    My 214 Story Name: Christopher Taylor Membership Number: 3812 First Fell Climbed

    My 214 Story Name: Christopher Taylor Membership number: 3812 First fell climbed: Coniston Old Man, 6 April 2003 Last fell climbed: Great End, 14 October 2019 I was a bit of a late-comer to the Lakes. My first visit was with my family when I was 15. We rented a cottage in Grange for a week at Easter. Despite my parents’ ambitious attempts to cajole my sister Cath and me up Scafell Pike and Helvellyn, the weather turned us back each time. I remember reaching Sty Head and the wind being so strong my Mum was blown over. My sister, 18 at the time, eventually just sat down in the middle of marshy ground somewhere below the Langdale Pikes and refused to walk any further. I didn’t return then until I was 28. It was my Dad’s 60th and we took a cottage in Coniston in April 2003. The Old Man of Coniston became my first summit, and I also managed to get up Helvellyn via Striding Edge with Cath and my brother-in-law Dave. Clambering along the edge and up on to the still snow-capped summit was thrilling. A love of the Lakes, and in particular reaching and walking on high ground, was finally born. Visits to the Lakes became more regular after that, but often only for a week a year as work and other commitments limited opportunities. A number of favourites established themselves: the Langdale Pikes; Lingmoor Fell; Catbells and Wansfell among them. I gradually became more ambitious in the peaks I was willing to take on.

    This Walk Description Is from Happyhiker.Co.Uk Hareden Fell Circuit

    This walk description is from happyhiker.co.uk Hareden Fell Circuit – Including Fair Snape Fell and Totridge Starting point and OS Grid reference Roadside lay-by at entrance to waterworks at Sykes Nab (SD 632512) Ordnance Survey map OL41 Forest of Bowland. Distance 10.7 Miles Traffic light rating but see below. Introduction: This is a hard walk! It is not the gradient that makes it so, although there is a knee-grinding descent of a grassy hill towards the end, it is more the nature of the moorland walking on the plateau, where the peaty ground requires endless detours to avoid the worst boggy excesses. I did the walk after a dry spell and there were still horrendous patches. For that reason, it is strongly recommended the walk be avoided after or during wet weather. The plateau is relatively featureless and it would be easy to lose one’s sense of direction. For that reason, I have routed this walk to make use of fence lines as a guide. The views make it worth all the aggravation! Start: The walk starts just west of Dunsop Bridge on the picturesque route through the Trough of Bowland which runs from Newton-in-Bowland to Lancaster. There is roadside parking in a rough lay-by by the entrance to waterworks (SD632512). A sign advises - Langden No unauthorised Vehicles past this point – a United Utilities sign. Also, a welcome notice at the entrance advises you that you are about to enter Access land in the Forest of Bowland (an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) and warns that it “…offers some of the roughest and most remote walking in Lancashire…..” Quite so! Take the broad service track past the waterworks.

We use the gear ourselves in events like the Vaux Mountain Trial and the Karrimor Mountain Marathon — and you don't get tougher events than those! So take your pick from the selection below. If you are in urgent need of gear and have an Access Card or Barclaycard, then all you need to do is phone us with your order and card number and the gear will be in the post that same day. If ordering by post, then do give us your English size (plus Continental size if known) and also send us an outline of your foot (stand on a piece of paper in your socks and draw around your toot). All weights quoted are for a pair of size 8, and are approximate. FELL SHOES THE FINNISH NOKIA. A very strong studded shoe at an extremely attractive price.

    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.

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.
