  • List of Illustrations from Chapter 4, Natural History of Upper Weardale, Geomorphology and Glacial Legacy
    List of Illustrations from Chapter 4, Natural History of Upper Weardale, Geomorphology and glacial legacy. by David J A Evans This document provides a larger version of the illustrations for Chapter 4 of the Natural History of Upper Weardale, Geomorphology and Glacial Legacy. By providing this in a PDF format it should be possible to enlarge to some extent and gain a clearer insight. Figure 1: Northern England contour colour coded digital elevation model (DEM) derived from NEXTMap imagery (courtesy of NERC via the Earth Observation Data Centre). The main physiographic areas are highlighted and include the streamlined (drumlin filled) corridors created by fast ice stream flow during glaciations. The fluvial drainage pattern and largely V-shaped valley cross profiles of the North Pennines (Alston Block) are also prominent. (a) (b) Figure 2: Previous reconstructions of the glaciation of the North Pennines: a) the valley-confined style of glaciation of the north Pennines produced by Dwerryhouse (1902). The Stainmore Gap and Tyne Gap ice streams drain the regional, Scottish-nourished ice eastwards and the North Pennines are characterized by the Teesdale, South Tyne and Weardale glaciers. Note the prominent ice-dammed lakes that are depicted along the south edge of Tyne Gap ice but also smaller examples along the margins of the Teesdale and Weardale glaciers; b) a similar depiction of the regional ice by Raistrick and Blackburn (1931), showing what they regarded as a later stage of ice sheet recession.

  • Durham Rare Plant Register 2013 Covering VC66 and the Teesdale Part of VC65
    Durham Rare Plant Register 2013 Covering VC66 and the Teesdale part of VC65 JOHN L. DURKIN MSc. MCIEEM BSBI Recorder for County Durham 25 May Avenue. Winlaton Mill, Blaydon, NE21 6SF [email protected] www.durhamnature.co.uk Contents Introduction to the rare plants register Notes on plant distribution and protection The individual species accounts in alphabetical order Site Index First published 2010. This is the 2013, third edition. Improvements in this edition include- An additional 10% records, most of these more recent and more precise. New colour coded maps produced from DMAP. This edition is “regionally aligned”, that is, several species which are county rare in Northumberland, but were narrowly rejected for the Durham first edition, are now included. Cover picture—Spring Gentian at Widdybank Fell. Introduction Many counties are in the process of compiling a County Rare Plant Register, to assist in the study and conservation of their rare species. The process is made easier if the county has a published Flora and a strong Biological Records Centre, and Durham is fortunate to have Gordon Graham's Flora and the Durham Wildlife Trust’s “Recorder" system. We have also had a Biodiversity project, based at Rainton Meadows, which until 2013 carried out conservation projects to protect the rare species. It is hoped that the “RPR” will act as a stimulus for local botanists to make special efforts to improve the database by recording these species. The register will be used to increase our understanding of the status and distribution of the rare species, and to aid and promote their conservation.

  • Walk the Way in a Day Walk 17 River South Tyne and Garrigill
    Walk the Way in a Day Walk 17 River South Tyne and Garrigill Another walk taking the form of a ‘figure 8’, this 1965 - 2015 time centred upon England’s highest market town. Crossing valley side pasture and passing the remains of a Roman fort (Whitley Castle), the return route runs alongside a narrow gauge railway. The paths can be muddy, but the views are lovely. Length: 12 miles (19¼ kilometres) Ascent: 984 feet (300 metres) Highest Point: 1,542 feet (470 metres) Map(s): OS Explorer OL Map 31 (‘North Pennines - Teesdale & Weardale’) (West Sheet) Starting Point: Garrigill village centre, South Tynedale (NY 745 415) Facilities: Public toilets, inn and refreshments. Website: http://www.nationaltrail.co.uk/pennine-way/route/walk- way-day-walk-17-river-south-tyne-and-garrigill Bleagate Garrigill is signed from the B6277, 4 miles (6½ kilometres) south-east of Alston, and offers roadside parking around the village green. The first part of the walk follows the Pennine Way along a riverside path to Bleagate farm, 2¾ miles (4¼ kilometres) to the north-west. Heading along Leadgate Road, a finger sign shows the Pennine Way turning onto a hardcore track. Passing the abandoned Redwing Chapel and some old spoil heaps, the path runs above the river, which is flanked with fir-trees. Farms can be seen dotted about the valley sides, which are patterned with walled pasture. As the river enters a narrow gorge, the path runs through a grove of birch trees. Walk 17: River South Tyne and Garrigill page 1 Ashgill Force Garrigill Garrigill (‘Gerard’s gill’) is a pleasant village of stone-built cottages, The next part of the walk runs south-east for 1½ miles (2¼ kilometres) to standing beside the River South Tyne.

  • Yad Moss News September 2021
    Yad Moss News September 2021 Sunday 3rd January Like everywhere else it’s been a frustrating year at Yad Moss. During the Autumn we undertook a lot of Covid preparation work fitting a Perspex window to the ticket office, clearing out the club room and placing the picnic tables outside, weighed down against the wind with large rocks! We stocked up on cleaning products and hand gel and then as the ‘Covid Tiers’ began to escalate we prepared to target day tickets sales at local postcodes only. We reckoned that using the Poma in the fresh air of the high Pennines would present a very low risk of catching Covid at Yad Moss. The national restrictions seem mainly about the journey getting there. The first weekend of skiing came quickly. On Saturday the 5th of December we enjoyed great visibility but on snow that was breakable crust. By the Sunday the snow had improved but the cloud didn’t lift until later in the afternoon. The next skiing day was on Sunday the 3rd January and it was excellent. The night before we got more Not all the snow at Yad Moss is powder 1 snow than forecast and the sun came out freeze-drying the fresh snow. All the runs were complete and we enjoyed good off piste skiing. January 2021 Things were going well and the weather was looking good into January. The models were showing good medium term agreement for cool air and precipitation which would likely mean snow up at Yad Moss. And then, unexpectedly, we were instructed to shut down as National Lockdown No3 was announced, effective from the 5th January….

  • I.—On the Surface-Geology of the Neighbourhood of Cross Fell, In
    THE GEOLOGICAL MAGAZINE. No. CX.—AUGUST, 1873. I.—OK THE SURFACE-GEOLOGY OF THE NEIGHBOURHOOD OF CEOSS FELL, IN CUMBERLAND.1 By C. E. DE EANCE, F.G.S. HE eastern margin of the Vale of Eden, in the neighbourhood of Blencairn, Ousby, and Melmerby, is abruptly terminated Tby a steep and lofty escarpment, which rises to an eminence of 2892 feet at Cross Fell, 2331 feet at Melberby Fell, and 2082'feet at Fiends Fell, the elevations between these points being nearly as great. Eastwards, from the top of the escarpment, a large expanse of elevated moorlands slope gradually towards the North Sea. The tipper portion of the escarpment consists of successive scars of limestone and grit resting conformably'on " Old Bed " Sandstone and Conglomerate, lying m denuded hollows of Lower Silurian rocks, which form the base of the range, and abut against the Permian Sandstone, brought in by the Pennine fault In general aspect the Cross Fell escarpment may be compared to that of the North Downs near Folkestone, the Limestone scars corresponding in a scenic point of view to the Chalk (weathering in very similar curves), the Old Red and Lower Silurian to the Gault, and the Permian and Boulder-clay plain to that of the Lower Green- sand. Near Folkestone lines of springs occur at the base of the Chalk, the overflow of a wedge of water partially held back by the sea, after flowing down the dip of the strata. Springs occur on the face of the Cross Fell escarpment, above impermeable beds of shale, with a similar inwards dip, the overflow probably being caused by the outlets of the water, the lower outcrop of the water-bearing stratum not being suflioiently large for the volume of water flowing out into the streams.
