He, with his wife Mary, had faced a long illness with courage and good humour so that he was able to end his life at home with her. They were very much family people, with four children and now many grandchildren. John was a great outdoors man. He had a big garden which he really worked at. He greatly enjoyed the fells. He led all his children to enjoy and respect the fells - with a frequent complaint that the length of the walks and heights to be climbed were always more than promised! He joined many group walks with the Fellfarers over the years and enjoyed his visits to High House. SPECIAL OFFER He worked at K Shoes and was always involving himself in something new.

Congratulations to Paul East who has now reached the summits of all 214 Wainwrights. He finished with an ascent of Lingmell. Here he is celebrating at the fine summit cairn with Rose on Tuesday 27th August 2013. Rose suggested that he now tackle a new list; perhaps the 8,000 metre summits. Shouldn’t be too difficult - there are only 14 of them in the whole world. The FellFarer No. 71 3 Half term at High House 24-26th May 2013 Sarah, Matt & Emma Jennings Bank holiday weekend at the beginning of half term was another fun weekend with friends and sunshine. On Saturday, a group of us spent a while at the hut trying to plan a walk. It quickly became apparent that the main criterion was that it ended at the ice-cream shop in Buttermere. The result was a lovely (Emma says long) walk up Grasmoor. It was a hot sunny day and our choice of route up followed the beck, sheltered from the wind and baking in the sun. We were all pleased to pop out onto the saddle into the cooling breeze.....which quickly became the freezing wind. After reaching the summit, we sped down into Buttermere, tired legs forgotten, the children running ahead to be first in the queue for ice-cream. Sunday brought more families to join us. Most of us spent the day around Jonny’s wood geocaching. There were 12 geocaches in the circuit, some trickier to find than others. One of them nearly had us stumped when we were unable to open the padlock because we had not looked at some information earlier in the walk. A bit of ingenious calculating, a lot of patience and a logical approach did the trick and we were able to tick them all off. 3 Walshes, the more energetic members of the party, decided against rambling around Jonny’s wood & instead ran/walked a large chunk of the Borrowdale fell race route......in training for a future race? As ever, the weekend was full of laughter, relaxation, fresh air and......alcohol. A typical weekend at the hut. The FellFarer No. 71 4 The Lune Valley - An Evening Walk Tuesday 4th June 2013 Words: Helen Speed Photos: Alec Reynolds Starting from the Greyhound in Halton on a beautiful sunny evening the intrepid crew, consisting of Tony, Sandra, Roger, Margaret, Fred, Jean, Val, Alec and Helen, set off first of all on a history tour at St Wilfrid’s Church. Tony told us that the Halton Cross (top and 2nd left), which stands in the churchyard, is believed to have been carved over 1000 years ago by the Vikings. After the history lesson we headed along the river Lune, past Sandra’s old employer’s premises where we stopped to look at the ‘hidden’ seated area with mosaic decoration (bottom left) by the river that Sandra used to visit in breaks from work. We walked on up the river along the bank and through gentle woodland where we viewed shows of bluebells and ramsons before continuing on to Crook o’Lune.

  • Draft Core Strategy
    South Lakeland Local Development Framework Draft Core Strategy JULY 2009 Lawrence Conway, Corporate Director (Community), South Lakeland District Council www.southlakeland.gov.uk/ldf Alternative formats of this document are available by calling 01539 733333 ext.7102 FOREWORD South Lakeland’s superb natural setting shapes the district’s image and plays a major role in its development, making it a very attractive location for residents and visitors alike. However, while the district can offer a quality of life that is second to none, it does experience problems common to many rural areas. There is a need to deliver more balanced communities and reduce inequality, including reducing dependency on high-level services and jobs in towns outside the district, increasing provision of affordable housing and developing and maintaining high-quality modern sustainable transport networks. We must also meet challenging targets laid down by central government, most notably for house building. The challenge is to secure a sustainable level and pattern of development that creates balanced communities and meets local needs whilst protecting the environment that makes the district special. The Core Strategy document sets out the development strategy for South Lakeland outside the National Park areas up to 2025. It is a long-term plan. It draws together strategies of the council and other organisations whose activities have implications for the development and use of land. It puts the aspirations of the Sustainable Community Strategy into effect – seeking to create a sustainable district that is the best possible place to live, work and visit. We are inviting representations from everybody with an interest in the future of our district.

  • On the Junction of the Silurian Rocks and Carboniferous Limestone On
    Downloaded from http://pygs.lyellcollection.org/ by guest on September 30, 2021 309 JUNCTION OF THE SILURIAN HOCKS WITH THE OVERLYING MOUNTAIN LIMESTONE, AT MOUGHTON FELL, IN RIBBL1S- DALE. BY THE EDITOR. (SEE PHOTOGRAPH.) THE photograph issued with this year's volume of proceedings, illustrates an important section exposed in the valley of the Bibble, nearly opposite the village of Horton. The Silurian rocks, composed of grits, slates and limestones, extend over a large area, bounded by the line of the Pennine Fault, running in a north and south direction, and that of the equally important series of Craven Faults which run eastward from Ingleton, their position being indicated by the precipitous Scars of GiggXeswick, Attermire, Malham, Yordale and Kilnsey. Bounded on the west and south by these Faults, the Silurian rocks underlie all the highest moun• tains in Yorkshire, forming a tolerably even base, with a general dip to the north-east. Sections exposing the junction of these rocks with the superincumbent Mountain Limestone may be seen beneath Whernside and Ingleborough, in the Ingleton and Dale Becks, and in Clapdale; underlying Cross Fell and Mickle Fell, they may be seen at High Cup Gill, and as shown by Mr. Dakyns, at the Pencil Mill, near Cronkley Scar. Penyghent, and the extensive Limestone Fells of Malham and Kilnsey also have a basement of Silurian Grits. Perhaps the finest section, showing the junction of the two formations, anywhere exposed, is the one chosen for the subject of this photograph. The Silurian Rocks have long been quarried, and are locally known as the Horton Flagstones; they are a bluish grey colour, rather coarse structure, and can be obtained of very large size.

  • February 2008: the Christmas Issue. New Year, New Races
    NewsieBlack Combe Runners February 2008: the Christmas issue. New year, new races. New beer. It came as a shock when Will asked me for some words for the Newsie, as I was now Club Captain, but knowing I can’t wriggle out, here they are. Firstly, thanks to those at the AGM for your show of faith in me seeing that I’ve only been in the club a year, and thanks to Penny for her support as Captain. Both Hazel and I have been really pleased with the reception and friendliness of all in the club over the last year and it has made a huge difference to the enjoyment we’ve had running. We all run for fun, for some it is running and chatting on a Tuesday night, for others it is racing and drinking as much as is financially viable at the weekend. Our aim has to be to maintain this and help people to take part and stretch themselves when and where they want to. This photograph was taken by Dave Watson. That’s the only explanation I can offer. Ed. The winter league races, excellently organised by Val with her mallet, have attracted a lot of interest with 26 people We had 9 wanting to run last year so it’s a reasonable having competed in the first four races, most having hope. As a number of us found out in running it for the run two or more. The overall result is still wide open, first time in 2007, it’s a great team day out, with a little particularly as Val hasn’t told us how she will handicap us running thrown in and a few beers afterwards.

Label the mountain and its height in metres. How are mountain areas shown on maps? Find out about contour lines and look at some examples on Ordnance Survey maps. • Pennines • Cumbrian Mountains • Sperrin Mountains • Grampians • Snowdonia • Dartmoor https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z849q6f/articles/z4g3qp3 QUIZ Which country is the Sperrin Range in? What is the highest mountain in the whole of the UK? Which range is the furthest south? Which parts of the UK have no mountainous areas? Which ranges are easily accessible from Bolton? Which mountain in the UK has a ski slope? Which mountain has a train going to the top? Local Study: The Pennines The Pennines are a mountain range in England. Often said to be the "backbone of England", they form an unbroken range stretching from the Peak District in the Midlands, through the Yorkshire Dales, parts of Greater Manchester, the West Pennine Moors of Lancashire and Cumbrian Fells to the Cheviot Hills on the Scottish border. Their total length is about 250 mi (402 km). The name Pennines is believed to come from the Celtic pennioroches, meaning "hill", although the earliest written reference to the name dates only from the 18th century. Altitude and size The mountains are not very tall and are often called hills. The highest is Cross Fell in eastern Cumbria, at 893 m (2,930 ft).

  • Schedule of Comments Report LTP 2
    Summary of comments and responses July 2005 Summary of Comments and Responses Summary of Comments and Responses for the Draft LTP 2 Introduction Cumbria County Council issued the Draft LTP 2 for consultation between the 11th January and the 11th March 2005 and 159 responses were subsequently received. Comments came from a range of individuals, parish councils, organisations and statutory bodies. Among the key stakeholders who responded were the six District Councils, the two national park authorities, government agencies, transport providers and regeneration bodies. The comments have been distributed to the ATAG’s allowing them to also pass on their comments on the comments and the proposed draft responses. Summary A summary of the key issues that have been raised by the respondents, together with draft responses are listed below. These reflect issues that have been raised by more than one respondent and that have potential significant implications for the Plan. Strategy Section 1: Area Transport Plans are poorly related to the rest of the LTP. They do not relate to the Core Objectives and the headings under ‘overall approach’ do not refer to the ‘shared priorities’. Public transport should be addressed in the Core Objectives. Draft Response: Each Area Plan will have a more substantial introduction to make these connections. The Shared Priorities will be referenced throughout the document using colour coding. Public transport is one of the measures that can help to address ‘accessibility’ and congestion. More explicit reference will be made to its role in the final plan. 2: Reducing the need to travel is a key national policy and should be a Core Objective.
