  • Trip Notes: Lake District Rock and Roll, 3
    Trip notes: Lake District rock and roll, 3 - 5 November 2017 Many thanks for joining us for what I’m sure will be an awesome weekend. While we need to be flexible, the plan is to ride from our accommodation on Saturday – lowish level but awesome riding with some great techie sections. Weather permitting, we’ll use the mini bus to get a day in the mountains on Sunday – maybe Nan Bield, Helvellyn or High Street, or possibly a little lower but equally as exhilarating, above Coniston. We’ll have a full briefing over dinner on Friday evening and probably again on Saturday! Our accommodation We’re staying in Shackleton Lodge on the Brathay Estate, just outside Ambleside – details below. It’s a huge place with a large lounge and plenty of rooms. The beds are mainly bunks in large rooms and we won’t need to have more than 2 to a room. Remember to bring a sleeping bag, pillow and towel. We can get access to the lodge from 5pm on Friday evening and we aim dinner for 8pm on the first night, to give folk time to arrive. We’ll have breakfast together before heading out on Saturday and Sunday and enjoy more of Jo’s wonderful cooking for dinner on Saturday. Lunch arrangements will remain reasonably flexible to fit in with the day’s riding. Getting there: Satnav postcode is LA22 0HP. From the south, exit the M6 at junction 36 and merge onto the A590 (signposted Barrow A590 and Windermere, Kendal A591). Follow the A591 to Ambleside.

Barbara Elaine Harrington PhD June 2016 1 ABSTRACT Walking, landscape and visual culture: how walkers engage with and conceive of the landscapes in which they walk. Walking in the countryside is an increasingly popular pursuit in Britain. Much previous research within the social sciences has tended to concentrate on the physiological benefits, barriers or facilitators to walking. This thesis explores particular walkers’ complex motivations for and modes of walking, their individual engagements with certain types of (northern) landscapes and the significance of specific kinds of visual images, traditions and wider practices of looking.
