August 2008: the Sun Has Got His Hat on Issue. Editor’S Obvious Filler NewsieBlack Combe Runners August 2008: the sun has got his hat on issue. Editor’s obvious filler Another newsie limps off the presses and it’s been such a long time since the last one that nobody can remember what happened. The editor is very sorry about that. Next one will be quicker and thinner. And so will he. Meanwhile: Pete went for a long run with some friends. Sue and James had very different marathon experiences. The Black Combe race was frozen, the Duddon roasted, and the Great Lakes drowned. The superlongs plodded by and it seemed that nothing would stop Sue from completing the full classics series and probably getting all sorts of prizes, but then she made the fatal pre-race mistake of ordering a seafood dish at the Newfield. At Ennerdale I knocked an hour and 20 minutes off my PB. I still think you should get a prize for that, even if your You’d take a long time to get round Ennerdale if you hopped, too. old PB was the result of doing the last half of the race on hands and knees while hallucinating caterpillars.

The on Saturday – more than my own volume, probably – baton was handed over with dreary regularity despite thick and looking forward to the autumn race season. We’re cloud and rain, everybody had a great day out and I had putting together a team for the UK Fell and Hill relay to get lost in the Broughton Mills race just to give people championships, which we will almost certainly win, and something to talk about at the barbecue. before you know it the Dunnerdale will be upon us and the days very short. By the way, James, we’re all very sorry about the ping pong damage and traumatised pets. Just after that there should be another newsie: I’m aiming for somewhere between the end of the racing and the In other news, we have lots of new members, and if Christmas do, so please send your articles, photographs, this was a proper note from the captain they would be announcements and adverts to [email protected]. welcomed nicely and their names read out.

For casual records please use our website “Sightings” page where possible. Click on sightings report on: www.cumbria-butterflies.org.uk/sightings/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- We’d welcome surveys in any of the squares listed below, but are particularly interested in those marked * and +, ie where there have been recent positive sightings well away from known colonies or discovery of possible new colonies. The areas to be surveyed fall into 3 groups, in colour below, but also suffixed (1), (2) or (3) for those with black & white printers etc. 1. Grid squares that have previous positive sightings (shown in red) (1) 2. Grid squares adjacent to the above (shown in blue) (2) 3. Grid squares that are previously unrecorded but may have potential to hold Mountain Ringlet populations (shown in green) (3) The objective of these surveys is to try to determine the geographical spread of some known colonies, but also to survey areas that have suitable geology and which may hold previously unrecorded Mountain Ringlet populations.

The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material.

  • February 2008: the Christmas Issue. New Year, New Races
    NewsieBlack Combe Runners February 2008: the Christmas issue. New year, new races. New beer. It came as a shock when Will asked me for some words for the Newsie, as I was now Club Captain, but knowing I can’t wriggle out, here they are. Firstly, thanks to those at the AGM for your show of faith in me seeing that I’ve only been in the club a year, and thanks to Penny for her support as Captain. Both Hazel and I have been really pleased with the reception and friendliness of all in the club over the last year and it has made a huge difference to the enjoyment we’ve had running. We all run for fun, for some it is running and chatting on a Tuesday night, for others it is racing and drinking as much as is financially viable at the weekend. Our aim has to be to maintain this and help people to take part and stretch themselves when and where they want to. This photograph was taken by Dave Watson. That’s the only explanation I can offer. Ed. The winter league races, excellently organised by Val with her mallet, have attracted a lot of interest with 26 people We had 9 wanting to run last year so it’s a reasonable having competed in the first four races, most having hope. As a number of us found out in running it for the run two or more. The overall result is still wide open, first time in 2007, it’s a great team day out, with a little particularly as Val hasn’t told us how she will handicap us running thrown in and a few beers afterwards.
