February 2008: the Christmas Issue. New Year, New Races
NewsieBlack Combe Runners February 2008: the Christmas issue. New year, new races. New beer. It came as a shock when Will asked me for some words for the Newsie, as I was now Club Captain, but knowing I can’t wriggle out, here they are. Firstly, thanks to those at the AGM for your show of faith in me seeing that I’ve only been in the club a year, and thanks to Penny for her support as Captain. Both Hazel and I have been really pleased with the reception and friendliness of all in the club over the last year and it has made a huge difference to the enjoyment we’ve had running. We all run for fun, for some it is running and chatting on a Tuesday night, for others it is racing and drinking as much as is financially viable at the weekend. Our aim has to be to maintain this and help people to take part and stretch themselves when and where they want to. This photograph was taken by Dave Watson. That’s the only explanation I can offer. Ed. The winter league races, excellently organised by Val with her mallet, have attracted a lot of interest with 26 people We had 9 wanting to run last year so it’s a reasonable having competed in the first four races, most having hope. As a number of us found out in running it for the run two or more. The overall result is still wide open, first time in 2007, it’s a great team day out, with a little particularly as Val hasn’t told us how she will handicap us running thrown in and a few beers afterwards. -

October 2014
black combe runners newsie october 2014 note from the editor What a fantastic summer we’ve had! I’ve lost count of the number of beautiful sunny social runs and clear, blue-sky fell races we’ve been lucky enough to have over the past few months. The club has seen some fantastic personal achievements too, in particular three successful Bob Graham attempts (well done Michael, Tim & John!) and celebrating Peter’s final Birkett. The Black Combe Summer Champs are still ongoing, with real competition for the fell top spot; less than one point stands between Mike McIver and Tim Ripper, with only Langdale and Dunnderdale left to decide the winner. Harvey has had a fantastic season leading the road champs and we wish him a speedy recovery after fracturing his ankle and rupturing ligaments in the Three Shires fell race (ouch!!). Whilst I’m here, I’d also like to take this opportunity to welcome some very special new additions to the Black Combe family! Huge congratulations to Will & Sue on the arrival of baby Flo, to John & Katy on the arrival of baby Owen and to Harvey & Jo on the arrival of baby Bess. We wish you all the best and lots more sleep! I hope you enjoy this issue of newsie… many thanks again to all of you who have been kind enough to contribute your articles and photographs. It’s now time for us to don our head torches, zip up our waterproofs and brace ourselves for the winter season! See you at the next social run! Take care, Beth When the nights draw in, it can only mean one thing. -

TRIP 7: HOD REET FUR ESHDEL Without Any Doubt, to My Way Of
TRIP 7: HOD REET FUR ESHDEL Without any doubt, to my way of thinking, Eskdale is the most beautiful valley in the Lake District. This view is corroborated by St. Alfred of Wainwright in his booklet ‘Walks from Ratty’ (7) where he says: “Eskdale, one of the loveliest of Lakeland’s valleys, descends from the highest and wildest mountains in the district to the sands of Ravenglass in a swift transition from grandeur to beauty, from bleak and craggy ridges to verdant woodlands and pastures watered by a charming river. It is a place of many delights, the finest of all valleys for those whose special joy is to travel on foot and a paradise for artists. Unspoilt by commercial and industrial activity, it remains today little changed since the first settlers discovered and cultivated with loving care this perfect Arcadia in the hills.” (p.3) I bow to the master. This, I believe, was written in 1978 and is still true today. My only quibble with the great man is that I find the upper reaches of Eskdale just as beautiful as the ‘verdant woodlands and pastures’ (see spots 96 & 97): the ridges may be ‘bleak and craggy’ but what about the waterfalls, the rivers, the Great Moss and the shapes of the mountain-tops which speak of beauty as well as grandeur? Photo 1214: Map of Eskdale (Crown copyright 2015, Ordnance Survey FL-GV 166842) Some will object that there are no lakes in Eskdale. True, but there are two very large tarns and many smaller ones that I personally find more beautiful than the great expanses of, say, Windermere, Bassenthwaite Lake and Coniston Water. -

SIXTH ISSUE - NOVEMBER, 1975 Editorial, We have made it at last with another issue! As a newcomer to the association it has taken me a while to get straightened out and ah issue in May this year just was not possible. It is however my intention to publish every 6 months from now on if funds permit and you continue with the flood of excellent material. I am sure that you will enjoy reading this issue as much as I have enjoyed compiling it from the great quantity and quality of reports and articles sent in. Please accept my apology if your particular contri bution has not appeared. Some reports have been duplicated, some material has dated in the passage of time and some has just had to be held over for the next issue because of limited space. To post all your copies would have cost over half as much again as the cost of producing this issue so I hope you will bear with us if you do not all receive your copies at once. This last summer Season has seen a considerable amount of activity, particularly in Lakeland whers it seems that runners may soon be outnumbering the more leisurely walker; This issue contains reports on most of the outstanding activities of the summer including, of course, Joss Naylor’s incredible 24 hour record. -
