    My 214 Story Name: Christopher Taylor Membership Number: 3812 First Fell Climbed

    My 214 Story Name: Christopher Taylor Membership number: 3812 First fell climbed: Coniston Old Man, 6 April 2003 Last fell climbed: Great End, 14 October 2019 I was a bit of a late-comer to the Lakes. My first visit was with my family when I was 15. We rented a cottage in Grange for a week at Easter. Despite my parents’ ambitious attempts to cajole my sister Cath and me up Scafell Pike and Helvellyn, the weather turned us back each time. I remember reaching Sty Head and the wind being so strong my Mum was blown over. My sister, 18 at the time, eventually just sat down in the middle of marshy ground somewhere below the Langdale Pikes and refused to walk any further. I didn’t return then until I was 28. It was my Dad’s 60th and we took a cottage in Coniston in April 2003. The Old Man of Coniston became my first summit, and I also managed to get up Helvellyn via Striding Edge with Cath and my brother-in-law Dave. Clambering along the edge and up on to the still snow-capped summit was thrilling. A love of the Lakes, and in particular reaching and walking on high ground, was finally born. Visits to the Lakes became more regular after that, but often only for a week a year as work and other commitments limited opportunities. A number of favourites established themselves: the Langdale Pikes; Lingmoor Fell; Catbells and Wansfell among them. I gradually became more ambitious in the peaks I was willing to take on.

    Netherbeck Horseshoe Including Middle Fell, Steeple and Red Pike a Walk Proposed by Walking Britain

    Netherbeck Horseshoe including Middle Fell, Steeple and Red Pike A walk proposed by Walking Britain This Lake District walk is strenuous including seven summits in what can be a tiring day. Good navigational skills are essential when visibility is poor. The rewards for the hard work are numerous and you will enjoy many wonderful lakeland panaoramas completing the walk. Walk No. 293081 Calculated time : 8h50 Difficulty : Difficult Return to the departure Distance : 10.79mi Yes point : Vertical gain : 4426ft Activity : Walking Vertical drop : 4419ft Region : Lake District Highest point : 2720ft Location : Wasdale Lowest point : 217ft Description (D)From the car park (grid ref. NY167068), head Southwest along the Waypoints Wasdale Road passing over Netherbeck Bridge. Continue along the road, with some excellent retrospective views to the Scafells, until you reach a S/F Start: Overbeck bridge car park road junction (grid ref. NY151053). Turn right here and follow the road until N 54.450429° / W 3.285381° - alt. 236ft - mi 0 just short of Greendale. Take the wide grassy footpath on your right that 1 Middle Fell leads eventually up to Greendale Tarn. Gaining height you eventually reach N 54.453697° / W 3.311667° - alt. 1873ft - mi 3.16 a point where the path forks as the gorge begins to narrow. Here go right 2 Seatallan and start the ascent of Middle Fell. N 54.463779° / W 3.328691° - alt. 2238ft - mi 4.57 (1)The onward path, rather feint in places, leads you onto the broad summit 3 Haycock ridge with a large cairn providing evidence of the highest spot.
  • Trusmadoor and Other Cumbrian `Pass' Words

    Trusmadoor and Other Cumbrian `Pass' Words

    Trusmadoor and Other Cumbrian `Pass' Words Diana Whaley University of Newcastle Nobody ever sang the praises of Trusmadoor, and it's time someone did. This lonely passage between the hills, an obvious and easy way for man and beast and beloved by wheeling buzzards and hawks, has a strange nostalgic charm. Its neat and regular proportions are remarkable—a natural `railway cutting'. What a place for an ambush and a massacre!1 No ambushes or massacres are promised in the following pages, but it will be argued that the neglected name of Trusmadoor holds excitements of a quieter kind. I will consider its etymology and wider onomastic and historical context and significance, and point to one or possibly two further instances of its rare first element. In the course of the discussion I will suggest alternative interpretations of two lost names in Cumbria. Trusmadoor lies among the Uldale Fells in Cumbria, some five miles east of the northern end of Bassenthwaite Lake (National Grid Reference NY2733). An ascending defile, it runs south-east, with Great Cockup to its west and Meal Fell to the north-east. The top of the pass forms a V-shaped frame for splendid views north over the Solway Firth some twenty miles away. Trusmadoor is a significant enough landscape feature to appear on the Ordnance Survey (OS) One Inch and 1:50,000 maps of the area, yet it is unrecorded, so far as I know, until its appearance on the First Edition Six Inch OS map of 1867. In the absence of early spellings one would normally be inclined to leave the name well alone, a practice followed, intentionally or not, by the editors of the English Place-Name Society survey of Cumberland.2 However, to speakers or readers of Welsh the name is fairly transparent.

WISTOW CRAG Mosedale 550m NY 176 115 S An obscure crag, it can reputedly be seen from a yard of the Wasdale Head Hotel, and appears as a small, dark patch on the southern slope of Pillar Fell (along with many others). The climbing is on three tiers. The Lower Buttress is vegetated, but the climbing is fairly clean. The Middle and Upper Buttresses give short pitches but no definite routes. To reach the crag, follow Mosedale Beck as for Wind Gap, then when below what you believe to be the crag, strike up the unpleasant hill side. Route 1 47m S Start on the left side of the Lower Buttress.
