Here we bear east to Knott Hill and Lower and Higher Greystonely. Still in the same direction, we pass Fair Oak and eventually reach New Laund Hill. At this point we have wonderful views over the Hodder Valley looking towards Whitewell. Turning west we head to Tunstall Ing, Dinkling Green Farm, Parkgate, Birchen Lee and back to Chipping. Sun 17 May Yarrow Valley C Walk with Derek Lowe Meet at Birkacre Visitor Centre just off the Chorley to Coppull Road Distance 6 ½ undulating miles / 10.5km We start our walk climbing gently up Burgh Hall Road past the Waste Disposal Centre, over Birkacre Moor and through the Weldbank Estate to reach Weldbank School. At this point a new by-pass has been built which we have to follow to reach Big Wood. We enter Big Wood by a gate and drop down to the River Yarrow which we follow to the right until we come to a footbridge. On the far side we follow field paths and wood paths to reach Big Lodge and the Visitors Centre. Once again I have booked the weather. Have a nice day! Sun 14 J une Ribchester B Walk with Dorothy Shackleton Meet at the village car park Map & Compass Course Due to unforeseen circumstances this course will not now take place. nd Reminder: Crown Green Bowling: Thursday 2 July In view of the present increased number of walkers, we advise early booking and payment to avoid disappointment. Seat belts are a legal requirement. Please use them. Dogs must be kept on the lead at all times. The coaches are non-smoking areas. Editor: Maurice Bradbury Please note – All Walk details must be in 2 (TWO) weeks before each coach excursion. Today’s Walks Today’s starting points: 1. A, B+: Troutbeck (A66) 2.C: 3. B: Threlkeld Bowscale Fell & Blencathra with Graham Hogg Grade A Distance 11miles / 17.7km Climbing 2625ft / 800m . In the past we have usually climbed Blencathra from Threlkeld. Well today, I thought we would try something a little different. Starting at the Roman Camp, just off the A66(T) at Troutbeck, we first head northwest to Mungrisdale. After following the River Glenderamackin for a short while we have a steep ascent up the Tongue to the summit of Bowscale Fell (2303 ft / 702m). From here, we continue to Bannerdale Crags, then to Atkinson Pike before pushing on to the summit of Blencathra (2848ft / 868m). A traverse of the summit ridge leads us to Blease Fell, where we have a steep descent into Threlkeld. The Mell Fells with Tony Ingham Grade B+ Distance 8¾ miles / 14.1km Climbing 1900ft / 580m Alighting from the coaches at the A66(T)/A5091 junction at Troutbeck, we head south a short distance down the A5091 before leaving it to follow a path along a rifle range, now disused (honest!), to reach the foot of Great Mell Fell. We climb steeply to the top (1760ft / 537m). We then descend south eastwards, rather less steeply, to Brownrigg Farm and, from there, go east along field paths and a minor road to Lowthwaite. Continuing eastwards to The Hause we climb steeply to the trig point at the top of Little Mell Fell (1675ft / 505m). We descend by the same permissive path before heading north on a cart-track alongside the fell to Thackthwaite. From there we proceed to Stoddah and on through fields to Penruddock where the coach will pick us up, suitably refreshed, at the Herdwick Inn. When I recced this walk on a fine, sunny day in Easter Week, I surprisingly met only one other walker all day. This is not something I have often experienced in the Lake District, yet it is an attractive and interesting walk. Latrigg with Dorothy Dobson Grade B Distance 9 miles / 14.5km Climbing1200ft / 366m Despite being dwarfed by Skiddaw and Blencathra, Latrigg, in good weather, offers breathtaking views over Derwent Water, Cat Bells and beyond. Let’s hope we are lucky with the day’s weather! We begin in Threlkeld (toilets) by taking the footpath by the school and heading in a westerly direction across the fields to Ings, Wescoe Farm and on to Brudenholme. Here we join a wide stony track to head northwards towards Skiddaw. After half a mile we leave the track to join a grassy path on our left to make a gradual ascent to the summit of Latrigg, stopping once or twice to catch our breath. After taking in the scenery, we descend by a zigzag path to join the Cumbria Way. This path takes us over the A66 and eventually to the disused Keswick railway station, (more toilets) and the former railway track which is now a beautiful tree-lined walk. We follow the track for something over 3miles / 4.8km, crossing the meandering River Greta several times, before we reach the A66 once more and head back to Threlkeld. Penruddock to Threlkeld with Bill Mann ing Grade C Distance miles / Climbing ft / m No information received. A word of thanks to Mark Smith who took over leadership while his father dealt with an incident on the C Walk at Pateley Bridge. Well done Mark! Please help to keep the coaches clean by removing muddy boots. Please check that you have all your belongings and take newspapers etc. away with you. Thank you. .

  • Landform Studies in Mosedale, Northeastern Lake District: Opportunities for Field Investigations
    Field Studies, 10, (2002) 177 - 206 LANDFORM STUDIES IN MOSEDALE, NORTHEASTERN LAKE DISTRICT: OPPORTUNITIES FOR FIELD INVESTIGATIONS RICHARD CLARK Parcey House, Hartsop, Penrith, Cumbria CA11 0NZ AND PETER WILSON School of Environmental Studies, University of Ulster at Coleraine, Cromore Road, Coleraine, Co. Londonderry BT52 1SA, Northern Ireland (e-mail: [email protected]) ABSTRACT Mosedale is part of the valley of the River Caldew in the Skiddaw upland of the northeastern Lake District. It possesses a diverse, interesting and problematic assemblage of landforms and is convenient to Blencathra Field Centre. The landforms result from glacial, periglacial, fluvial and hillslopes processes and, although some of them have been described previously, others have not. Landforms of one time and environment occur adjacent to those of another. The area is a valuable locality for the field teaching and evaluation of upland geomorphology. In this paper, something of the variety of landforms, materials and processes is outlined for each district in turn. That is followed by suggestions for further enquiry about landform development in time and place. Some questions are posed. These should not be thought of as being the only relevant ones that might be asked about the area: they are intended to help set enquiry off. Mosedale offers a challenge to students at all levels and its landforms demonstrate a complexity that is rarely presented in the textbooks. INTRODUCTION Upland areas attract research and teaching in both earth and life sciences. In part, that is for the pleasure in being there and, substantially, for relative freedom of access to such features as landforms, outcrops and habitats, especially in comparison with intensively occupied lowland areas.

  • Back '0' Skidda
    BACK '0' SKIDDA This route devised by Frank Yates takes in some of the less frequented areas in Northern Lakeland. The total map mileage is some 28 with approximately 7600 feet of ascent. There is no time limit on the walk. The route starts and finishes in the little hamlet of Mosedale. An anticlockwise circuit is recommended, giving the better views and an easier end to the day. Probably the easiest start is from the old mines road, heading straight up Carrock Fell. On some maps a path is shown but this hardly appears on the ground. From the old fort the way to High Pike is straightforward and you should have no need to use the seat provided on the summit. There is a good track past the shooting hut (a good place to have a stop and to sign the visitors book) on Great Lingy Hill, but not over the wetness of Miller Moss. The summit of Knott comes as a dry relief. After Great Calva and Whitewater Dash comes the long, long climb over Skiddaw and lunch! Follow the ridge downhill with all of Lakeland before you, finally turning away to Lonscale Fell and Skiddaw House, surely one of the loneliest inhabited houses in the country (now a Youth Hostel). The climb up Mungrisdale Common and over to Blencathra is long and tiring. Blencathra is a magnificent mountain, which everybody vows to revisit, although not all do. The profile seen on the way up to Bannerdale Crags, especially on a late summer afternoon, can make the whole circuit worthwhile.

  • 2011 'Alerts' Are Now Included Among the List of Incidents - for General Interest and As a Result of a Change in National Reporting Policy
    2011 'Alerts' are now included among the list of incidents - for general interest and as a result of a change in national reporting policy. These 'alerts', however, are not added to the tally of 'rescues'. A man, walking alone, reported himself to be lost in the Cat Bells area. We spoke to him on his Cat Bells - Maiden Moor mobile phone and were able to ascertain that he had a torch and GPS and was on a path. Putting 01-Jan 18:59 area everything together, he was advised to walk downhill to, hopefully, arrive in Grange village - which he did by 20:15 hrs. A 46 year old lady slipped on ice and broke her arm. Conditions were very cold, so it was fortunate for all concerned that the Great North Air Ambulance was able to fly to the scene and 1 03-Jan 13:00 Blencathra summit take her to hospital in Carlisle. 15 members - 1 hour 30 minutes 2 walkers got lost in a whiteout and went to ground in a stone shelter. We worked out where they probably were from information given over the phone. We found them very cold but 2 07-Jan 15:20 Bowscale Fell summit otherwise well and walked them back down to the valley. 23 members - 3 hours 25 minutes 2 climbers got into trouble when completing the climb and requested help in getting out of the Great End - Left Hand 3 08-Jan 17:10 gully. They were encountered by 2 other climbers doing the same route, who were able to help Groove them out of their predicament.

  • Carrock Fell, June-September 2009 – Part II Mapping Project
    Carrock Fell, June-September 2009 – Part II mapping project Last summer I went to the English Lake District and mapped Carrock Fell, a 660-metre hill, and some of the surrounding fell-sides. I was based at a very nice campsite* (in a caravan) just off the main road half way between Penrith and Keswick, and the mapping area was half-an-hour bike ride to the north. The area is visited Conveniently I could cycle along tracks and bridleways quite far into the mapping area in several different places so there wasn’t also a long walk at the start of each day to find somewhere new or interesting to look at! View to E along River Caldew. Carrock Fell on left of photo, Bowscale fell on the right. * Which I would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area – excellent showers, friendly staff, a 30 minute bus ride from Penrith and Keswick, with most of the ‘Northern Fells’ according to Wainwright within walking (if not cycling) distance. For caravans, static caravans and tents†. http://www.campingandcaravanningclub.co.uk/siteseeker/aspx/details.aspx?id=9010 † Incidentally, I’m not on a commission. Unfortunately I did not take a camera with me during mapping, as I would have ended up spending all of my time taking wildlife photos instead of mapping, but as part of the area was visited on the Part IB field trip to Sedbergh, the photos included in this report are from then. I was mainly lucky with the weather, with only a couple of days’ rain; I missed the really bad stuff in August as I was away in Tanzania (as it turns out, four weeks climbing Lakeland fells actually is good training for something like Kilimanjaro).
