  • Watendlath Valley
    WATENDLATH VALLEY A peaceful and varied walk through a traditional and small Lakeland valley. This could be a good "car free" day out but which is very flexible in length and time. Distance - About 7.5 miles /12 km taking c 3.5hours actual walking time for the whole route. Grade - Generally easy but with several short uphill sections on both on road and tracks. Some paths rough and uneven, wet in places. Access - From Keswick by the Borrowdale bus or the launch service to Ashness landing stage / Watendlath road end. By car on the B5289. Map - OS Explorer - The English Lakes - North Western - OL4 - 1: 25000 Start from the cattle grid just above the road end junction and walk steadily uphill through woodland for ten minutes. At the wall end read the plaque on the small cairn, in memory of the legendary Bob Graham. Ashness Bridge, a classic viewpoint, is now in sight. Over the bridge, continue on the road up two hill sections, passing Ashness Farm on the left. You soon reach Surprise View on the right, with a wonderful panorama across Derwentwater, Keswick and Skiddaw. The last of serious uphill!! Keep on the road through mossy mixed woods. In a few minutes bear right off the road onto a broad track leading downhill to a gate; turn right and cross the footbridge. Here turn left at the stone Indicator towards Watendlath following the riverside path. Pause at the next footbridge. In front is a small glaciated valley, the craggy sides forming the textbook U shape, with the white buildings of the hamlet in the distance.

  • North West Geography
    ISSN 1476-1580 North West Geography Volume 14, Number 1, 2014 North West Geography, Volume 14, 2014 12 Towards a robust deglacial chronology for the northwest England sector of the last British-Irish Ice Sheet Peter Wilson Environmental Sciences Research Institute, School of Environmental Sciences, University of Ulster, Coleraine, Co. Londonderry BT52 1SA. [email protected] Tom Lord Lower Winskill, Langcliffe, Settle, North Yorkshire BD24 9PZ. Abstract A number of absolute age determinations that provide a timeframe for the deglaciation of the last ice sheet in northwest England are reviewed. Some of the ages are probably too old and are therefore unreliable; some others have large associated uncertainties and are imprecise estimates for the loss of ice cover. Several ages are minimum ages for deglaciation because they record the timing of sedimentary events made possible by the removal of ice. The tightest age constraints on deglaciation are those derived from cosmogenic nuclide surface exposure dating but for some sites only a single age is available. Nevertheless together these age determinations indicate that between ~18 ka and ~17 ka northwest England began to emerge from its cover of glacial ice. Valley glaciers persisted in the Lake District until ~15 ka but had probably disappeared by 14.7 ka, or shortly after, when climate warmed abruptly. A more detailed picture of the style and rate of deglaciation is likely to come in the next few years as a result of the BRITICE-CHRONO project. Keywords Deglaciation, Last Glacial Maximum, British-Irish Ice Sheet, Dating techniques, Northwest England. Introduction Interest in the glacial geomorphology and sediment The idea that glaciers had previously existed in the British stratigraphy of northwest England extends back to the and Irish Isles was proposed by Swiss geologist Louis earliest days of glacial study.

  • George Douglas Campbell Eckton
    I Great Langdale Valley, Cumbria: An Analysis of the viability of road-user charging as a Demand Management Tool for motor-vehicle dependent recreation George Douglas Campbell Eckton This thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for a Master of Arts (by Research) degree awarded by the University of Central Lancashire. November 2002 ABSTRACT This research was focused on analysing the potential application of road-user charging to the Transportation Demand Management Strategy for Great Langdale Valley in the Lake District National Park. There were three research objectives: firstly, to investigate the response of motorists to the hypothetical imposition of monetary road-user charges for entry to Great Langdale Valley (Bovaird et al, 1984); secondly, observe the impact of road-user charging on the host community of Great Langdale Valley (Holding, 1998); thirdly, to examine the suitability of the Contingent Valuation Methodology to elicit monetary preferences for road-user charging in a non-laboratory setting. The research methodology employed to elicit behavioural responses to certain price levels for road use was the Contingent Valuation Method (Mitchell and Carson, 1989). Three stakeholder samples were surveyed: visitor, resident and business operator samples. All three were administered with mail-back questionnaires containing hypothetical Contingent Valuation scenarios. Willingness To Pay (WTP) questions to elicit monetary preferences for road use were posed to the visitor and resident samples, whereas the business operator sample respondents were asked for their Willingness To Accept (WTA) a compensation payment for the potential impact of the road-user charging scheme on their trade. The research findings determined that a road-user charge would result in a considerable reduction in the visitor sample's intention to use a private motor-vehicle on the Great Langdale valley road network.

  • The Geology and Petrology of the Ennerdale
    THE GEOLOGY AND PETROLOGY OF THE ENNERDALE GRANOPHYRE. ITS__ METAMORPHIC AUREOLE __AND ASSOCIATED MINERALIZATION A Thesis presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Lewis Clark. Department of Geology, The University of Leeds. June, 1963. a b s t r a c t The E n n e r d a l e G r a n o p h y r e occurs in the Latte District between Buttermere and Wasdale. It is a stocK shaped, composite intrusion which was emplaced at the close of the Caledonian earth movements. The country rocks of the granophyre are the Borrowdale Volcanic Series and the Skiddaw Slates. The oldest rocks in the Ennerdale Granophyre are a series of dioritic rocks which have been largely metasomatised by the later granophyre magma into a series of granodioritic hybrids. Eighty percent of the outcrop of the Ennerdale Granophyre is occupied by a fine grained granophyre, the Main Granophyre. The youngest rocks associated with the granophyre: are a series of fine aplitic microgranites and rhyolitic felsites. Metamorphism by the granophyre has been very slight. The main changes in the Skiddaw Slates are a change in colour and an increase in hardness, but the slates in places in Ennerda.le have been soda—metasomatised. Macroscopic changes in the Berrowdale /olcanic Series are negligible, but there have been important mineralogicalL changes within a narrow aureole adjacent to the granophyre. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This research was made possible by the award of a D.S.I.R. Research Studentship. I am extremely grateful to the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research and Professor W.

  • GPX Collection
    GPX Collection This page holds a large number of GPX tracks or routes that you can use for ideas for walks, indicate where there are viable walks, and/or download the tracks to use The grid references are sorted alphabetically from north to south and West to East. They are only 4 digit references (expanded to 6) so they are very approximate. It is also available as an interactive PDF file - See "PDF PX Collection" sub menu. At this point (3-4-17) there are - 220 walks around Lancashire (well SD grid ref) listed below; - 60 around Cumbria (NY grid ref); - 67 mainly Scotland (N? grid refs) plus one in Austria. Just click on the name to see the walk on a google map that lets you explore the location, the height profile of the walk and local post codes. The list will be extended soon with more walks from elsewhere in the UK and perhaps elsewhere. If you record tracks on your own walks PLEASE do forward them to us if you would like them added to the list. We will processes them into the same formats as here. (There is a form to submit a walk in the sub-menu here) If the name of the GPX starts with "ztrack" then it is a record from an actual walk. i.e the track physically exists (or did) and is walkable. If it starts with "zroute" it has probably been taken from a map and known paths but there is NO guarantee that it is physically walkable. (the "z" is just a technicality.)

  • LSE Review of Books: Jenny White Reflects on the Legacy of Urania Page 1 of 7
    LSE Review of Books: Jenny White reflects on the legacy of Urania Page 1 of 7 Jenny White reflects on the legacy of Urania Jenny White reflects on the pioneering paper Urania (1916-1940), led by five feminist visionaries who sought to contest the gender binary and celebrate same sex love. The unifying legacy of Urania challenges the idea that trans and non-binary identities are something novel, and shows the longstanding interconnections and solidarities between feminism, trans rights and sapphic lives. Image Credit: Banner of Urania Nos 117 & 118, May–August 1936. Courtesy of LSE Library. Over the past decade there has been criticism of so-called ‘woke’ millennials ignoring essential truths about biological sex and promoting all sorts of new-fangled ideas about gender identities. But well over a century ago, a group of radical feminists began questioning sexual dimorphism and the rigidity of gender. In 1916 they launched a paper called Urania to explore pioneering views. Printed every two to three months, the final edition ran in 1940. Urania was the brainchild of five feminist visionaries: sapphic suffragist Esther Roper and her partner, the trade unionist, poet and playwright Eva Gore-Booth; legal expert Thomas Baty who also went by the name Irene Clyde; animal rights campaigner Jessy Wade, founder of the Cats Protection League; and novelist and Montessori champion Dorothy Cornish, who opposed the indoctrination of children into gender roles. For the editorial team Urania symbolised a genderless paradise: ‘Sex is an accident’, the founding principle; ‘There are no “men” or “women” in Urania’, their mission statement.

  • Borrowdale Valley
    BORROWDALE VALLEY INTRODUCTION Allfred Wainwright called it the fairest valley of the Lake District. Another quote from Edmund Cassons The Wise Kings of Borrowdale sums up the beauty of the dale: . .O most fair Glory of Cumberland, I worship thee. Thou art what God hath shewn us of heaven's light. With me rejoice, O Cumbrians, and praise God For the shadow of His beauty. Borrowdale, walled in part by high, sharp-edged crags, is located in Cumbrias volcanic central mountains. Stretching from the head of Derwent Water south to Seathwaite, it is the main access to the central part of the Lake District. Sty Head Pass connects Wasdale with Borrowdale. Honister Pass connects the Borrowdale and Buttermere valleys. Its glacial lake, Derwentwater, contains four islands - Derwent Island, St Herbert's Island (named after a hermit who once lived there), Lord's Island (the site of the first smelter in Keswick) and Rampsholme Island. Derwentwater was once joined to Bassenthwaite Lake until river-borne deposits silted up the section to the west of Keswick. The best way to enjoy Derwentwater is by a cruise on the Keswick Launch. Lodore Falls are an impressive sight after heavy rain, when the waters of Watendlath Beck discharge their load over the edge of the hanging valley, before escaping into Derwentwater. Edmund Casson certainly presented a romantic view of Borrowdale in his poem, "The Wise Kings of Borrowdale", and the dale continues to be a favourite with visitors in the present day. Watendlath's quiet nook. A farm is there and a slated barn, And a waterfall; and a pebbly tarn; And all the way to High Lodore The banks of the beck are painted o'er With red herb-willow and red loose-strife ARCHAEOLOGY & HISTORY The valley is distinctive for its „Borrowdale Volcanics‟ which poured (sometimes shot) out of volcanic vents above the Skiddaw Slates in Ordovician times, about 400 million years ago.
