  • Lakes Big Swims Trip Notes
    ` Lakes Big Swims Trip Notes TRIP OVERVIEW The Lake District is home to over 80 lakes, meres, waters, and tarns making it a great location for open water swimming. On this short escape, we offer the opportunity to do some longer swims on what we think are four of the best lakes in the area. The days are packed as we swim the entire length of Derwent Water and Wast Water and swim across Grasmere and Ullswater. This trip is a fabulous opportunity to spend a few days not only exploring the different areas of the Lake District from a swimming perspective, but also experiencing the uniqueness of each lake. Swimmers will be escorted by experienced swim guides and qualified canoeists during all swims. Our accommodation is located on the shores of the water at Grasmere, right across the road from Wordsworth’s Dove Cottage. WHO IS THIS TRIP FOR? This trip is a combination of lake length swims as well as some long width crossings. Most swims are between 4-5kms, so the trip is best suited to those who fancy these types of distances. Although challenging, these swims are some of the most spectacular anywhere in the Lakes. LOCATION SUMMARIES Wast Water Wast Water is perhaps the most awe-inspiring of all the lakes and the deepest in England. Surrounded by the mountains of Red Pike, Kirk Fell and Great Gable, the peak of Scafell Pike, England’s highest mountain is our target as swim the length of this Water. Derwent Water Derwent Water is fed by the River Derwent with a catchment area in the high fells surrounded to its west rise by the fells of Cat Bells and to its east, the fantastic viewpoint of Friar's Crag, jutting into the lake.

Maberly & J.A. Elliott Project Leader: S.C. Maberly Contract Start Date: 1 January 2009 Report Date: May 2009 Report to: Environment Agency CEH Project: C03623 CEH Report Ref: LA/C03623/2 This is an unpublished report and should not be cited without permission, which should be sought through the project leader in the first instance. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS CONFIDENTIALITY STATEMENT ‘In accordance with our normal practice, this report is for the use only of the party to whom it is addressed, and no responsibility is accepted to any third party for the whole or any part of its contents. Neither the whole nor any part of this report or any reference thereto may be included in any published document, circular or statement, nor published or referred to in any way without our written approval of the form and context in which it may appear’. Executive Summary 1. The purpose of this report was to establish the effect of reduced nutrient loading from the two wastewater treatment works (WwTW) at Ambleside and Tower Wood on the amount and types of phytoplankton in the two basins of Windermere. A secondary objective was to assess the likely impact of reduced grazing pressure by zooplankton on phytoplankton amount. 2. The nutrient loads from the catchment and the WwTWs were estimated in previous reports for the whole lake (Maberly 2008, 2009) but basin-specific loads were calculated here.

  • Walks from Our Door. Ambleside to Rydal Water Via the Coffin Route, Back Along Under Loughrigg
    Walks from our door. Ambleside to Rydal water via the coffin route, back along under loughrigg. This walk is a low level, therefore relatively flat. It takes in some beautiful views across the valley, a choice of either tea rooms and pub for lunch a lake and historic houses. 1) From our front door, walk up the road towards Rattle Ghyll fine foods, at the top of the road turn left walking past The Apple pie Café and the iconic Bridge House. Carry on this road until you get to Rydal Lodge (Between the Apple Pie and Bridge House you will have gone over Stock Ghyll, on the other side of the main road on the bridge is a marker that shows above stock and below stock, anyone who lived above stock was buried in Grasmere and their coffins were carried by the women along the coffin route) 2) At Rydal lodge cross over the main road, through the gate that leads to the coffin route and walk along it enjoying the views, there are normally cows and sheep grazing in the meadows on either side of the path. When you reach Rydal Hall there is a choice of gate and stile. (Rydal Hall is currently used as a spiritual retreat, there is a tearoom here in the old schoolhouse, and some stunning gardens, which include a Victorian Grot as part of their quiet garden and a sculpture trail in the wooded area which takes you past the game larder and ice house.) 3) From the tea rooms, carry on the coffin route and you will very shortly meet a small lane, just at the top of this is Rydal Mount, the home of William Wordsworth, this currently houses a museum, he was a keen gardener so his gardens are well worth stopping off for, and they do a great cream tea.
