Lake District Wainwright Bagging Holiday - the Far Eastern Fells Lake District Wainwright Bagging Holiday - The Far Eastern Fells Tour Style: Challenge Walks Destinations: Lake District & England Trip code: DBWBF Trip Walking Grade: 6 HOLIDAY OVERVIEW Wainwright bagging, perfect when you want to release your inner explorer! Alfred Wainwright’s Pictorial Guides have provided the inspiration for many a fell walker, with over two million copies of the books selling since their publication. There are 214 fells described within his books and this holiday takes in all 36 of the fells he enthuses about in his Far Eastern Fells pictorial guide, in one fabulous, challenging holiday. The Far Eastern Fells make up the beautiful and often remote section of fells from the eastern shores of Ullswater, around Haweswater and south to the Kentmere valley. In an energetic week of serious hiking it’s possible to do the lot. We criss-cross the mountains with a few out-and-back extensions here and there to make sure we bag every one. Some very tough days amongst some of Cumbria’s finest fells.

Hopefully with just enough time remaining for a drink to celebrate on a heck of an achievement with all 36 Far Eastern Fells bagged. Day 8: Departure Day Enjoy a leisurely breakfast before making your way home. ACCOMMODATION Derwent Bank Close to Keswick and situated slap bang on the shore of Derwentwater, with the glassy lake on one side and the razor-edged ridges, humpbacked fells and muscular mountains of the Lake District on the other, beautiful Derwent Bank has been entrancing walkers since 1785. Extensive refurbishment and investment have seen this established walkers’ retreat transformed into a beautiful country house hotel perfect for people looking to explore the great outdoors. It’s also perfect for drinking in the views over a glass of something chilled on the terrace. With 41 bedrooms across the main house and garden rooms as well as a rustic ‘pod’ to sleep in, there’s plenty of space, along with a pretty orangery, large lounge and relaxed vibe. The lakeside land encompasses a formal garden, extensive lawns and mature trees. The emphasis is on enjoying the great outdoors and it’s all made super easy with walkers’ facilities from an inspiration point equipped with maps and route ideas to a boot room and drying space – this is the Lakes, after all. With views of Cat Bells and Grizedale Pike, the inspiration for adventure is never far away. Venture out from the house to head to the high peaks such as Scafell Pike, Blencathra and Helvellyn or stick to the lower slopes and lakes; Ullswater, arguably the most beautiful of the Cumbrian lakes, Borrowdale and Buttermere are all within easy reach. www.hfholidays.co.uk PAGE 3 [email protected] Tel: +44(0) 20 3974 8865 Matchless Country House Accommodation Accommodation Info Need To Know Important Covid-19 Steps We Have Taken For Guest Safety: Please Read Following the relaxation in government guidance on 19 July, we are continuing to take extra steps to keep our guests leaders, and staff safe in our HF country houses. We ask all our guests to respect the measures put in place. The English, Scottish and Welsh governments are not in sync, so measures in our country houses will vary between the nations. With the relaxation of social distancing in England, from 19 July we will be allowing larger groups to dine and relax in the bar together. However, we will still give guests space e.g. we will seat 6 people at a table where pre-pandemic we may have seated 8. We will ensure our public rooms are well ventilated by opening doors and windows wherever possible. If you have any concerns about distancing, please speak to the House Manager. The government recommendation for England is to wear face coverings in crowded areas. You must wear a face covering by law in public areas in hotels in Scotland. This is mandatory in public spaces; however, face coverings will not be required whilst eating and drinking in the restaurant and bar areas or whilst you are outside our houses. In Wales face coverings will remain a legal requirement indoors, with the exception of hospitality premises. As a temporary measure, we will not be servicing rooms during a stay. Extra tea, coffee, milk, and toiletries will be made available on request for all guests. It is recommended that guests bring their own toiletries for the duration of their stay. We will though be increasing the frequency of cleaning in our public areas providing particular attention to frequently touched items including door handles and handrails. Menus for the week will be available in your room on arrival. A self-service breakfast will be served from 7.45am – 9am. Picnic lunches will now be pre-ordered the night before from an order form in the room. Evening meals will be table service. A dinner order form will be available in each room for completion. Dinner is served at either 7.15pm or 7.30pm. Please check at the house for details. The bar will be open. We will be offering a table service but guests can also come to the bar to order (depending on local restrictions). Join our team after dinner on Wednesday evenings for the HF Big Pub Quiz. There will be one other evening of entertainment at the start of the week, which will vary depending on the country house that you are staying at. Our Walk Leaders will also be on hand in the bar or lounge for individual or small group walks talks briefings, which allow guests to talk through the following day’s walk options and ask any questions. All of our swimming pools are open, except for Glen Coe, which will not re-open this year.

    NewsieBlack Combe Runners December 2012: the round up issue Captain Pete’s Final Wave Once more the club has gone from strength to strength over the last year. We’ve had mass participation in races with 31 and Dunneredale and 22 at Kirkby, and we’ve been winning races with records set in the process (thanks to Lizzie and Anna). The club has won a few races as a team as well, ladies at Ulverston, men at Middlefell and Caw and a mixed team at Kirkby. Our 3 relay teams in the UK relay all achieved their highest ever placings (the open team was 36th) and with two teams in the Ian Hodgson our first team hit the top 20. We’ve had quite a few new members this year, particularly a larger number of younger people so the next few years of the club seem pretty assured. Remembering some of our recently departed friends, Pete’s well researched John Peel Trail was a great day out for the summer challenge and has since been featured in the Long Distance Walkers magazine. We also had a local winner of the inaugral Bob Grieve Trophy, for the lowest combined time across all four of our club races, Mike McI winning the mens class with Wendy Dodds taking the womens. So we’re all set for an even more successful 2013, starting with more competition in the winter league races, no noubt leading to more fun throughout. See you at Po House. Lizzie shows Ian Holmes how to ascend. AGM - 29th Jan, Kepplewray The usual pie and peas AGM will take place on the 29th January 2013, 7.30pm at Kepplewray, with a short run beforehand from 6.30pm.

  • DAWN 2 DUSK – Saturday April 6, 2013 42 Miles (If You Take the Correct Course) and C11,500 Feet of Ascent
    LAKELAND 40 ‐ DAWN 2 DUSK – Saturday April 6, 2013 42 miles (if you take the correct course) and c11,500 feet of ascent When Joe Faulkner sets to work on devising a long, hard day out in Lakeland it is best to come prepared. The second running of this event was over a new course, a new distance and on a new date, April rather than June…..and what a day it was. Twenty five runners, twenty four finishers, the women sharing the spoils with the men as local runner Kim Collison claimed victory in just under 8 hours whilst Carnethy duo Jasmin Paris and Konrad Rawlik took second and third followed in by Nicky Spinks. Meanwhile further down the field…………… 04:15 am – Southwaite Service Station (M6) Who says the romance and magic has gone out of fellrunning? There I was sat in my car in an almost deserted car park at Southwaite Services just off the M6 tucking into my porridge and chocolate brownie with the car thermometer showing an outside temperature of around minus 4. Having left Haddington just after 2am having had only 4 rather fitful hours of sleep this was not the only point in the day when I pondered my sanity never mind my physical well being. 05:20 am – Askham Village Hall As bodies stirred in their sleeping bags like butterflies emerging from their chrysalis state the method of my madness began to unfold. A final briefing in the relative warmth of the hall just before 6am and we were then led out into a village still asleep just as the first signs of dawn appeared.

  • Top Three Walks from the Ullswater Steamers
    Top three walks from the Ullswater Steamers Holidays are all about relaxing and enjoying a change of scenery. For some people the narrow lanes and steep passes of Lakeland mean that driving around is anything but relaxing. Many of our Lake District cottages have parking spaces so why not take advantage of the excellent bus service to go off exploring. On several lakes there is also a boat service, operating round the lake trips with various stopping points. We have several Lake District cottages in Ullswater and Patterdale, which are handy for the steamer service on Ullswater. I have used the Ullswater Steamers for a number of interesting linear walks, the beauty of which are that you do not need to retrace your steps or complete a circular walk back to your starting point. Here are three great walks from our Ullswater cottages in the Lake District, suitable for any ability. Low Level Take the steamer from Glenridding to Howtown and walk clockwise along the shore of the lake. This is a very simple low level walk underneath the diminutive Hallin Fell and the wonderful view point of Silver Crag on Place Fell. There are no refreshments on route but you can call in to the Howtown Hotel before you set off. They serve an excellent afternoon tea with homemade treats. The walk is about 8 miles in length but there are no big climbs. If 8 miles seems like too much, then you can walk around the base of the fell for a shorter, more gentle route back to where you started.
