Frog Graham Round : Sunday 30Th August 2020 Frog Graham Round : Sunday 30th August 2020 I decided to do the Frog Graham Round after completing the Puddle Buckley Round in Wales earlier in August of this year. I did the Puddle Buckley with my friend, Natalie Hawkrigg, who had done the Frog Graham last year and currently holds the fastest ladies time. She fancied having a stab at the Puddle Buckley after our friend, Paul Wilson, was the first to complete it in 2019. We thought we would have a go at being first ladies and the second and third completers. After doing the Puddle Buckley it seemed silly not to do the Frog Graham as I live in Cumbria! So, I decided to try and fit it in before the end of the summer. Natalie and I did the Puddle Buckley unsupported, just stashing wetsuits and some additional gear and food at various strategic points on the Round. Hence, I decided to try the same approach for the Frog Graham and initially planned no support at all. However, I was slightly anxious about doing the Bassenthwaite and Derwentwater swims unsupported if they were potentially going to be at dawn and dusk with limited light and probably rather colder than I would have liked given the amount of recent rainfall. I therefore opted for a swimmer for support on Bassenthwaite and Derwentwater - Natalie on Bassenthwaite and my son, Robin, on Derwentwater. The plan was a 3:30 am start with the goal of being at Church Bay, Bassenthwaite for 6 am to start the swim. In the end due to the logistics of cars and transport I met Natalie at Beck Wythop where she left her car and we headed to the Moot Hall together in my car. Then, setting off at 3:29 am, Natalie accompanied me for the first leg over Skiddaw, down to Church Bay and over Bassenthwaite to Beck Wythop. It was nice to have the company and helped the first leg and long pull up Skiddaw to pass quickly. I was extremely cold and shivery when I got out of the water at Beck Wythop which worried me about continuing and having to swim Crummock and Buttermere unsupported. Natalie was very encouraging though and insisted I should go and that she would get to Buttermere in time to support me with a kayak for safety. It was extremely fortunate that her son, Reuben and her friend, Nix, were also doing the Tadpole Round on the same day so she had planned to be there anyway, although rather later. So, I set off and warmed up by about three quarters of the way up Barf. Another contender passed me just after Barf and we had an unfortunate short period where I swapped positions with him and his support team a few times as our paces varied. In the end he fortunately pulled away with his team on the ascent of Grisedale Pike and, although I could see them ahead for most of the time, we didn’t swap places again. I descended to Crummock about half an hour ahead of my target and saw Natalie setting up the kayak in the last few metres of the descent. I had left a fresh wetsuit, hat, googles and two tow bags with some food and drink in a second car at Crummock ready for my arrival. The Crummock swim, whilst cold, was not as bad as Bassenthwaite which was a relief. Mellbreak went OK, it was never going to be very nice! I wasn’t sure about the higher path cutting up towards Red Pike as I hadn’t had time to recce it very well so descended to Scale Force and picked up the path to Red Pike from there. This seemed a long haul. On the descent from High Stile I could see Elwood, Natalie’s second son, on a paddle board waiting to support myself and Nix, Reuben had already gone through Buttermere. I retrieved stashed wetsuit number 3 and got changed and then, by very good fortune, Nix and I arrived simultaneously at the Lake. I was about an hour ahead of my rough timings by now. Nix had followed the lake shore path from Crummock on her Tadpole Round. We swam over with Elwood on his paddle board for reassurance. It was great to have him there as it was pretty cold and rather choppy now. I struggled to warm up again after the swim, finding it very hard to dress and pack up. It was a relief when I was sorted to be running again and working hard on the way up Robinson. I didn’t find Robinson too bad, but Dale Head went on forever. It was very nice to reach Catbells and see Derwentwater looking very flat and still below. I avoided all the erosion control areas and descended down a grassy section to meet the road and pick up a path to Otterbield Bay. The plan was that Robin would join me at Otterbield Bay after finishing work at Cotswold Outdoors as long as I wasn’t earlier than 5:45 pm. I had been quite worried about this timing as, after the shock of the water temperatures, I hadn’t wanted to do this swim unsupported. As a backup, because I thought Robin wouldn’t make it in time, I had asked poor Natalie to once more turn up with her kayak and help ensure my safety. I actually arrived at the Bay at 5:44 pm, having retrieved wetsuit number 4 again stashed the day before, to find Robin ready and waiting in his wetsuit and Natalie ready and waiting in her kayak. The water temperature was not as bad as I had anticipated it might be and, apart from one dizzy spell in the middle of the lake that didn’t last too long, we were pleasantly quickly on dry land at Calf Close Bay. Natalie dumped the kayak while Robin and I changed and then we all ran back to the Moot Hall via the lakeside path and the Theatre by the Lake. I arrived back at the Moot Hall at 7:07 pm after 15 hrs and 38 mins. I was very happy to have made it round despite the early qualms due to the temperature. It was nice to have all my family at the end and fish and chips to round the day off!

We were called by the police to assist a female, whose partner had fallen off a crag while trying to rescue their dog from a precarious position. She had made her own way off the fell, in conditions of failing light, to raise the alarm. When speaking to her, she was unable to give us an accurate location for the incident. As a result, we spent all night searching the fells with no success. During the early 6 January 19:30 Honister area hours of the following day a find was made. We then preceded to set up belays and lower a team member and stretcher to the casualty, who, after treatment was airlifted to hospital by an RAF Sea King helicopter. His injuries were noted as cosmetic and the whole event happened to be caught on television cameras.

These 'alerts', however, are not added to the tally of 'rescues'. 1 01-Jan 13:19 Latrigg - Brundholme Once again, we were requested to assist the Ambulance Service who could not reach the location House area because of the snowy and icy roads. On this occasion, a walker had slipped and dislocated her shoulder. A local farmer also gave assistance with the use of his tractor. 02-Jan 17:39 Helvellyn area A father and his teenage son were reported to be overdue and 2 miles from their car.

When they asked if he was OK, they were told to mind their own business! 2 02-Jan 19:40 Comb Gill - Raven Crag A local resident reported flashing lights in the Comb.

  • GRISEDALE PIKE, About Two Miles North of Grassmoor, and Sixteen
    • MOUNTAINS. 71 - • GRISEDALE PIKE, about two miles north of Grassmoor, and sixteen miles west by south of Keswick, commands a fine view of the vale of Keswick, and a considerable part of Cumberland, with the sea, the Isle of Man, and the Galloway mountains. About two miles east-so~th-east of this is Causey Pike, which has the eminences called Cat Bells and Castle Orag, to the south; and to the north of Gril3edale, and near the head of Bassenthwaite, is Loras &at. Langdale, or Stickle Pikes, four miles west of Grasmere, are, by their peculiar form, distinguished at a great distance, and afford some good views to the south-east. The highest pike is called Harrison Stickle, and is more easily ascended, and commands a better prospect of Rydal and Ambleside than the other, which is called the Pike of Stickle, and which has the advantage of catching a view of Bassenthwaite lake and the foot of Skiddaw. F AIRFIELD "makes a fine mountain excursion from Ambleside, com .. mencing the ascent at Rydal, encircling Rydal Head, and returning to Ambleside by Nook End. Lakes and tarns, to the number of ten, may be enumerated in this excursion, viz., Ulswater, Windermere, Esthwaite, Coniston, Grasmere, and Rydallakes; and Elterwater, Blelham, Easdale, and Grisdale tarns; oftener than once may eight of them be reckoned from a single station. Here is also a good view of the different creeks and inlets of the sea towards Lancaster and Ulverstone." HIGH STREET is about seven miles and a half north-north-east of Ambleside, and has its name from an ancient road, which appears as a broad green path, extending over its very summit.
