Witton Park is on the left hand side as you approach Blackburn. Park in front of the running track. We begin our walk, walking round the running track and passing in front of the pavilion, before starting to climb up through Big Corver Wood. (Watch out for the wild animals!) At the top we cross two fields to reach Billinge Nook and take the permissive path to Billinge Hill where you have panoramic views of East Lancashire. We continue downhill to follow the Witton Weaver’s Way to Close Farm and eventually reach Hoghton Bottoms. At the time of going to press the path along the River Darwen was closed but I have an alternative path if it is still closed when we get there on the day. We are still on the Witton Weaver’s Way as we follow paths through Pleasington Golf Course to Pleasington Priory. We go down the side of the Priory Cemetery to arrive at the back end of Witton Park and, eventually, the car park. I will not mention the mud!!! Club Holiday 11 th – 16 th April 2010 The Rex Hotel, Weymouth, Dorset This ***hotel is situated opposite the Esplanade, overlooking Weymouth Bay. The cost will be £350 per person for half board in double or twin rooms. A deposit of £30 is required, with a cheque payable to Preston and District Walking Club sent to Dorothy Shackleton at the address shown on the Programme and indicating whether double or twin rooms are required. There are several National Trails in the area which should provide good walking for us. For those not wishing to walk, visits could be arranged to Dorchester, Sherbourne or Swanage Annual General Meeting : Thursday 24 September : 7.30pm Among other things the Committee are proposing that the Subscription Year runs from January rather than after the AGM to fit in with the Programme. Why not make your feelings known? Everyone welcome at County Hall on the above date. Seat belts are a legal requirement. Please use them. Dogs must be kept on the lead at all times. The coaches are non-smoking areas. Editor: Maurice Bradbury Please note – All Walk details must be in 2 (TWO) weeks before each coach excursion. Today’s Walks Today’s starting points: 1. A: roundabout past Keswick on the A66 2. B+, B, C: Braithwaite Dodd and Skiddaw with Dave Colbert Grade. A Distance 10½ miles / 17 km Climbing 3900 ft / 1190m Skiddaw dominates the Vale of Keswick, rising steeply from low-lying valleys on all sides to a cluster of barren, subsidiary tops buttressing the main summit ridge. Our route today includes Dodd (1647ft / 502m), which, for many years, was infested with non-native conifers. Many of these have now been removed so we should have an excellent view across Derwent Water from the top. The continuation to Skiddaw (3054ft / 931m) via Carl Side is steep and rough, particularly the climb from Carlside Tarn to Skiddaw’s lengthy summit ridge. Our descent to Keswick takes us over Skiddaw Little Man and Latrigg. Cat Bells with Pete Stevens Grade B+ Distance 9½ miles / 15.3km Climbing 1400ft / 427m Cat Bells has been walked by the club several times in the past few years but not in the height of summer, if you can call it that. The views from the top are some of the best in the Lake District and well worth another visit. Starting from Braithwaite (toilets) we follow Newlands Beck south to Ghyll Bank then, passing Skelgill, on to Hawes End where we start our main climb of the day. From here we ascend Skelgill Bank (1148ft / 350m) where we level out for a while before ascending Cat Bells (1476ft / 450m). From here we can see the length of Derwent Water to Keswick and beyond, with Bassenthwaite Lake and Skiddaw in the background. We descend from Cat Bells down Hause Gate to Manesty Park at the southern end of Derwent Water. Turning north, we join the Allerdale Ramble track (Cumbria Way) which follows Derwent Water back to Hawes End and through Fawe Park to Portinscale. From here we turn east into Keswick where we will be picked up by the coaches. Grange with Tony Ingham Grade B Distance 10 miles / 16.1km Climbing 600ft / 183m We leave Braithwaite (toilets) and head south along Newlands Beck to Swinside. We continue on to Hawes End and from here climb gently along the foot of Skelgill Bank, Cat Bells and Maiden Moor until we reach the village of Grange (toilets). Here we start the return leg and walk northwards on the Cumbria Way alongside Derwent water to Portinscale where we turn eastwards into Keswick for refreshments and the coaches . Braithwaite (Stair and Newlands) Circular with Derek Lowe Grade C Distance 7½ miles / 12km Climbing 500ft / 152m Leaving the coaches at Braithwaite we make our way through the campsite to Braithwaite Lodge. We then follow Newlands Beck until we reach Stair. From Stair we cross over to Skelgill where we shall have lunch at the foot of Cat Bells. After lunch we follow the Cumbria Way through Overside Wood to Portinscale. Here we cross the bridge and follow field paths back to Keswick where we shall have ample time to browse around the shops, or whatever, before getting the coaches back home. 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. .

  • 22 PEAK CHALLENGE 2015 the Challenge
    22 PEAK CHALLENGE 2015 The Challenge: We would like to invite you to take part in a mega challenge. The 4 Lakeland 3000’s (AKA 4 highest mountains in England/ Lake District Munro’s) are a challenge in their own right, but we want to throw in an additional 18 summits to make it 22 summits in 3 days. This will mean walking approximately 46 miles and ascending 4,919m/16,138ft! We are hoping we can encourage you to join us on this exciting weekend and be part of a team supporting the vital work that we do here at The Lake District Calvert Trust. This is a challenge not to be underestimated but it is certainly one to be embraced, and the sense of achievement you will feel on completing it will be second to none. If you would like to experience this 3-day adventure and join a team of around 20 people to raise funds for the Lake District Calvert Trust then read on! The Route: The route will start at the Lake District Calvert Trust centre and finish at the Moot Hall in Keswick. Please note the route is subject to change if adverse weather conditions become an issue, but we will endeavour to follow the planned itinerary as closely as possible. The 22 summits included in the walk are as follows: DAY 1 Dodd 491m; Carlside 746m; Skiddaw Little Man 865m; Skiddaw 931m; Clough Head 726m; Great Dodd 857m; Stybarrow Dodd 843m; Raise 883m; White Side 863m; Helvellyn - Lower Man 925m; Helvellyn 950m DAY 2 High Raise 762m; Broad Crag 934m; Scafell Pike 978m; Symonds Knott 959m; Scafell 964m DAY 3 Great Gable 899m; Green Gable 801m; Brandreth 715m; High Spy 653m; Maiden Moor 576m; Catbells 451m For health & safety it will be essential that all walkers stick to the agreed route.

  • Back '0' Skidda
    BACK '0' SKIDDA This route devised by Frank Yates takes in some of the less frequented areas in Northern Lakeland. The total map mileage is some 28 with approximately 7600 feet of ascent. There is no time limit on the walk. The route starts and finishes in the little hamlet of Mosedale. An anticlockwise circuit is recommended, giving the better views and an easier end to the day. Probably the easiest start is from the old mines road, heading straight up Carrock Fell. On some maps a path is shown but this hardly appears on the ground. From the old fort the way to High Pike is straightforward and you should have no need to use the seat provided on the summit. There is a good track past the shooting hut (a good place to have a stop and to sign the visitors book) on Great Lingy Hill, but not over the wetness of Miller Moss. The summit of Knott comes as a dry relief. After Great Calva and Whitewater Dash comes the long, long climb over Skiddaw and lunch! Follow the ridge downhill with all of Lakeland before you, finally turning away to Lonscale Fell and Skiddaw House, surely one of the loneliest inhabited houses in the country (now a Youth Hostel). The climb up Mungrisdale Common and over to Blencathra is long and tiring. Blencathra is a magnificent mountain, which everybody vows to revisit, although not all do. The profile seen on the way up to Bannerdale Crags, especially on a late summer afternoon, can make the whole circuit worthwhile.
