Programme Updates – please avoid changing start times I am always happy to receive corrections or additional walks to fill the gaps which I can then email to the membership and the website. But please don't change start times except in an emergency. Changing start times can be worse than changing the destination. We can’t be sure that everyone is using the latest version of the programme. Digitally Enabled Buddies For expediency and to minimise distribution costs, I send the updates out as a new version of the programme within a covering email which lists what has changed. For those of you who are not digitally enabled, could I ask that you choose a digitally enabled “buddy” in the walking group who can keep you informed of any updates to the programme. It is not perfect but it should enable greater coverage than just those that I can contact by email. If you are unsure of the latest programme, you or a helpful friend can always find it at www.cravenu3a.org.uk (go to Classes, Classes T-Z, Walking Group, then click on Walk Programme for the pdf file) Cotswold Outdoor Skipton will give members a 15% discount, on production of their U3A membership. Please be discreet when claiming the discounts. Annual Lunch at the Clarendon Hotel Hebden, coordinated by Glenys, 12.30 pm on Tuesday 13th January. Next Planning and Members Meeting: 17th April at 2 pm, Soroptimists Rooms, Otley St, Skipton.

  • Part 1 Rea Ch Classifica Tion
    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.

    ENVIRONMENT AGENCY NORTH EAST REGION RIVER QUALITY SURVEY GQA ASSESSMENT 1998 DALES AREA FRESHWATER RIVERS AND CANALS RIVER REACH CLASSIFICATION SUMMARY 1990-9 JULY 1999 E n v ir o n m e n t A g e n c y NATIONAL LIBRARY & INFORMATION SERVICE NORTH EAST REGION Tyneside House. Skinnerbum Road, Newcastle Business Park. Newcastle-Upon-Tyne NE4 7AR INTRODUCTION This document contains the derived General Quality Assessment (GQA) of the rivers in Dales Area for the year 1998. The grade is based on an amalgamation of three years data and thus reflects the river chemistry over the period 1996-8. The parameters used in the classification are Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Dissolved Oxygen (DO) and Ammonia and a monitoring frequency of at least monthly is preferred. The GQA results have been calculated by the National Centre for Environmental Data and Surveillance at Twerton. There have been some discrepancies between their database of sites and ours, always a problem when such huge blocks of information are transmitted backwards and forwards. This resulted in no GQA grade being calculated for some sites. Where this has occurred I have filled in the missing grade by calculating it locally. In such circumstances this is identified by the grade being represented in lower case. You will notice that this document is slightly different to those produced in previous years in that it does not contain any maps. There are a number of reasons for this but primarily it was decided to disseminate the tabular information rapidly after it’s return from the national centre out to the areas and produce a more in depth analysis of the information later on in the year.

  • This Walk Description Is from Happyhiker.Co.Uk Scar House
    This walk description is from happyhiker.co.uk Scar House Reservoir to Little Whernside and Angram Reservoir Starting point and OS Grid reference Extensive free car parking at Scar House Reservoir (SE 068766) Ordnance Survey map Yorkshire Dales Northern and Central areas - OL30 Distance 9.8 miles Traffic light rating Introduction: Yorkshire is blessed with three Whernsides. There is “Whernside” 736 metres (2415ft) high and one of the “Three Peaks”. There is Great Whernside which by some quirk of Yorkshire logic is lower at 704 metres (2310ft) and finally we have Little Whernside at 604m (1,981 feet). Poor Little Whernside is somewhat forgotten and this walk was an attempt to rectify that. It is in effect a continuation of the Great Whernside broad ridge but most people climb Great Whernside from Kettlewell and they never get as far as Little Whernside before descending again. This walk runs along one shore of each of Scar House and Angram Reservoirs, filled by the river Nidd built to supply the Bradford area, with the ascent of Little Whernside in between. From its summit there are extensive views along Coverdale to the north and Nidderdale to the south east although they were rubbish on the day I recorded this walk! Conditions were **** (add your own expletive!). This was a shame because there would normally be great. Just one of those things. There are “groughs” (peaty gullies) and the walk can be very boggy so gaiters are recommended. Some of the bog can be quite deep so be careful where you walk. Walking poles are useful for probing! There is extensive parking at Scar House Reservoir where the walk starts.
