wasdale. It is a stocK shaped, composite intrusion which was emplaced at the close of the Caledonian earth movements. The country rocks of the granophyre are the Borrowdale Volcanic Series and the Skiddaw Slates. The oldest rocks in the Ennerdale Granophyre are a series of dioritic rocks which have been largely metasomatised by the later granophyre magma into a series of granodioritic hybrids. Eighty percent of the outcrop of the Ennerdale Granophyre is occupied by a fine grained granophyre, the Main Granophyre. The youngest rocks associated with the granophyre: are a series of fine aplitic microgranites and rhyolitic felsites. Metamorphism by the granophyre has been very slight. The main changes in the Skiddaw Slates are a change in colour and an increase in hardness, but the slates in places in Ennerda.le have been soda—metasomatised. Macroscopic changes in the Berrowdale /olcanic Series are negligible, but there have been important mineralogicalL changes within a narrow aureole adjacent to the granophyre. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This research was made possible by the award of a D.S.I.R. Research Studentship. I am extremely grateful to the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research and Professor W.

  • Awesome!!! (Or a Long Day of Running, Walking, and Swimming a Bit)
    Awesome!!! (or a long day of running, walking, and swimming a bit) I can't quite remember how I found out about the Frog. Probably a Facebook post or something similar. The thing that immediately grabbed me was all of it. The route. The idea. The ethos. The idea of being self sufficient on a full day out in the hills and lakes, with only yourself to sort things out. A loosely planned round during 2016 came to naught, and with little else planned for this year, a Frog seemed the obvious thing to pass some time. I have never gone in for much of forward planning or looking for best routes. Part of the enjoyment for me is trying something new and maintaining a sense of anticipation. Just have a go and see what happens. One of my favourite sayings is 'what is the worst that can happen', eloquently answered by someone I met last year who was recycling the Frog last year with a simple answer - 'Death'. Hopefully things wouldn't get that bad! Actually, going for the round was really only a proper thought three or four days before I went... Setting off from the Moot Hall at 3.20am was different. I don't think many of those still up had seen a man dressed in a wet-suit and rucksack running up the main street! I was almost disappointed to not get any funny comments! Skiddaw was the same as always. Big, steep, and windy and cloudy on the top (can't remember being up there when it's been clear!), but otherwise uneventful.

  • Cooper and Hughes Eycott Volcanic Group Geomag Discussion
    Discussion on evidence for an unconformity at the base of the Eycott Volcanic Group in the English Lake District. Please note that this is a manuscript copy recompiled from archived files for the NERC Open Research Archive (NORA); it may differ from the published version. The full discussion includes comments from other authors including N.J. Soper that are not included here. This is a partial section of the discussion and reference should be made to the full published discussion in the Geological Magazine, Vol. 130 (2), 1993 pp. 271-273 especially if the article is to be quoted or referenced. Dr Anthony Cooper 26 th March 2014. A.H. Cooper and R.A. Hughes comment: Millward & Molyneux (1992) have presented convincing evidence for the existence of a major unconformity between the Eycott Volcanic Group and the underlying Skiddaw Group. We agree with their conclusion that the new interpretation re-opens the debate about a pre-volcanic phase of deformation in the Ordovician of the English Lake District. The continuing British Geological Survey mapping programme has provided further evidence that there was such a phase. Its nature and products are crucial to the understanding of the deformation history of the Lake District Lower Palaeozoic inlier, particularly with respect to the structural complexity of the Skiddaw Group. The uplift, tilting and erosion of the Skiddaw Group prior to the eruption of the Eycott and Borrowdale Volcanic Groups were considerable. These effects reflect the change from deep water, volcanically passive, ocean margin sedimentation to subaerial, subduction-related continental margin volcanism, as demonstrated by Millward & Molyneux, but need not necessarily represent basin inversion.

  • Lake District Wainwright Bagging Holiday – the North-Western Fells
    Lake District Wainwright Bagging Holiday – the North-Western Fells Tour Style: Challenge Walks Destinations: Lake District & England Trip code: DBWBM Trip Walking Grade: 6 HOLIDAY OVERVIEW Wainwright bagging, perfect when you want to release your inner explorer! Alfred Wainwright’s Pictorial Guides have provided the inspiration for many a fell walker, with over two million copies of the books selling since their publication. There are 214 fells described within his books and this holiday takes in all of the fells he enthuses about in his North-Western Fells pictorial guide, in one fabulous, challenging holiday. Wainwright included 28 fells in his North West collection and they are all easily accessible from our country house on the edge of Derwent Water. 7 sit just west of Bassenthwaite Lake and the rest west and south west of Derwent Water. Good, high fell walks with some classics which will move any Wainwright bagger significantly towards the magic total of 214 and, for the rest of us, simply a brilliant set of mountain walks!
