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.

The Fairfield Horseshoe, Wansfell and Orrest Head a Weekend Walking Adventure for London-Based Hikers
The Fairfield Horseshoe, Wansfell and Orrest Head A weekend walking adventure for London-based hikers 1 of 24 www.londonhiker.com Introduction A classic Lake District circular ridge walk starting from the town of Ambleside, the Fairfield Horseshoe takes in several Wainwright fells and will certainly blow the cobwebs away as you follow the 'horseshoe' round. This is one of the Lake District's most famous day walks, starting from Ambleside in the heart of the Lakes, and it offers gorgeous views of Lake Windermere, and many fells around. On Day 2, walk to Windermere via the spectacular viewpoints Wansfell Pike and Orrest Head, which inspired Wainwright to move to the Lake district. This weekend is based in one location so you will not have to carry your luggage on your hike, apart from on Day 2 when you will walk to Windermere. Summary You'll travel up to Ambleside in the evening, potentially after work, or if you prefer, travelling in the afternoon. On Day 1 you will walk the Fairfield Horseshoe, a classic ridge walk. On Day 2 you will climb up Wansfell Pike and then walk to Orrest Head at Windermere, where you can catch the train back home and be back in your own bed in the evening. You could extend the weekend to three days, by staying an extra night in Ambleside and spending some time exploring the local area on Day 2, then walking to Windermere on Day 3 instead. Some suggestions are provided for extending the weekend by an extra day. Highlights • The achievement of having competed the famous Horseshoe walk and eight of Wainwright's fells to boot (not sure who Wainwright is? Find out more here).

Walk Over Wansfell Pike to Ambleside Via Stock Ghyll
WALK OVER WANSFELL PIKE TO AMBLESIDE VIA STOCK GHYLL FORCE DISTANCE: 4.1 Miles ASCENT 420m GRADE Moderate, walking boots required TIME: 2 1/2 - 3 HOURS Plus return REFRESHMENTS: Plenty in Ambleside Overview of Walk: This walk is quite a climb over the back of Wansfell, but you are rewarded with wonderful views of Ambleside and the Langdales . You can take a brief detour just before you return to Ambleside to see Stock Ghyll Force a spectacular 70ft waterfall. The walk starts from the Cottage and ends in Ambleside – the return to Brockhole opposite the cottage is achieved through a frequent bus service on the main road or following the route of the walk described through Skeghyll woods DANGER NOTE: The descent from Wansfell Pike is steep and can be slippery in wet conditions. The paths around Stock Ghyll Force can be slippery especially in Autumn when the leaves have fallen. The paths over the back of Wansfell can be difficult to find in misty conditions, do not attempt this walk in low cloud cover unless you are confident with a map and compass. Dog walkers : There are some steep stiles which can be a problem for arthritic old dogs ! Cottage to Wansfell Walk Description: 1. From the cottage go through the gate and turn left and follow the path into the woods behind the cottage gardens. Continue on the path until you cross over a beck and enter a surfaced road. Turn left here and very shortly the footpath becomes a loose stone path as it rises steeply uphill, with your first decent glimpse of Lake Windermere on your right.

Appleby Archaeology January 2011 the Annual General Meeting Of
Appleby Archaeology January 2011 The Annual General Meeting of Appleby Archaeology held in January was followed by the Members Evening when the speaker was Dr Stephen Walker. Stephen, who became a member of the group in 2010, grew up in Kirby Stephen and has now returned to live there, spoke on his research into The Origins of the The Nine Standards. The Nine Standards are located near the summit of Hartley Fell known as Nine Standards Rigg and have fascinated Stephen for a long time. In 2008 he published his book Nine Standards: Ancient Cairns or Modern Folly? The book is described as “a well-researched and entertaining account of all that is known about the nine stone monuments which stand on the skyline above Kirkby Stephen.” Stephen spoke briefly on his documentary research and continued, using excellent slides to consider why and when they were built. The first step was to try and find out what was known about the monuments and he began by reviewing the documentary evidence. The historical records that were studied included maps, charters, boundary rolls and perambulations. Maps record the existence of the Nine Standards as far back as the late17th or early 18th century but the first mention of them appears to have been around 1138 in documents associated with the Gant family of Swaledale. It is possible that the Nine Standards were boundary markers on the contested landscape of Upper Swaledale. In 504AD there is a reference in Old Welsh sources to a battle site north west of York called “toothed mountains” and this may refer to Nine Standards Rigg with the projecting stone monuments appearing like teeth on the horizon.

Fell End Clouds Near Kirkby Stephen
Fell End Clouds near Kirkby Stephen County/Area - Cumbria Author - Lou Johnson Length - 3.0 miles / 4.9 km Ascent - 550 feet / 167 metres Grade - easy Start - OS grid reference NY733005 Lat 54.399262 / Long -2.412767 Postcode CA17 4LL (approx. location only) This easy walk explores an area of limestone country that adjoins the western slopes of Wild Boar Fell. Besides the immediate interest provided by the limestone outcrops and pavements you get some fine views across the surrounding countryside including the Eden Valley, the Howgill Fells and northern slopes of Baugh Fell which lies above Dentdale. The start is at grid ref NY734005 where parking is available in an old quarry on the minor road formerly known as "the Street". This minor road is signed Ulldale and Fell End off the A683 Sedbergh to Kirkby Stephen Road. After parking walk towards the main road. On your right there is a stone wall. Leave the minor road just before the wall and follow a track that twists and turns up towards a ridge. In places the track is rather vague but it becomes more obvious as height is gained. The OS Explorer map provides good guidance. As you climb the views improve with the track eventually reaching a col (grid ref. NY742001). Ahead lies rough moorland that forms the western slopes of Wild Boar Fell. Turn right (southwest) along the ridge aiming for a large prominent cairn. Across the valley to your right lie the Howgill Fells with Harter Fell the dominant summit in the foreground. Beyond you can see the hump backed hills that are so typical of the Howgills.
