  • Chapter Three
    Chapter Three In 1906 Canon Rawnsley wrote a book entitled Months of the Lakes, which featured a chapter about Mardale and the hunt. Rawnsley didn’t’ like hunting but the following passage suggests either he actually went or interviewed someone who did, The following text is copied from the original. THE MARDALE SHEPHERDS' MEETING. There lies to the east of the great High Street range a little water flood the Roman soldiers looked on with delight, for it called them back to their own lakeland hills, but they looked on it too with awe, for its waters seemed as black as the Stygian lake they feared. Ages before the Romans ran their high street, this lake was cared for by the shepherd children of Neolithic times. Their camps, their burial grounds, their standing stones are with us on the fell sides that slope to this lake which we call Haweswater to-day. The Vikings gave it that name, for it means the Halse Water or Neck-Water, and the neck is the promontory that the Messand beck in lapse of centuries has made, that runs out from the north-west shore towards the Naddle forest, and so nearly divides the lake in two, that one end is called Low Water and the other High Water. An aerial view of the old lakes of Haweswater, notice the narrowing between high and low water, called the straits, the new road scar can be seen on the far side of the valley. One can get to the lake from Penrith up the Lowther valley or from Shap and Bampton, and when one has reached it one cannot linger by the shore if the sun is westering, for there is no house of call nearer than the Dun Bull, and this is a mile beyond Haweswater, beneath the Nan Bield Pass.

Food: Unlike normal weekend trips, food IS NOT provided within the cost of the trip. You should bring money for two pub meals, as well as food for all of your meals (dinner would be cooked, and breakfast/lunch will likely be sandwiches etc. although you are welcome to cook yourself breakfast if you want). The trip: The exact route that we will take is yet to be confirmed, but the outline is driving up on Friday afternoon, before walking to our first camping spot near Skeggles water (see picture below). Staying high, Saturday will then take us along mountains such as Kentmere Pike and Harter Fell (an extension to High Street, a major Lake District peak, is possible), before camping near Small Water (see picture above). Sunday should involve looping back to the other side of the tranquil, less-visited Longsleddale, with splendid views (weather permitting) taking in Sleddale Fell and more, before return to Oxford.

Introduction 1.1 The Place Longsleddale is a parish in the ward of Whinfell, the district of South Lakeland, the county of Cumbria, and it is in the Lake District National Park. It is bounded by the parishes of Over Staveley and Kentmere to the west; Shap Rural to the north; Fawcett Forest and Whitwell & Selside to the east; Strickland Roger to the south. The parish is an area of 2717 hectares, encompassing the upper valley of the River Sprint, 8 miles long, 2 miles wide, ranging from SD5299 to NY4607, from Garnett Bridge in the south to Harter Fell in the north. Longsleddale is a non-nucleated village, the 30 houses being scattered over 4½ miles, each sited above the flood plain, but where there is water from spring or stream all year round.

  • This Walk Description Is from Happyhiker.Co.Uk Kentmere Pike
    This walk description is from happyhiker.co.uk Kentmere Pike and Harter Fell From Longsleddale Starting point and OS Grid reference Rough car parking where the tarmac ends at Sadgill in Longsleddale (NY 484057) Ordnance Survey map OL7 The English Lakes – South Eastern Area Distance 7.4 miles Traffic light rating Introduction: Kentmere Pike is usually approached from the hamlet of Kentmere as part of the popular Kentmere Horseshoe. However, parking at Kentmere is very limited and that walk is more arduous. Longsleddale is almost a forgotten valley, quiet, tranquil and picturesque. Kentmere Pike and Harter Fell provide a respectable walk in its own right. There are great views of virtually all the main Lake District peaks from the summit of Kentmere Pike. Cross Fell and even Ingleborough in the Yorkshire Dales can also be seen. This walk is very easy to navigate and is ideally suited to anyone who is a little unsure of their navigational skills, wants to practise them or is perhaps going for a first taste of the higher Lakeland fells. It would be tempting fate to say it is impossible to get lost but there are plenty of useful navigational features en route which make it less likely. The footpath ascending Kentmere Pike itself to Harter Fell is not shown clearly on the 1:25000 OS map as a green dashed line but as a black dotted “path”. As this coincides with a wall line and a parish boundary, you need a magnifying glass to differentiate. However, the well trodden route is clear on the ground.

  • Lake District Meet
    Lake District Meet - Agnes Spence Hut, Patterdale January 2014 Arriving at the hut just after 10pm on Friday night, there was doom and gloom. John, who lives in the Lakes, had brought the weather forecast for the weekend which for all intents and purposes said that the weekend would be crap. However it turned out to be a most enjoyable and entertaining weekend; possibly one of the best meets I can remember with challenges and comedic assertions to rank with the best. We stayed at the Agnes Spencer hut which for anyone who hasn’t been is a bit of a gem not so much because of the facilities which are superb (as long as any members don’t turn) up but for the location in Patterdale at the heart of the eastern lakes. When we awoke on the Saturday morning to the sound of heavy rain, low cloud, strong winds and pretty cold temperatures, the enthusiasm for getting out of bed was to say the least low. But since we are “mountaineers” we donned appropriate gear, split into a few groups and set off for the day. John set off to do Little Mell Fell, Mike, Kris, James, Sally and I set off for an hour’s drive to do one of Birket’s ridge walks from Hawswater. When we left the hut Gill & Christine were allegedly going to for out for a walk somewhere whilst Richard set off for a run. The drive round to Hawswater was very pleasant in the nice warm car and we arrived safely at the end of the reservoir around 11am.
