  • Windermere Way
    WINDERMERE WAY AROUND ENGLAND’S FINEST LAKE WINDERMERE WAY - WALKING SHORT BREAK SUMMARY The Windermere Way combines a delightful series of linked walks around Lake Windermere, taking in some of the finest views of the Lake District. Starting in the pretty town of Ambleside, the Windermere Way is made up of four distinct day walks which are all linked by ferries across the Lake. So you not only get to enjoy some wonderful walking but can also sit back and relax on some beautiful ferry journeys across Lake Windermere! The Windermere Way is a twin-centre walking holiday combining 2 nights in the lively lakeside town of Ambleside with 3 nights in the bustling Bowness-on-Windermere. Each day you will do a different walk and use the Windermere Ferries to take you to or from Ambleside or Bowness. From Ambleside, you will catch your first ferry to the lovely lakeside town of Bowness, where you will begin walking. Over the next four days you will take in highlights such as the magnificent views from Wansfell Pike, the glistening Loughrigg Tarn, and some delightful lakeshore walking. Most of the time you are walking on well maintained paths and trails and this is combined with some easy sections of road walking. Sometimes you will be climbing high up into the hills and at others you will be strolling along close to the lake on nice flat paths. Tour: Windermere Way Code: WESWW The Windermere Way includes hand-picked overnight accommodation in high quality B&B’s or Type: Self-Guided Walking Holiday guesthouses in Ambleside and Bowness.

  • Charr (Sal Velinus Alpinus L.) from Three Cumbrian Lakes
    Heredity (1984), 53 (2), 249—257 1984. The Genetical Society of Great Britain BIOCHEMICALPOLYMORPHISM IN CHARR (SAL VELINUS ALPINUS L.) FROM THREE CUMBRIAN LAKES A. R. CHILD Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, Directorate of Fisheries Research, Fisheries Laboratory, Pake field Road, Lowestoft, Suffolk NR33 OHT, U.K. Received25.i.84 SUMMARY Blood sera from four populations of charr (Salvelinus alpinus L.) inhabiting three lakes in Cumbria were analysed for genetic polymorphisms. Evidence was obtained at the esterase locus supporting the genetic isolation of two temporally distinct spawning populations of charr in Windermere. Significant differences at the transferrin and esterase loci between the Coniston population of charr and the populations found in Ennerdale Water and Windermere were thought to be due to genetic drift following severe reduction in the effective population size in Coniston water. 1. INTRODUCTION The Arctic charr (Salvilinus alpinus L.) has a circumpolar distribution in the northern hemisphere. The populations in the British Isles are confined to isolated lakes in Wales, Cumbria, Ireland and Scotland. Charr north of latitude 65°N are anadromous but this behaviour has been lost in southerly populations. This paper describes an investigation of biochemical polymorphism of the isozyme products of two loci, serum transferrin and serum esterase, in charr populations from three Cumbrian lakes—Windermere, Ennerdale Water and Coniston Water (fig. 1). Electrophoretic methods applied to tissue extracts have been employed by several workers in an attempt to clarify the "species complex" in Sal- velinus alpinus and to investigate interrelationships between charr popula- tions (Nyman, 1972; Henricson and Nyman, 1976; Child, 1977; Klemetsen and Grotnes, 1980).

Towards the end of last century Frankland, Houston, Jordon, Miguel, and many other bacteriologists undertook the pioneer work underlying the present-day knowledge of the role of bacteria in water. This work, instead of continuing along the lines laid down by those pioneers, has largely developed into a study of bacteria which are not in- digenous to water. The public health interest in water has become so strong that the study of pathogenic and coliform bacteria in water has by far out- grown the study of the more fundamental questions of the distribution, growth, and physiological activities of indigenous bacteria. The relations of bacteria to the activities of the phytoplankton and zooplankton, and to the general chemical and biotic conditions occurring in fresh water, are still to be accurately determined.
