I could not put it better; this was the introduction by Thomas Gray to our first journal in July 1899. Easily accessible, the mountains of the Lake District and North Wales have claimed a large portion of our members' holidays. Norway with its great possibilities of fresh mountaineering work has attracted us. Switzerland has filled many of the Club's evenings in past years with increasing interest, and the fascinations of her Alps and valleys, peaks and glaciers have never waned. Perhaps we are a little too late to achieve much that is new, but we are not too late to enjoy the old, and if other men still continue to make new ascents or to find new ways up mountains the Yorkshire Ramblers hope to do likewise, and to record their adventures in these pages. From stranger, wilder lands we may have tales of PICTURE PROVIDED BY MIKE SMITH stirring incident, but it is none of the Editor's business to prophesy, and he has said perhaps sufficient to indicate what the journal will attempt.

Other recollections of stupidity include a Christmas meet after weeks of miserably wet weather when we waded across a quarter of a mile of Derwentwater just to get a drink before closing time. The reactions of various landlords and their more sane customers when we appeared on the scene after such epics would fill a book all by themselves. I recall leaving the Kirkstone Inn an hour before dusk to cross over to Kentmere and missing the soup course in the process.

    Thesis, or Dissertation, for a Degree. The Doctor of Dolefulness Founder and Creator of The Lyke Wake Walk 1955 Chief Dirger Bill Cowley Much has been written about the creation of the LWW but I believe little has been written on the life and times i.e. a biography to one of Teesside's most famous sons. I was delighted but not surprised to find that this was a shared view by the authors of www.scouting milestone (Mike Ryalls and Colin Walker) Born: Middlesbrough 1915 (birth date unknown) Much of his childhood years were spent tramping the high moors, sleeping often in the heather or at a friendly farm. This was a prelude to the walking and climbing that was to dominate his adult life. From early school days he also showed a keen interest in the Boy Scouts. Bill's education started at Middlesbrough High from where he won a place to Jesus College Cambridge, and then on to the School of Oriental Studies. University years would be circa 1935 – 1937. During these years Bill was the founder of the Cambridge University Yorkshire Society. The girl who was the then secretary of the CUYC was to play an important but tragic part in Bills life. Her name was Mary Dyson. In 1936 a team from the CUYC walked part of what was to become the Cleveland Way. In 1938 Bill spent several months in France hiking around the countryside and using Paris as a base. Shortly after that he applied for and was accepted into the Civil Service, possibly the foreign division.

    RIVER QUALITY SURVEY NATIONAL RIVERS AUTHORITY NORTHUMBRIA & YORKSHIRE REGION GQA ASSESSMENT 1994 PART 1 REA CH CLASSIFICA TION FRESHWATER RIVERS AND CANALS VERSION 1: AUGUST 1995 GQA ASSESSMENT 1994 \ NORTHUMBRIA & YORKSHIRE REGION To allow the development of a National method of evaluating water quality, the rivers in all the NRA regions of England and Wales have been divided into reaches, which are numbered using a coding system based on the hydrological reference for each river basin. Each classified reach then has a chemistry sample point assigned to it and these sample points are regularly monitored for Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Dissolved oxygen (DO) and Total Ammonia. The summary statistics calculated from the results of this sampling are sent to a National Centre where the GQA Grades are calculated. A National report is produced and each region can then produce more detailed reports on the quality of their own rivers. For Northumbria and Yorkshire Region, this Regional Report has been divided into two parts. PARTI: REACH CLASSIFICATION This report contains a listing of the river reaches within the region, with their start and finish grid reference, approximate length, and the 1990 and 1994 GQA class for each reach. The reference code of the chemistry sample point used to classify the reach is also included. A sample point may classify several reaches if there are no major discharges or tributaries dividing those reaches. The sample point used to classify a reach may change and the classification is therefore calculated using the summary statistics for each sample point that has been used over the past three years.

Brown – Yorkshire’s Tramping Author The Warwick Revolving Tower at Scarborough The Long Drag The article ‘On to Ribblehead and Settle’, pages 4-19 concludes Stephen Riley’s series of articles on the Settle to Carlisle railway. The first one ‘The Highest Railway Station located in the Yorkshire Dales National Park’ is a detailed history of the Dent Railway Station (TYJ Spring 2015). His second article ‘Through the Blea Moor Tunnel and onwards’ (TYJ Summer 2015), highlights the features on the line from Dent Railway Station to the Blea Moor Tunnel. In 1962-3 a 50 minute pioneering coloured documentary film was made by members of the Halifax Cine Club titled “The Long Drag”. This film records many of the viaducts, tunnels and features that are documented in Stephen’s articles. It shows members of the club travelling by train and on foot in order to point out the most interesting structures on the Settle to Carlisle railway. What makes this documentary unique is that this film captures several railway structures that were demolished soon after it was made. It begins with the narrator explaining the history and development of the line in the 19th century. After this introduction the film team board a steam train at Hellifield Station which takes them on to Settle Station and beyond pointing out various places on the way, including, the former Craven and Murgatroyd Lime Works, Stainforth Force, Sheriff Brow Viaduct and Helwith Bridge.
