Current 2. Future 3. Future Recovery Planning Resilience Sort out the Try and Stop If it does mess we it happening happen then have now again be prepared 3 Community Flood Plan Tasks 1. Set up a Community Flood Group with volunteers from all areas of the community and input from key agencies 2. Confirm problem areas, and for each identify what happened, why, what has been done, what still needs to be done and what needs to be done on a regular basis to make sure it doesn’t happen again 3. Agree these actions with the landowner, EA and other relevant agencies, secure the necessary funding, get the immediate stuff done, get sign off on regular maintenance work and commitment to future projects where required 4. Set up ongoing monitoring and emergency plans for future events 4 5 December Floods Timeline – First 7 Days Key Recovery Jobs Done Local Volunteers start clearing Glenridding Bridge Dredge Glenridding Beck c.10:00 in the village and down 30 sandbags to the Lake Pooley Army delivered to Glenridding Glenridding Bridge Arrives with Glenridding Beck burst Beck burst Collapses Food & c.14:00 in village again in Clear Beck at Gillside c.16:00 Water c.20:00 village c.23:00 and reinforce bank Met Office Beckside c.19:00 Goldrill under landslips warning issued for construction Bridge burst Storm Desmond arrive from c.23:00 Hartsop c.14:00 Reinstate roads to Village Clean Up I Village Clean Up 2 Steamers and Sailing Centre Friday Sat Sun Mon Tues Wed Thurs Dec 4th Dec 5th Dec 6th Dec 7th Dec 8th Dec 9th Dec 10th Dredge Grisedale Beck from PHE to beck mouth External Water Cut Vodafone Off/ Landlines Vodafone Mast offline Contaminated External Clear beck and stabilise c.21:00 Offline c.17:00 Landlines Mast online Restored c.16:00 bank in Grisedale Valley Glenridding to Patterdale Road Flooded 22:00 (x2) A592 from A592 from the north the north inaccessible accessible Reinforce beck bank c.17:00 c.15:00 behind Lanefoot cottages A592 from A592 from the south the south Domestic Flood Impact inaccessible accessible Dredge beck at Cow c.17:00 c.07:00 At least 70 properties and businesses in the Parish directly affected by flood Bridge Hartsop 3.5 inches of 8 inches of damage – ranging from the catastrophic rain at rain at Gillside Gillside to the marginal. Some properties flooded Clear drains and culverts up to 3 times at Grisedale Bridge Community Flood Plan - Progress to Date • Draft list of key issues and actions produced (Community Flood Plan version 5) • Website created (www.parishfloodgroup.org) • Discussions held with other communities with existing flood groups (Stockdalewath, Talybont) • Discussions held with National Flood Forum and request for assistance on resilience work made • Initial community meeting held 29th January at Patterdale School • Meeting held with EA, National Trust, LDNP, Eden Rivers Trust & Natural England to agree approach • Area Flood Group meetings held at Rookings (Patterdale), Grisedale Bridge and Glenridding • Regular attendance at Eden Flood Recovery Forum • Attendance at last Cumbria Flood Partnership (CFP) Meeting • Attendance at Upstream Water Mgt workshop of CFP • Ongoing negotiation with EA on Glenridding Beck Wall repair and Jenkins Field • Ongoing discussion with EDC on Jenkins Field • Ongoing discussions with LDNP on Car Park, TIC, Footpaths etc • Ongoing discussions with National Trust on repair work needed on NT Land and also on water management in other areas of the Dale • Ongoing discussions with Eden Rivers Trust on work • Ongoing discussions with EDC on flood recovery work, resilience grant applications, and potential funding • Ongoing discussions with CCC/Highways on drainage work, road repair and tree work • Ongoing discussions with landowners re: work required….. 6 Community Flood Plan – Key Issues • Inter-agency cooperation & communication – with each other and the community • Future of Jenkins Field • Timetable for repair of Glenridding Beck Wall • Funding for repairs not covered by insurance/resilience grants (eg Lanefoot) • DEFRA agreement on protection of HLS payments where flood protection work required upstream • Simple, single & speedy consent for beck work now and in the future • Funding for current project and future maintenance tasks 7 Future Planning – Some Possible Key Principles 1. Upstream in all the valleys - try and slow the flow, store overspill, and absorb as much as possible 2. Downstream keep the capacity levels high to allow quick outflow into the lake, and make sure the beck walls are high enough and strong enough 3. Downstream as a general rule trees on the bank are good (but should be pollarded), trees in the beck are bad 4. Remove gravel only at key laying points, to agreed levels, using agreed process at agreed times! 5. Regular clearance of all drains and culverts 6. Take control for maintenance locally where possible 8 Resilience Team Team Leaders - Jon Holdsworth / Fra Cooke 9 Resilience Team Update 10 The dale is being divided up in to six designated flood areas. We hope to appoint two or more flood wardens to look after each area The wardens will help set up and maintain systems for their specific area including: • Buddy system to look after vulnerable people • Cascade communication system to more easily disseminate information • Inspection regimes on water courses and paths to help monitor conditions, spot problems early, and recognise danger signs that can act as triggers (eg: beck height) • Action plans to follow in the event of a trigger point being reached • Helping organise and maintain equipment and locate strategically positioned storage for it We are compiling a definitive inventory of emergency equipment that we’d like located in each flood area all-year-round Communications resilience is being looked at by Graeme Connacher and Martin Butcher with the intention of setting up satellite links at key strategic locations. These will need generator back up and if anybody already has and maintains a generator and is willing to have satellite comms then please contact Graeme We are compiling a list of emergency contacts, and looking in to how our flood plan can work alongside and actually help the police, EA, LDNPA, PMRA, HA etc We are also compiling a list of contractors and key local people that can help in an emergency We are looking in to the potential for a ‘Press Officer’ role to organise liaisons with the media better and make sure that the correct messages are sent out to maximise benefit and minimise impact on the dale We are liaising with the Health Centre to see if we can help monitor, look after and distribute medicines to vulnerable people in the event of any emergency We are liaising with businesses to see whether they are happy to be kept in our communication loop but to essentially ‘look after themselves’ and not need community support for any emergency preparations in a flood situation Resilience Plan – Some Ideas 11 Issue Cause Solution Responsibility Loss of Mobile Phone Electricity outage at Glenridding Hotel where Have back up power source for the mast Graeme M and Martin B Signal mast is Loss of Landline Signal Pooley Bridge collapse Have separate comms from Mountain Rescue to Graeme M and Martin B the outside world Loss of water Pumping station underwater at Haweswater Ensure resilience at the pumping station and have United Utilities and supplies of bottled water Community Flood Group Loss of power General outage although not for long Ensure resilience and have generators in key points Community Flood Group Lack of Sandbags Council stretched and only delivered 30 on day 1 Ensure supply of sand and empty sandbags (plastic Community Flood not hessian) at key points Group Roads cut-off Underwater from Aira Force to Glenridding and See long term plan - empty culverts & drains on Highways and Council Glenridding to Patterdale regular basis No idea who to call Lack of information Emergency contact list for all residents - paper copy Community Flood in homes plus on web, list of vulnerable residents, Group designated helpers etc. Local command & control No proper warning of Lack of agreed levels of beck, rainfall etc which Agree and monitor beck levels, rainfall levels and Community Flood impact are a "threat" define threat and action levels Group Homes & Businesses Lack of flood defences for most homes and Assist all home and business owners with most Community Flood unprotected villages

    Landform Studies in Mosedale, Northeastern Lake District: Opportunities for Field Investigations

    Field Studies, 10, (2002) 177 - 206 LANDFORM STUDIES IN MOSEDALE, NORTHEASTERN LAKE DISTRICT: OPPORTUNITIES FOR FIELD INVESTIGATIONS RICHARD CLARK Parcey House, Hartsop, Penrith, Cumbria CA11 0NZ AND PETER WILSON School of Environmental Studies, University of Ulster at Coleraine, Cromore Road, Coleraine, Co. Londonderry BT52 1SA, Northern Ireland (e-mail: [email protected]) ABSTRACT Mosedale is part of the valley of the River Caldew in the Skiddaw upland of the northeastern Lake District. It possesses a diverse, interesting and problematic assemblage of landforms and is convenient to Blencathra Field Centre. The landforms result from glacial, periglacial, fluvial and hillslopes processes and, although some of them have been described previously, others have not. Landforms of one time and environment occur adjacent to those of another. The area is a valuable locality for the field teaching and evaluation of upland geomorphology. In this paper, something of the variety of landforms, materials and processes is outlined for each district in turn. That is followed by suggestions for further enquiry about landform development in time and place. Some questions are posed. These should not be thought of as being the only relevant ones that might be asked about the area: they are intended to help set enquiry off. Mosedale offers a challenge to students at all levels and its landforms demonstrate a complexity that is rarely presented in the textbooks. INTRODUCTION Upland areas attract research and teaching in both earth and life sciences. In part, that is for the pleasure in being there and, substantially, for relative freedom of access to such features as landforms, outcrops and habitats, especially in comparison with intensively occupied lowland areas.

William Hibbert Marshall, owner of Patterdale Hall, donated a piece of land to allow for the building of a permanent Monument in February 1921 on the shores of Ullswater, midway between Glenridding and Patterdale. The memorial slab was hewn from a twenty ton piece of local slate and the eventual undressed slate stone still weighs in at around 5 tons. It was unveiled in October 1921. As part of the 100th Anniversary Commemoration of the outbreak of World War One, we have tried to find out more about the men whose names are inscribed on the Memorial, from both World Wars, on the Roll of Honour in the Village Hall, and also about life in and around Patterdale and Glenridding at the time.

    De Lancaster of Westmorland -241

    DE LANCASTER OF WESTMORLAND -241- THE DE LANCASTERS OF WESTMORLAND: LESSER-KNOWN BRANCHES, AND THE ORIGIN OF THE DE LANCASTERS OF HOWGILL 1 by Andrew Lancaster ABSTRACT By his own admission Ragg’s 1910 paper De Lancaster could not complete a full study of all the de Lancasters in medieval Westmorland. The article proposes that several lines which he left incompletely explained might be connected in unexpected ways. One suggestion concerns Jordan de Lancaster, born in the 12th century. In addition, the doubts Ragg raised about the de Lancasters of Howgill lead the author to question explanations of their origins that are widely accepted. Foundations (2007) 2 (4): 241-252 © Copyright FMG and the author Jordan de Lancaster Ragg (1910) removed all reasonable doubt concerning the origins of the de Lancaster family of Sockbridge in Westmorland. A series of charters confirmed that their founder was Gilbert de Lancaster, born in the 12th century. This Gilbert was the son of William de Lancaster II, and the brother of Helewise de Lancaster, William’s daughter and legitimate heir. Ragg’s study of other documents established a clear line of descent from this Gilbert de Lancaster to the later and better-known Christopher de Lancaster of Sockbridge in the 14th century. As Ragg stated (p.396), the existence of Gilbert, son of William de Lancaster II, had in fact been asserted for some time before Ragg’s more conclusive paper. As I shall discuss further below, he appears as witness in many of his father’s charters, and Ragg admitted to having made an error in ignoring the evidence.

    Where Real Skiers Ski Glenridding, Lake District, United Kingdom

    Where real skiers ski Glenridding, Lake District, United Kingdom Winter has arrived and the tow is in action (courtesy LDSC) I have done it, at least they have done it for me. A little while ago I reached the zenith of my skiing Greenside Mine - now career and became a member of the Lake District Ski Club. abandoned but a piece of mining history Moving to Cumbria had been a life decision, swopping London’s pollution for the purity of Lakeland air. The ongoing pandemic persuaded me, as I had no wish to spend a second lockdown period in London. Yet the last thing I was expecting in Cumbria was a ski tow, clinging out-of-sight to a patch of fell, somewhere north of the majestic Helvellyn mountain. “It’s difficult to find,” said Mike Sweeney, the club’s President. “We have it well hidden, but our website tells you the route.” One look at Mike told me I should start training. He has the outdoor look about him and appears ready for the mountains at all times. What he described as not too bad, for me would be diabolical. The snow had not arrived when I first visited the Club’s wooden ski hut, which sits at the bottom of a Walking to the ski hut with Poma tow. I had decided to walk there from the village of Glenridding, once a mining town, but now a Ullswater in the distance (courtesy LDSC) tourist haven on the side of scenic Ullswater. There is a special Club car park higher up, which removes an hour of walking, but you need permission to use the track to get there.

    The Lake District

    The Lake District The Lake District has inspired poets and enchanted visitors to the area for centuries and that has helped validate its position as the UK’s most visited National Park. At the top of Skarfell in clear weather there are views over to Ireland and as far as Snowdonia in Wales. If making your way to the top of England’s highest peak doesn’t appeal to you then the beautiful lakes of Ullswater, Windermere and almost a hundred more bodies of water are sure to offer you plenty of opportunity for excitement or serenity. If you would like to experience some culture whilst in the area you could visit the Theatre by the Lake which runs a year round program of productions and has been called the most beautifully situated theatre in the country. Hill Top was Beatrix Potter’s home for 38 years and remains today much as it was when she lived there. Immerse yourself in the space and surroundings that helped inspire her to write the stories loved throughout.
