The walk today is a circular walk starting from the Roddlesworth Information Centre. This very pleasant walk visits the deep wooded valley of Roddlesworth and then climbs to the airy heights of Darwen Moors and Darwen Tower. It takes in the ruins of an old manor house and, if you have a good head for heights and appreciate a stunning view of Lancashire, there is the 86 ft Darwen Tower to climb. We start by heading away from Darwen Tower and enter the woodlands of the T ockholes Plantation. Within the woods we will be able to wander around the ruins of the Manor House, once owned by the Hollinshead family. We now walk uphill to the track that takes us along the flank of Cartridge Hill. Towards the top of the hill we are a ble (weather permitting) to view a panorama of the Lake District mountains and North Wales. We leave this track and head north on a trail that takes us to Darwen Tower. Here if you wish you may climb the tower, which was completed in 1898 to commemorate Qu een Victoria’ s Diamond Jubilee. We now make our way downhill, along the Witton Weavers Way. Turning off the Weavers Way we complete our walk along field tracks back to our start . 7th October 2019 Monday – ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING to be held at the Over 60’s Club, Priory Lane, Penwortham PR1 0AR at 7.30pm - All welcome 10th October Thursday B Walk Brinscall with Dorothy & Chris 7½ miles (12.7km) Undulating Meet at Brinscall Baths (Sat Nav: PR6 8QU), ready for the usual start time of 10.30am.

Perhaps in this manner we set out from the Old Dungeon Ghyll, with a brisk hike up The Band to clear the cobwebs before we reach the summit of Bowfell with a short scramble. A short trek via Ore Gap takes us to Esk Pike. From both summits we can view every major group of fells in the Lake District. Down to Esk Hause before a climb through a boulder field to Scafell Pike, England´s highest summit. From here we take the Corridor Route to Sty Head then passing Allen Crags and Rossett Pike and onto the Cumbria Way to return entranced by the delights of our hike. Grade B+ High Raise & the Langdale Pikes with Colin Manning 6¾ miles (10.9km) with 2700ft (822m) Total Ascent Today´s walk is a throwback to the one I lead in 2011, which went down hugely well with all who came with me. Whilst more climbing than normal for a B+climbing, it is a short one, with plenty of time to contemplate, and is one of the classics of the Lake District including 7 Wainwright Hills. We start our walk from the New Dungeon Ghyll Hotel and immediately begin our ascent towards Loft Crag via Mark Gate. Once we reach the base of Loft Crag we are between all three of the Langdale Pikes. We go up Loft Crag (2231ft/680m) and follow the path round to the base of Pike O´Stickle (2326ft/709m). Pike O´Stickle involves a bit of a scramble but it is only a short climb. This option can be omitted in bad weather or for anyone not wishing to do it. From here we head for the highest of the Langdales, Harrison Stickle (2415ft/736m). This summit does not require any scrambling and is a most impressive peak. This is the second highest point of our walk and the hardest work is now done. After a short stop or possibly lunch break we head down a short distance to our next peak, Pavey Ark (2297ft/700m), atop the challenging Jack´s Rake. We now cut back to head for Thunacar Knott (2372ft/723m) before our final notable ascent to the summit of High Raise, the highest point of the walk at 2500ft/762m. A stop here for photo opportunities and refreshment before turning back to head for our final summit, Sergeant Man (2395ft/730m). Now it´s all downhill. The path here starts well enough but becomes less clear until we reach the tarn, so care will be taken to keep together so that we don´t stray from the route. Once we reach the tarn it is a rocky, but scenic, descent down the side of Stickle Ghyll waterfalls to the coaches and refreshment. Grade B Skelwith Bridge to New Dungeon Hotel via Cathedral Cave with Barry Mather 7.5 miles (12.07km) with 1100ft (335.28m) Total Ascent Leaving Skelwith Bridge we pass Skelwith Force and after crossing the footbridge over the River Rothay we join the Cumbria Way to Park Farm then onto Colwith Force. Staying on the Cumbria Way we head for Stang End then visit the spectacular Cathedral Cave. After crossing Slater Bridge we have a gradual ascent passing Dale End on the way to Baysbrown Wood and onto Oak house. Crossing Great Langdale Beck we head to the New Dungeon Hotel for some well deserved refreshments! Grade C Skelwith Bridge to the New Dungeon Hotel with Joyce Bradbury 5.98 miles (9.6km) with 432ft (132m) Total Ascent We leave the coach at Skelwith Bridge and take the usual path past Skelwith Force to Elterwater. We cross Langdale Beck, then up to the quarry and along the path to Chapel Stile. A probable lunch stop here before we climb briefly away from the road to follow the Cumbria Way to Oak Howe before the rough track up and over to Side House. No need for haste as we have plenty of time. (If anyone wishes they could leave us here and follow the path down to the coach.) We now leave the Cumbria Way to follow a permissive path south westwards below Side Pike. (Two good but large stiles I´m afraid!) We then turn northwards to drop down through a wood and a camp site to the Old Dungeon Ghyll Hotel before following the beck back to the coach. Just a reminder – NO DOGS are allowed on any walks Please remove muddy boots before boarding the coach and check that you take all your belongings with you. Thank you Please Note – Walk Details must be in ONE WEEK before each coach excursi on .

  • Grasmere & the Central Lake District
    © Lonely Planet Publications 84 Grasmere & the Central Lake District The broad green bowl of Grasmere acts as a kind of geographical junction for the Lake District, sandwiched between the rumpled peaks of the Langdale Pikes to the west and the gentle hummocks and open dales of the eastern fells. But Grasmere is more than just a geological centre – it’s a literary one too thanks to the poetic efforts of William Wordsworth and chums, who collectively set up home in Grasmere during the late 18th century and transformed the valley into the spiritual hub of the Romantic movement. It’s not too hard to see what drew so many poets, painters and thinkers to this idyllic corner LAKE DISTRICT LAKE DISTRICT of England. Grasmere is one of the most naturally alluring of the Lakeland valleys, studded with oak woods and glittering lakes, carpeted with flower-filled meadows, and ringed by a GRASMERE & THE CENTRAL GRASMERE & THE CENTRAL stunning circlet of fells including Loughrigg, Silver Howe and the sculptured summit of Helm Crag. Wordsworth spent countless hours wandering the hills and trails around the valley, and the area is dotted with literary landmarks connected to the poet and his contemporaries, as well as boasting the nation’s foremost museum devoted to the Romantic movement. But it’s not solely a place for bookworms: Grasmere is also the gateway to the hallowed hiking valleys of Great and Little Langdale, home to some of the cut-and-dried classics of Lakeland walking as well as one of the country’s most historic hiking inns.

  • Wainwright's Central Fells
    Achille Ratti Long Walk - 22nd April 2017 – Wainwright’s Central Fells in a day by Natasha Fellowes and Chris Lloyd I know a lot of fell runners who are happy to get up at silly o'clock to go for a day out. I love a day out but I don't love the early get ups, so when Dave Makin told me it would be a 4am start this time for the annual Achille Ratti Long Walk, the idea took a bit of getting used to. The route he had planned was the Wainwright's Central Fells. There are 27 of them and he had estimated the distance at 40 ish miles, which also took some getting used to. A medium Long Walk and a short Long Walk had also been planned but I was keen to get the miles into my legs. So after an early night, a short sleep and a quick breakfast we set off prompt at 4am in cool dry conditions from Bishop’s Scale, our club hut in Langdale. Our first top, Loughrigg, involved a bit of a walk along the road but it passed quickly enough and we were on the top in just under an hour. The familiar tops of Silver Howe and Blea Rigg then came and went as the sun rose on the ridge that is our club's back garden. I wondered whether anyone else at the hut had got up yet. The morning then started to be more fun as we turned right and into new territory for me.

  • Newsletter 155 Colour for E-Neslwetter
    QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER Newsletter No. 155 Autumn 2016 Chorley and District Natural History Society is a Registered Charity: Registration Number 513466 THE NOTIFICATION OF THE WEST PENNINE MOORS AS A SITE OF SPECIAL SCIENTIFIC INTEREST (SSSI) It has been a notable summer on the West Pennine Moors (WPM) with a host of locally scarce, or previously unrecorded upland specialities reported. Botanically, the consolidation or spread of existing restricted populations of Moonwort, Great Sundew, Royal Fern, Round-leaved Sundew and Bell Heather were noted whilst in many areas, vast carpets of Cranberry fruited in abundance. Highlights were the locating of new colonies of Marsh Andromeda, Cowberry and Labrador Tea, whilst pride of place went to the discovery of Many- stalked Spike-rush, a native perennial new to the WPM. Great Sundew, Belmont Moor 30 th August 1 Bilberry Bumblebee, Belmont 23 rd June Moving away from vascular plants, a population of the upland specialist Bilberry Bumblebee was confirmed at Belmont and whilst Adder numbers in the east of the WPM were down, a male seen in the west by a competent observer in August, confirmed the continuing presence of a relict population there. The WPM is well known for its important breeding bird populations, particularly of waders and gulls, and 2016 was no exception; with the highpoints probably being the ten species of breeding wader across the area and the fledging of at least 38 juvenile Mediterranean Gulls from within the UK’s largest Black-headed Gullery at Belmont. 2 However, eclipsing all of the above and further to the announcement in the CDNHS February Newsletter (no.

  • The Lake District
    countrywalkers.com 800.234.6900 England: The Lake District Flight + Tour Combo Itinerary Wandering clouds cross the halcyon skies above Grasmere, casting shadows on the lonely fells. Wordsworth called this “the loveliest spot that man hath ever found”; who could possibly disagree? It’s hard not to wax poetic when your Lake District walking tour leads past rushing creeks, brooding peaks, glassy lakes, and ancient oaks wrapped in morning mist. This afternoon you’re bound for Wordsworth’s Rydal Mount estate, where the poet’s beloved daffodils and dozens of other blooms brighten the luxuriant grounds. Later you’ve got your own estate to retreat to. Your inn the next three nights is one of Beatrix Potter’s former country homes—fitting start to the journey’s next chapter. Highlights Glimpse the life of a literary legacy on a tour of poet William Wordsworth’s country home, Rydal Mount, in the heart of the Lake District. Watch gorgeous scenery unfold as you glide across Derwent Water lake aboard a Victorian wood- paneled ferryboat. Follow in historical footsteps as you walk past ancient slate mines along paths built by long- forgotten quarrymen. Traverse a magnificent countryside of rolling hills and tranquil lakes, which has inspired artists, authors, and poets for centuries. 1 / 8 countrywalkers.com 800.234.6900 Activity Level This tour is one of our Guided Walking Adventures, rated easy to moderate with more challenging options on some days, and with an average of 4 to 6 miles per day.
