My 214 Story Name: Christopher Taylor Membership Number: 3812 First Fell Climbed
My 214 Story Name: Christopher Taylor Membership number: 3812 First fell climbed: Coniston Old Man, 6 April 2003 Last fell climbed: Great End, 14 October 2019 I was a bit of a late-comer to the Lakes. My first visit was with my family when I was 15. We rented a cottage in Grange for a week at Easter. Despite my parents’ ambitious attempts to cajole my sister Cath and me up Scafell Pike and Helvellyn, the weather turned us back each time. I remember reaching Sty Head and the wind being so strong my Mum was blown over. My sister, 18 at the time, eventually just sat down in the middle of marshy ground somewhere below the Langdale Pikes and refused to walk any further. I didn’t return then until I was 28. It was my Dad’s 60th and we took a cottage in Coniston in April 2003. The Old Man of Coniston became my first summit, and I also managed to get up Helvellyn via Striding Edge with Cath and my brother-in-law Dave. Clambering along the edge and up on to the still snow-capped summit was thrilling. A love of the Lakes, and in particular reaching and walking on high ground, was finally born. Visits to the Lakes became more regular after that, but often only for a week a year as work and other commitments limited opportunities. A number of favourites established themselves: the Langdale Pikes; Lingmoor Fell; Catbells and Wansfell among them. I gradually became more ambitious in the peaks I was willing to take on.

APPLICATIONS OF QUANTITATIVE METHODS AND CHAOS THEORY IN ICHNOLOGY FOR ANALYSIS OF INVERTEBRATE BEHAVIOR AND EVOLUTION by James Richard Woodson Lehane A dissertation submitted to the faculty of The University of Utah in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geology Department of Geology and Geophysics The University of Utah August 2014 Copyright © James Richard Woodson Lehane 2014 All Rights Reserved The University of Utah Graduate School STATEMENT OF DISSERTATION APPROVAL The dissertation of James Richard Woodson Lehane has been approved by the following supervisory committee members: Allan A.

ABSTRACT Trace fossils are the result of animal behaviors, such as burrowing and feeding, recorded in the rock record. Previous research has been mainly on the systematic description of trace fossils and their paleoenvironmental implications, not how animal behaviors have evolved. This study analyzes behavioral evolution using the quantification of a group of trace fossils, termed graphoglyptids. Graphoglyptids are deep marine trace fossils, typically found preserved as casts on the bottom of turbidite beds. The analytical techniques performed on the graphoglyptids include calculating fractal dimension, branching angles, and tortuosity, among other analyses, for each individual trace fossil and were performed on over 400 trace fossils, ranging from the Cambrian to the modem.

Landform Studies in Mosedale, Northeastern Lake District: Opportunities for Field Investigations
Field Studies, 10, (2002) 177 - 206 LANDFORM STUDIES IN MOSEDALE, NORTHEASTERN LAKE DISTRICT: OPPORTUNITIES FOR FIELD INVESTIGATIONS RICHARD CLARK Parcey House, Hartsop, Penrith, Cumbria CA11 0NZ AND PETER WILSON School of Environmental Studies, University of Ulster at Coleraine, Cromore Road, Coleraine, Co. Londonderry BT52 1SA, Northern Ireland (e-mail: [email protected]) ABSTRACT Mosedale is part of the valley of the River Caldew in the Skiddaw upland of the northeastern Lake District. It possesses a diverse, interesting and problematic assemblage of landforms and is convenient to Blencathra Field Centre. The landforms result from glacial, periglacial, fluvial and hillslopes processes and, although some of them have been described previously, others have not. Landforms of one time and environment occur adjacent to those of another. The area is a valuable locality for the field teaching and evaluation of upland geomorphology. In this paper, something of the variety of landforms, materials and processes is outlined for each district in turn. That is followed by suggestions for further enquiry about landform development in time and place. Some questions are posed. These should not be thought of as being the only relevant ones that might be asked about the area: they are intended to help set enquiry off. Mosedale offers a challenge to students at all levels and its landforms demonstrate a complexity that is rarely presented in the textbooks. INTRODUCTION Upland areas attract research and teaching in both earth and life sciences. In part, that is for the pleasure in being there and, substantially, for relative freedom of access to such features as landforms, outcrops and habitats, especially in comparison with intensively occupied lowland areas.

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.

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.
