The Minutes of the meeting will be circulated on the November coaches. Please note – Walk details must be in 2 (TWO) weeks before each coach excursion. Today’s Walks Today’s starting points: 1. A: Helmside 2. B+, B, C: Keswick Ullscarf and the Central Ridge with Colin Manning Grade. A Distance 12½ miles /20.1 km Climbing3000 ft / 914m Starting from Helmside, just through Grasmere, we head down the lane to a grassy climb up the side of Helm Crag but not actually taking in the summit. From here we follow the ridge up over Gibson Knott and Calf Crag and on to Greenup Edge. From this point we are likely to encounter boggy ground along the ridge. We now head along the ridge to reach Ullscarf, which at 2382ft/726m, is the highest point of the walk. We then travel off piste over High Saddle, Low Saddle, past Blea Tarn, over Shivery Knott and Middle Crag and on to High Tove (1690ft/515m). Continuing along the ridge we reach High Seat (1995ft/608m). Here a decision will be made, dependant on time factors, either to descend to the lake side which we will follow back into Keswick or to continue on to Bleaberry Fell (1936/590m), where path conditions vastly improve, and descend via Walla Crag (1243ft/379m), Castlerigg and down into Keswick for the coaches. Catbells with Susan Grierson . Grade B+ Distance 10 miles / 16km Climbing 1520ft / 463m Although Dave C had labelled this walk 'Keswick Killer' please don't worry we are merely climbing the familiar 'family fell' Cat Bells that we have climbed so often before. We leave coaches at Keswick and walk northeast through Portinscale following the Cumbria Way to Hawes End where we begin our ascent, climbing Skelgill Bank and onto the summit of Cat Bells, where we can enjoy spectacular views (hopefully) and eat lunch. After lunch we descend from Cat Bells down Hause Gate back to Hawes End, returning to Portinscale via Fawe Park on the Cumbria Way and on into Keswick for refreshments and the coaches. Catbells slowly with Colin Hunt Grade B Distance 9 miles / 14.5km Climbing1300ft / 396m Tony is unable to lead this walk so we are going to do Catbells ...... slowly. We leave the coaches and make our leisurely way, along the Cumbria Way, to Portinscale and Hawes End from where we climb Catbells via Skelgill Bank. We descend via Hause Gate then follow the Cumbria Way back into Keswick. Derwent Dawdle with Alison & Lesley Grade C Distance 5¼ miles / 8.4km Climbing 394ft / 120m Our walk begins today from the coach park in Keswick. Walking along the main street (brief stop for toilets), we take the footpath south east passing Castlehead Wood and continuing through Springs Wood. This is a gradual slow climb and on a good day there will be beautiful views of the valley. Turning south west we then enter Great Wood from which we descend to cross Borrowdale Road. This brings us to the shores of Derwent Water and from here we will follow the water’s edge north west, passing The Ings, Friars Crag, and the Boat House. Turning west at the Theatre we then follow the path around Town Cass back to the coach park. This is a leisurely walk with beautiful scenery and the paths are good. 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. .

  • Latrigg KESWICK
    When the railway was built in 1864 to carry coke from Durham to Workington’s iron and steel works, it brought a new era of prosperity to the town. The grand railway station and its associated hotel, which you can see from here, marked the start of a major change in the layout, function and appearance of the town. Thus Keswick developed as a Victorian tourist resort, planned with a grid layout immediately to the east of the centre. In the 20th century, development has had limited impact on the town centre, but there have been significant post 1st and 2nd World War residential developments on the periphery of the town. If you wish to learn more about Keswick, ask at the information centre about the Civic Society’s guided walks and their self-guided tour booklet. 3 From the viewpoint, the top of Latrigg (368m) is reached by turning left up the path on the ridge. Beyond the summit, the path continues east along the ridge to a gate and stile in a wire fence. Cross the stile and continue downhill. As you near the end of a long field, View across Derwentwater from Latrigg turn half left down a grassy slope to join a wide track at the edge of a plantation by a rusty metal 4 Continue along the track under the sheepfold and a metal gate. Turn right through arched road bridge. The track here is on a built the gate to go down the track to eventually up stone embankment beside the river which led pass gorse bushes on the right and reach a to a tunnel for the railway.

  • Wainwright's Central Fells
    Achille Ratti Long Walk - 22nd April 2017 – Wainwright’s Central Fells in a day by Natasha Fellowes and Chris Lloyd I know a lot of fell runners who are happy to get up at silly o'clock to go for a day out. I love a day out but I don't love the early get ups, so when Dave Makin told me it would be a 4am start this time for the annual Achille Ratti Long Walk, the idea took a bit of getting used to. The route he had planned was the Wainwright's Central Fells. There are 27 of them and he had estimated the distance at 40 ish miles, which also took some getting used to. A medium Long Walk and a short Long Walk had also been planned but I was keen to get the miles into my legs. So after an early night, a short sleep and a quick breakfast we set off prompt at 4am in cool dry conditions from Bishop’s Scale, our club hut in Langdale. Our first top, Loughrigg, involved a bit of a walk along the road but it passed quickly enough and we were on the top in just under an hour. The familiar tops of Silver Howe and Blea Rigg then came and went as the sun rose on the ridge that is our club's back garden. I wondered whether anyone else at the hut had got up yet. The morning then started to be more fun as we turned right and into new territory for me.

  • 2010 'Alerts' Are Now Included Among the List of Incidents - for General Interest and As a Result of a Change in National Reporting Policy
    2010 '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'. 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. As their car was not to be found on our side of the mountain, the incident was passed over to Patterdale MRT for their attention. 02-Jan 19:02 Seathwaite Overdue walkers - later turned up. 02-Jan Grisedale Pike area Other walkers reported encountering a man who was poorly-equipped (for the wintry conditions) and who looked to be in a bad way. 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. At first it was thought that the lights came from the popular winter climbing area, Raven Crag. However, team members located the climbers safely making their way down. 3 03-Jan 14:07 Cat Gill, Great Wood A mother (43 yrs) and her daughter (5 yrs) slipped on the icy path and slithered about 30' down into the frozen gill.
