  • Newlands Valley Walk
    Newlands Valley Walk You can start this walk from virtually anywhere in the Newlands valley; I started from a couple of our Lake District cottages at Birkrigg on the Newlands Pass. Walk down the road in the direction of Keswick, you will soon come to a tight bend at Rigg Beck where the ‘Old Purple House’ used to stand. There is now a Grand Designs style house on the site but the purple colour remains on the roof garden and the front door. Carry on along the pass till you come across a gate on the right hand side and a finger post indicating a footpath beyond the gate. The path leads down into the valley fields and across a minor road. A track climbs up the other side of the valley and emerges at Skelgill. Walk through the farmyard and turn immediately back on yourself to join the path that runs alongside Catbells, towards the old mines at Yewthwaite. After about half a mile, the path descends into Little Town where you can enjoy a well earned cup of tea at the farm tea room. Now there are two options from Little Town. For a longer walk, go back up onto the track and carry on down the valley. This will take you to the old mines at Goldscope where you can peer into the open shafts on the side of Hindscarth. Alternatively you can walk along the road towards Chapel Bridge and stroll down the lane to the pretty little church. The church serves tea and cake on weekends and during the summer.

  • 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.

  • Inn Way to the Lake District
    Walking Holidays in Britain’s most Beautiful Landscapes Inn Way to the Lake District The Lakes Inn Way is a 90 mile circular walk starting and finishing in the popular tourist town of Ambleside. This trail takes in some of the more remote corners of the Lake District, and takes you through the Lake District’s stunning deep sided valleys, along lake shores and over remote mountain passes – as well as past over 40 traditional Lakeland inns. The full route takes you through the popular tourist towns of Ambleside, Coniston, and Grasmere (site of Dove Cottage, former home of the Romantic Poet Wordsworth), as well as through a few of the Lake District’s most impressive valleys – Borrowdale, Ennerdale, and Great Langdale, linked together with paths over high mountain passes, with great views of the surrounding fells. A highlight is a visit to remote Wasdale Head, in the shadow of Scafell Pike, the highest mountain in England. Why is the route known as the Inn Way to the Lake District? Because it is devised so that at each day the route passes a pub at lunchtime and there will always be one nearby – or you will be staying in one – at each overnight stop. There are many traditional Lakeland Inns to choose from, – so you can plan your trip looking forward to log fires, local ales and good food, often made with local produce.

  • The Fred Route-Pdf
    The Fred Whitton Challenge. 5 of us arrived, full of enthusiasm and some trepidation, in Keswick the night before and headed out by 6.30 to begin some serious, but inconclusive, carbo- loading research. The busy Italian supplied excellent spag bol, lasagna and chicken with beer and wine. The town was lively as we moved on to the numerous local Taverns in order to broaden our data. Despite the lack of a definitive answer it does appear Cider can be counter productive. As we set up our bikes “The Fred” gave us a taste of the challenge to come with a heavy, cold shower and strong wind, We checked in and set off by 7.30 am, in driving wind and freezing rain, went past the head of Coniston water and straight onto the first climb of the day, Hawkshead Hill, which at least warmed us as the rain eased. All our plans to ‘take it easy’ and aim for an average 13mph were forgotten covering the 7 or so miles to Ambleside at between 20 and 25mph. Windermere was looking good but after just over a mile we turned left up the very steep Holbeck Lane climb to Troutbeck, the first BIG climb of the day, up Kirkstone pass. (454m, 14.7 miles covered). There were lots of supporters at the top, as at all the summits, and their encouragement spurred us on. Being the highest pass, there’s a long and steep descent, which was tiring and difficult because we had to ride the brakes on a steep, slippery, long descent.
