  • Wainwright's Central Fells
    Achille Ratti Long Walk - 22nd April 2017 – Wainwright’s Central Fells in a day by Natasha Fellowes and Chris Lloyd I know a lot of fell runners who are happy to get up at silly o'clock to go for a day out. I love a day out but I don't love the early get ups, so when Dave Makin told me it would be a 4am start this time for the annual Achille Ratti Long Walk, the idea took a bit of getting used to. The route he had planned was the Wainwright's Central Fells. There are 27 of them and he had estimated the distance at 40 ish miles, which also took some getting used to. A medium Long Walk and a short Long Walk had also been planned but I was keen to get the miles into my legs. So after an early night, a short sleep and a quick breakfast we set off prompt at 4am in cool dry conditions from Bishop’s Scale, our club hut in Langdale. Our first top, Loughrigg, involved a bit of a walk along the road but it passed quickly enough and we were on the top in just under an hour. The familiar tops of Silver Howe and Blea Rigg then came and went as the sun rose on the ridge that is our club's back garden. I wondered whether anyone else at the hut had got up yet. The morning then started to be more fun as we turned right and into new territory for me.

  • Patterdale to Howtown ROUTE
    Patterdale to Howtown and back on the steamer The scenic combination of lakes surrounded by steep-sided mountains is one of the things that makes the Lake District such a special place. One of the best examples of this type of landscape is the eastern shore of Ullswater. The craggy flanks of Place Fell sweep down to the blue waters of the lake. In a perfect visual balance the mix of trees, scree, crags and open fell is a delight to walk through. No roads or constructed routes penetrate this wild corner. Just an old bridleway paved with rough stones and edged with moss fringed rocks. The walk along this bridleway is a relaxed affair, particularly when you combine it with a return journey on the elegant lake steamer. The route is easy to follow on the ground but some parts are a bit rough so make sure you dress accordingly. There are plenty of idyllic picnic spots for lunch, or alternatively you could set off early enough and grab lunch in the pleasant Howtown Hotel at the end of the walk before you catch the steamer. Grade: Easy Start/Finish: Pier car park near Glenridding, Ullswater, GR NY390169 Distance: 6.6 miles (10.7km) Time: 3-4 hours Height gain: 225m Terrain: lake side, roads, farm access track, stony bridleway, woodland and pasture. Maps: OS Landranger 90, OS Explorer OL5, Harveys’ Superwalker (1:25 000) Lakeland East, British Mountain Maps Lake District (1:40 000). 1. From the car park follow the A592 South towards Patterdale. It is narrow in parts so make use of the permissive paths on either side.

  • The Art of Julian Cooper
    STEPHEN GOODWIN The Art of Julian Cooper (Plate 28) hen Tony Blair opened the National Mountaineering Exhibition at W the subterranean Rheged Centre, near Penrith, the declaratory, ribbon-cutting bit of the ceremony was the unveiling of Scafell Crag, a monumental painting by the Ambleside artist and AC member Julian Cooper. The five-metre-high canvas hangs in the steel and glass atrium by the entrance to the exhibition, its heavily textured surface of oils over a gritty ground-layer, a piece of the living rock brought indoors. The Prime Minister gazed up at it briefly in the unseeing way public figures do when duty obliges them to unveil a work of art they do not understand. He had described the exhibition as 'fantastic' and was impressed by the coincidence that at the moment in 1953 when he - the infant Blair - came into the world at an Edinburgh hospital, his guide at Rheged, George Band, had been in a tent on the Khumbu icefall with Tenzing Norgay, opening the way for the first ascent of Everest. But neither art nor mountains are among Mr Blair's passions and at Rheged the prime ministerial mind was elsewhere, on the angry farmers bellowing abuse outside the centre. Foot and mouth still plagued Cumbria. He certainly did not notice Julian Cooper at the back of the launch party throng, insisting over and again 'but it's not finished'.
