Starting in the pretty town of Ambleside, the Windermere Way is made up of four distinct day walks which are all linked by ferries across the Lake. So you not only get to enjoy some wonderful walking but can also sit back and relax on some beautiful ferry journeys across Lake Windermere! The Windermere Way is a twin-centre walking holiday combining 2 nights in the lively lakeside town of Ambleside with 3 nights in the bustling Bowness-on-Windermere. Each day you will do a different walk and use the Windermere Ferries to take you to or from Ambleside or Bowness. From Ambleside, you will catch your first ferry to the lovely lakeside town of Bowness, where you will begin walking. Over the next four days you will take in highlights such as the magnificent views from Wansfell Pike, the glistening Loughrigg Tarn, and some delightful lakeshore walking. Most of the time you are walking on well maintained paths and trails and this is combined with some easy sections of road walking. Sometimes you will be climbing high up into the hills and at others you will be strolling along close to the lake on nice flat paths. Tour: Windermere Way Code: WESWW The Windermere Way includes hand-picked overnight accommodation in high quality B&B’s or Type: Self-Guided Walking Holiday guesthouses in Ambleside and Bowness.

Spring’s blue sky After a miserable winter with newspapers and television screens filled with semi-coherent tweets from a certain Presidential ego-maniac, not to mention pre-and post-Brexit self-inflicted gloom and despondency, Spring is finally here and with it the chance of some decent weather and longer days to enjoy the Yorkshire Dales – just voted Britain’s favourite National Park. And what better way than to escape our rubbish-filled electronic screens by exploring that same National Park by walking, or maybe re-walking, part or all the Dales Way? Thankfully the long saga of flood damage problems on the Dales Way in Cumbria is now all behind us. Thanks to the hard work of so many rangers, footpath officers, contractors and National Park and other volunteers, almost all the Dales Way is now fully re-opened for walking. You will read elsewhere of what has been achieved over the autumn and winter. In fact, there is especially good news from Burneside as exciting plans forming the vibrant, community-led Burneside Vision to develop the village as a community-led eco- and visitor-friendly place to call in or stay on the Dales Way begin to be rolled out. Top news is a new small brewery at Bowston, north of the village alongside the River Kent, waiting to welcome walkers, which is also planned to soon have a walkers’ and cyclists’ cafe and a shop.

Indian Infancy covers the years in India from my birth in December 1941 to my return to England in 1947. Dorset Days and Dragon Days (with Jamie Bruce Lockhart) cover my life from 1947 to 1954 in Dorset and 1955 at the Dragon School. My own account of the Dragon experience is in Becoming a Dragon. Lakeland Life describes my home life in the Lake District from 1954 to 1960 and is paralleled by Sedbergh Schooldays, an account of my time at Sedbergh School in Yorkshire 1955-60. Later volumes will take the story on to Oxford University for six years and beyond. All of the volumes are principally based on contemporary documents, especially letters written by members of the family. This volume is based on several sets of letters, my mother’s to me and to my father (when she was away from him on home leave), my letters to my parents and my sister Fiona’s letters to my parents.

  • Burneside, Staveley, Ings & Upstream Measures Update
    Kent Catchment Flood Risk Management Scheme Update Burneside, Staveley, Ings, and upstream measures February 2021 The Environment Agency has proposed a three phase Flood Risk Management Scheme to better protect residential and business properties from flooding in the Kent catchment. We are starting our detailed design phase for Burneside, Staveley, Ings and the upstream storage locations. Below is a snaptshot of some of these benefits being delivered as part of the three phase scheme; 1480 1151 82 Homes better protected Businesses employing Community facilities 6,105 people better protected better protected £800k £ 3666 55 Secured to deliver NFM New trees planted – six new Hectares of habitat & in the Kent Catchment trees planted for every one recreational space improved removed Background Kendal, Burneside, Staveley, and Ings have a long history of flooding which was experienced most recently during Storm Desmond in 2015, when 2,276 homes and businesses were flooded. Since then, the Environment Agency along with Cumbria County Council, South Lakeland District Council, United Utilities, and other professional partners includingConstruction the local community, identified over 60 different options to address the complex flood issues thatstarts affect the catchment. Each option was considered for their technical feasibility, economic viability, environmental sustainability, and social acceptability. The preferred option was presented at a public meeting in Kendal Town Hall on the 26th September 2018. The preferred option takes a catchment based approach, and will be delivered in three phases. The scheme includes a combination of linear defences, improved pumping and conveyance, upstream storage, and complimentary Natural Flood Management interventions. Once the three-phase scheme is complete, 1480 homes and 1151 business in Kendal, Burneside, Staveley, and Ings will be better protected, reducing the flood risk to a 1 in 100yr standard of protection or a 1% chance of flooding in any given year.
