THE FARMERS ARMS Walk No. 3 - Muker to Ivelet Circular
THE FARMERS ARMS Walk No. 3 - Muker to Ivelet Circular Walk No. 3 – Muker to Ivelet Circular Summary A great circular walk to Ivelet via Oxnop, with spectacular views of Kisdon Hill, Oxnop Side and the villages of Muker and Gunnerside. Start: The Farmers Arms, Muker Facilities: Public Toilets at Muker Distance: 5 miles Refreshments: Muker Duration: 2 hours Difficulty: Medium – An undulating walk to Ivelet, followed by a ½ mile climb* along the road through Ivelet and past Gunnerside Lodge, returning to Muker via a stone track with spectacular views of Upper Swaledale and gradually descending down to Rampsholme footbridge and returning through the level flagged footpath through the meadows. * The climb is worth it but it can be avoided should you wish to choose the well signposted riverside footpath to Muker from Ivelet Bridge. Important Note: The first half of this walk can be very wet underfoot after heavy rainfall. Route 1) With the pub behind you turn left and follow the main road B6270 as it heads out of the village and over the bridge. Look to your right and you will see a footpath sign directing you up a track which initially runs parallel to the road, turn onto this track. 2) As you pass in between two stone barns, the track turns right and slightly downhill. You will see 2 wooden gates on your left. The second one has a footpath arrow on its crooked end (pictured below left). Follow this path. The path is quite well defined but stays reasonably close to the bottom field boundary and keeps the stone wall on your left. -
A Parasite of Red Grouse (Lagopus Lagopus Scoticus)
THE ECOLOGY AND PATHOLOGY OF TRICHOSTRONGYLUS TENUIS (NEMATODA), A PARASITE OF RED GROUSE (LAGOPUS LAGOPUS SCOTICUS) A thesis submitted to the University of Leeds in fulfilment for the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy By HAROLD WATSON (B.Sc. University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne) Department of Pure and Applied Biology, The University of Leeds FEBRUARY 198* The red grouse, Lagopus lagopus scoticus I ABSTRACT Trichostrongylus tenuis is a nematode that lives in the caeca of wild red grouse. It causes disease in red grouse and can cause fluctuations in grouse pop ulations. The aim of the work described in this thesis was to study aspects of the ecology of the infective-stage larvae of T.tenuis, and also certain aspects of the pathology and immunology of red grouse and chickens infected with this nematode. The survival of the infective-stage larvae of T.tenuis was found to decrease as temperature increased, at temperatures between 0-30 C? and larvae were susceptible to freezing and desiccation. The lipid reserves of the infective-stage larvae declined as temperature increased and this decline was correlated to a decline in infectivity in the domestic chicken. The occurrence of infective-stage larvae on heather tips at caecal dropping sites was monitored on a moor; most larvae were found during the summer months but very few larvae were recovered in the winter. The number of larvae recovered from the heather showed a good correlation with the actual worm burdens recorded in young grouse when related to food intake. Examination of the heather leaflets by scanning electron microscopy showed that each leaflet consists of a leaf roll and the infective-stage larvae of T.tenuis migrate into the humid microenvironment' provided by these leaf rolls. -

Gunnerside, Swaledale – Conservation Area Character Appraisal
Gunnerside, Swaledale – Conservation Area Character Appraisal Designated – 29 January 2002 © Crown copyright, Yorkshire Dales NPA, Licence No. 100023740 2007 1 Introduction This draft character appraisal has been prepared as part of the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority’s Conservation Area Strategy. It has been prepared by Blaise Vyner Heritage and Arts Consultancy and follows on from a guided walk and Conservation Area Workshop meeting held at Gunnerside on Saturday 20th January 2001 and further meetings on 12 June 2001 and 4 September 2001. 2 Location and setting Gunnerside is focused on the banks of the Gunnerside Beck, and cleaves to the east-west communication routes which follow the rising ground of the north valley side and which enabled the crossing of Gunnerside Gill above the flood plain of the River Swale. This situation, adopted by a number of other Swaledale villages, has rising hillsides to the north, but provides open views to the south, maximising the opportunities for daylight. The modern route through the village gives the impression of an almost linear settlement, but it is actually one with a series of focuses. The principal character of the village’s form derives from 17th century and earlier agricultural settlement, although today’s buildings owe much to the economic prosperity brought about by the lead mining industry of the 18th and 19th centuries. From the beck crossing and its approach, paths and tracks fan outwards, east and west along the Swale, and more particularly, up the valley side to Old Gang, Lownathwaite, and other lead mines and smelting mills. The tracks provides a framework upon which the settlement developed, variable in origin and structure so that now these various tracks are the most significant delineation of the various elements of the village. -
