  • Langdale Pikes ROUTE
    Langdale Pikes The compact group of peaks that form the Langdale Pikes are amongst the most easily recognisable mountains in the Lake District. Viewed from Langdale their flanks are craggy and appear very steep, the sort of territory that appeals to climbers rather than walkers. However this is something of an illusion, for although there are plenty of crags to keep climbers happy the fells that lay between them are not as steep as they first appear - a trick of perspective. This provides adventurous walking in a very dramatic setting. This relatively short walk reaches the main summits of the Langdale Pikes and is a superb introduction to the whole Langdale Valley. Grade: Moderate Start/Finish: New Dungeon Ghyll Hotel Car Park, GR NY294063 Distance: 4.6 miles (7.5km) Time: 3 - 4 hours Height gain: 772m Terrain: Steep fellside, crags, high hanging corrie, rocky summits, scree covered back-wall, tarn-filled corrie and rocky gill. Maps: OS Landranger 90, OS Explorer OL 6, Harveys' Superwalker (1:25 000 Lakeland Central). 1. From the North end of the car park by the side of the hotel/toilet block take the path towards Stickle Ghyll around the walls to a junction at the edge of the trees. Leave the Stickle Ghyll path and turn left and follow this path for 100m to another junction. This time turn right and climb up hill to yet another junction. Turn right again and head North up the steepening fellside. This path climbs the north side of Dungeon Ghyll and is followed North West across steep slopes to gain Harrison Combe between Harrison Stickle and Loft Crag - care is needed along the upper part of the path as there are steep drops into Dungeon Ghyll.

  • Billy Bland Attempt Special
    A Month Of Meltham AC Racing Billy Bland Challenge Special June 2015 The Challenge The plan was fairly simple – the Bob Graham Round, split into 5 legs and run by pairs. It’s called the ‘Billy Bland Challenge’, and simply put you’re trying to beat one man’s BGR time as relay of 5 pairs; however, what a man – Billy’s time of 13 hours and 53 minutes from 1982 is still the individual record, and no team of relay runners have even come within half an hour of it – we would target 24 hours… Although a small club, we have some decent Fell Runners, some very experienced runners and loads of enthusiasm. The plan was talked through with Andy Lang and before we knew it, a poster went up on the noticeboard and an open meeting planned. The anticipated enthusiasm was realised and even when we started talking numbers (66 miles, 42 peaks, 28,000 feet of ascent, 24 hours of running) everyone seemed to get even more excited. Names were taken, Legs were allocated and recce’s were planned. Over the following 10 months or so we lost a few runners to injury and illness (notably Giles Bailey, Christian Lloyd and Alice Buttle), and had one major re-allocation of Legs, with Mark Hoath being drafted at the 11th hour. Recce’s were completed up to 10 days before the day and all eyes were on the weather, which was looking favourable. A campsite was booked, final preparations completed, a Tracker hired and a symbolic baton was purchased so that club members could follow our heroic progress (and we could keep an eye on where our runners were going….) Leg 1 – Keswick to Threlkeld – Andy Lang and Mark Hoath (Via Skiddaw, Great Calva, Blencartha) Finally the moment arrived – we were gathered outside Moot Hall in Keswick at 11.30pm.

  • Three of the Langdale Peaks
    Three of the Langdale peaks A walk proposed by Walking Britain This Langdale walk includes two of the well know Langdale Pikes - Harrison Stickle and Pike o'Stickle - and continues to visit the less walked Rosset Pike so you can avoid the crowds. Walk No. 293127 Calculated time : 6h00 Difficulty : Difficult Return to the departure Distance : 8.03mi Yes point : Vertical gain : 2612ft Activity : Walking Vertical drop : 2605ft Region : Lake District Highest point : 2333ft Location : Lakes Lowest point : 318ft Description (D/A)From the car park at the New Dungeon Ghyll Hotel, a well-constructed Waypoints stone path leads the way upwards, passing the beck on the right and with Pavey Ark showing ahead on the right with Harrison Stickle on the left. For S/F Start: car park at New Dungeon Ghyll the most part, the route up to Stickle Tarn is obvious but there is one point Hotel N 54.447017° / W 3.090707° - alt. 318ft - mi 0 where a choice will have to be made concerning the ongoing route. A few minutes from the tarn, the path crosses Stickle Beck from right to left.

  • This Walk Description Is from Happyhiker.Co.Uk Langdale Pikes
    This walk description is from happyhiker.co.uk Langdale Pikes Starting point and OS Grid reference National Trust pay and display car park near the New Dungeon Gill hotel (NY 294064) Ordnance Survey map OL6 The English Lakes – South-western Area Distance 6.4 miles Traffic light rating Introduction: No portfolio of walks in the Lake District is complete without The Langdale Pikes walk. The distinctive shape of their summits is visible from all over the area. This and their setting above the gorgeous Langdale Valley make them a magnet for walkers. There are a myriad of ways of tackling them and this route may not be the easiest but provides something of a challenge. It is therefore quite a hard walk despite its relatively short distance, involving a steep climb and steep descent. Some descriptions of this walk take a sweeping curve to Sergeant Man, then, go along to High Raise, before coming back to Harrison Stickle (see alternative route on the sketch map). This misses out Pavey Arc which is a shame because the view almost vertically down to Stickle Tarn is quite dramatic. I therefore include Pavey Arc but omit Sergeant Man. Sergeant Man can be done as an offshoot from High Raise if you wish. The plateau on which the Pikes sit can be quite a disorientating place in poor visibility although their relatively lower altitude means they are often below the cloud cap when the bigger fells have disappeared. It is nevertheless recommended that a compass and map be carried plus of course the ability to use them! The plateau is usually boggy in places and gaiters are recommended, especially after any wet weather.

  • Langdale Axes Are the Best Great Langdale Valley, Ambleside, United Kingdom
    Langdale axes are the best Great Langdale Valley, Ambleside, United Kingdom A Great Langdale Axe (courtesy Trustees of British Museum) www.neverastraightline.com ©neverastraightline.com I adore mountains. Always have done, always will do. There is something about a craggy peak that lifts Great Langdale Valley with the my spirits and makes me feel I want to be out there, savour the peace, breathe clear air, and spend time Boulders to the left (Kevin Alexander George) alone in my otherwise crazy existence. It was why, on a perfect-weather day, I was sat atop the Lake District’s Pike of Stickle, gazing out over a green and welcoming Great Langdale Valley. It was one of those days that makes the National Park a World Heritage Centre, the reason why so many visit, and share the joy. Mostly visitors are at ground level, perhaps taking a steamer up and down Windermere, guzzling Grasmere gingerbread, or studying the finer points of Beatrix Potter and William Wordsworth. I was not thinking of literature, nor for that matter of writing. I was thinking of Neolithic Man. Six thousand years ago, near to where I was daydreaming, and listening to the bleating of Herdwick lambs in the valley, 2000 feet beneath me, had been a factory. It was here that Stone Age Man had produced his axes. The Langdale Axe Factory exported its labours for many hundreds of miles. More than a quarter of stone axes found anywhere in Great Britain were made only metres from where I was sitting. Langdale axes were the Gucci, the Louis Vuitton, the Hermès of axes.

    Lithic scatters and landscape: the Mesolithic, Neolithic and Early Bronze Age inhabitation of the lower Exe valley, Devon Volume 1 of 2 by Olaf Bayer A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Central Lancashire November 2011 Student Declaration Concurrent registration for two or more academic awards *I declare that while registered as a candidate for the research degree, I have not been a registered candidate or enrolled student for another award of the University or other academic or professional institution Material submitted for another award *I declare that no material contained in the thesis has been used in any other submission for an academic award and is solely my own work Signature of Candidate Type of Award Doctor of Philosophy School Forensic and Investigative Sciences i Abstract This thesis examines the inhabitation of the lower Exe valley, between the Mesolithic and the Early Bronze Age through the evidence of a series of surface lithic scatters. Research draws on recent confident approaches to surface lithic scatters which view them as key data for understanding the inhabitation of prehistoric landscapes. Theoretically it draws on the dwelling perspective and proposes that both the contents of lithic scatters (the stone tools and debitage of which they are composed), and their contexts (the locations in which they are found) are inseparable parts of the same whole, and are implicated in the processes through which prehistoric populations came to understood and create their worlds. Research focuses on a small study area centred on the lower Exe valley, Devon.
