It was noted that the bus company intends to remove the bus service from the side of Bassenthwaite opposite the A66 on the grounds that it is not cost effective, and to provide an additional service through Thornthwaite and Braithwaite. Councillor Elizabeth Barraclough advised that, in the wintertime, the bus company receives subsidies from the County Council which, in the future, may not be forthcoming. Councillor Barraclough will be making representations to ensure that there is some bus service available on the other side of the lake. Whilst supporting this action, Councillor Anne Thoburn added that it is good that an extra bus is now being scheduled through Thornthwaite and Braithwaite as people were being left at bus stops because buses were full at busy times. 174/11 – PORTINSCALE RESOLVED that the following information be received and noted and the following actions will be taken: 1. GRIT BIN Councillor Davidson advised that Doug Lowther will dig out the bank in the Dorothy Well Road area, to position the newly received Grit Bin.

  • 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.

RIVER DERWENT CATCHMENT BOARD It is barely a hundred years since the artificial draining of Agricultural land in Great Britain was systematically taken in hand because the growth of population increased the demand for food. At first everybody concerned put his energies into "field drainage" while the effect upon main rivers was not considered, but as time went on and towns absorbed all the increase in population (which is now four times as great as that of 1811) the effect of Land Drainage became evident, and floods of the greater rivers grew more sudden and were the cause of serious inconvenience to the population dwelling in the houses along their banks.

  • 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 last couple of miles are single-track road. Level: Moderate Distance: 12 miles Leader: Ian Sun 13th Oct 2013: Cumbria/Lancashire: Arnside, Gait Barrow Nature Reserve, Fairy Steps and Beetham Tower Description: A relaxing Sunday walk around one of my favourite areas of the country, the Silverdale/Arnside Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. A relatively easy walk with a bit of up and down, starting in Arnside. A walk full of variety and contrast with a mix of mossland, woodland, nature reserve (Gait Barrow), small lake (Haweswater), history (Hazelslack Tower), limestone steps (Fairy Steps) and architecture (Dallam Tower) and return along an old railway track that follows the Kent estuary from Sandside back to Arnside. Start point: Arnside Level: Easy/Moderate Distance: 10 miles Leader: Jay Sun 20th Oct 2013: Peak District: Mam Tor, Hollins Cross, Back Tor, Lose Hill Description: A scenic ridge walk starting at the car park, climbing up hill to Mam Tor.
