    How to Get Round Wasdale When You Probably Shouldn't By Lauren Jeska What a year it's been!

  • An Iconic Landscape Why Is This Dramatic Landscape Such a Lake

It can be dark and menacing, light and inviting, inspirational, relaxing, exciting, over-powering and heady with the tang of wild places…and sometimes all those things in just one day! Stroll to the edge of the lake, Wast Water, to gain a hint of the powerful natural forces that have shaped this place and an inkling of why this setting served as the backdrop to some of the greatest pioneering rock climbing achievements... Why is this dramatic landscape such a Lake District icon? Arguably the wildest and most dramatic of the Lakeland valleys, Wasdale is a masterpiece of creation, fashioned by the Ice Age glaciers that carved deep U-shaped hollows in the hard volcanic rocks of this part of north-west England. Although the Ice Ages began about 2.4 million years ago, they lasted until about 10,000 years ago and it was this latest period of intense cold that caused the striking features we see here.

  • Trusmadoor and Other Cumbrian `Pass' Words
    Trusmadoor and Other Cumbrian `Pass' Words Diana Whaley University of Newcastle Nobody ever sang the praises of Trusmadoor, and it's time someone did. This lonely passage between the hills, an obvious and easy way for man and beast and beloved by wheeling buzzards and hawks, has a strange nostalgic charm. Its neat and regular proportions are remarkable—a natural `railway cutting'. What a place for an ambush and a massacre!1 No ambushes or massacres are promised in the following pages, but it will be argued that the neglected name of Trusmadoor holds excitements of a quieter kind. I will consider its etymology and wider onomastic and historical context and significance, and point to one or possibly two further instances of its rare first element. In the course of the discussion I will suggest alternative interpretations of two lost names in Cumbria. Trusmadoor lies among the Uldale Fells in Cumbria, some five miles east of the northern end of Bassenthwaite Lake (National Grid Reference NY2733). An ascending defile, it runs south-east, with Great Cockup to its west and Meal Fell to the north-east. The top of the pass forms a V-shaped frame for splendid views north over the Solway Firth some twenty miles away. Trusmadoor is a significant enough landscape feature to appear on the Ordnance Survey (OS) One Inch and 1:50,000 maps of the area, yet it is unrecorded, so far as I know, until its appearance on the First Edition Six Inch OS map of 1867. In the absence of early spellings one would normally be inclined to leave the name well alone, a practice followed, intentionally or not, by the editors of the English Place-Name Society survey of Cumberland.2 However, to speakers or readers of Welsh the name is fairly transparent.

  • A Challenging Day!(The Wasdale Horseshoe Fell Race 2016) “On
    A Challenging Day! (The Wasdale Horseshoe Fell Race 2016) “On your marks, get set, GO!” Come with me across the 21 miles and 9,000ft of the Wasdale Horseshoe Fell Race traversing the roughest and most famous fell country in England. It’s raining, windy and the mist is down to about 1,000ft. The race starts along a runable stony track before switching uphill onto the steep, grassy, tusocky and boggy fell side of Illgill Head. We’re all walking now, because of the steep gradient, and we quickly enter a world of mist and rain. The gradient eases near the summit and a ‘sheep trod’ takes us left of the top and on to the first check point atop of the next fell: Whinn Rigg. Visibility is down to about 20 meters and so there is no possibility of seeing the wonderful view down to Wast Water and across the fells of Lakeland. The first checkpoint is reached after about 45 mins (cut off time 1 hour) and the steep descent begins back to valley level. I start well on the thick grass underfoot but lose places on the steeper, stony, eroded path through the bracken. My well worn knees only allow a certain speed and I’ve no desire to take a fall on a day like this. Were now on the only ‘easy’ section of the race which takes us through fields and woods across the wet Wasdale Valley to Greendale – the home of fell running legend Joss Naylor and his wife Mary. They are both there on the bridge giving out orange juice.

  • Wasdale Course Details
    Wasdale Fell Race 11am Saturday 9th July 2016 21miles/9000ft The Wasdale is without doubt one of the best in the book, not only is it arguably the hardest it is also the most scenic – the view as you drive up to Wasdale Head is worth the entry fee alone. I think it was Wordsworth who said that every fellrunner should do at least one Wasdale in their careers, something like that anyhow. Pre entry only - £12.00 by 25th June – limited number of entries on the day are £15. Over 18. Limit of 250. Don’t leave it too late.... Wasdale Fell Race registration is in a tent just beyond the National Trust car park in the field on the left just after you cross the bridge on the track towards Brackenclose G.R.184074. Parking is permitted in the same field made available by a Wasdale Head farmer. We normally charge £3 per car. Do NOT park on the campsite or on the valley road. This is most important as the numbers may cause congestion if too many cars attempt to arrive too close to the start time. Start is within the Coffin Track path just past the field beyond the Brackenclose climbing hut G.R.184066; the finish is by the tent that you registered in. Toilets and showers are available in the Wasdale Head Campsite – river very close by. Free! to all runners & helpers tea sandwiches and cakes at finish – possibly some cooked food will also be on sale. Course: Map – Special PBS/Harveys race map from PBS £3: OS Outdoor Leisure 6 South Western and 4 North Western or Harveys Lakeland West.
