Black Combe Runners August 2018 Black Combe Runners newsieAugust 2018 Just a quick note from the person who wanted to read the BCR stories first... When Beth put it out there if anyone fancied stepping in to help put the BCR Newsie together I was more than happy to lend a hand — especially since the Winter Newsie 2018 was such a good read :) Having only been part of the club for just under a year it’s amazing how something can become Isle of Man! such a huge (great) part of your life! Although it’s been a brilliant and busy year in general my absolute BCR highlight has to be our road trip to the Isle of Man to run the English Champs uphill race to the top of Snaefell — up hill race (my fav), great company, a lot of laughs, beautiful place and sunshine! Baby Charlotte! A few important shout outs... A HUGE congratulations to Tim and Beth on the birth of beautiful little Charlotte Rose back in April. AND to Matt and Becca on the birth of little stun- ner Cecily Beatrice Rooke in August! PLUS a huge congrats to Julian and Kath who Baby Cecily! have tied the knot. Hurrah! Anyway, thanks to everyone for your contributions and I hope you all enjoy. Jess Julian and Kath!

It is specifically for people aged 50 plus and the time allocated to the individu- al varies according to sex and age. I turned 60 in April this year and decided that I needed to challenge myself to do the ‘Joss’. I’d never attempted really long distance before, my longest race being 26 miles in Gran Canaria. Could I do it? Would my body hold up? Could I keep focussed or even awake for the 18 hours which I’m allo- cated for the distance at my age! I have been influenced and inspired by the many people I have helped on their Bob Graham attempts. Beth, in particular, has stamina including a 40 miler in Gran Canaria been a great inspiration to me. After Beth’s in Feb and perhaps a Bull to Bull or Caw to successful Bob last year, I thought, ‘I can do Caw. Unfortunately, non of this happened this too’. due to a hard winter, infections and a good dose of flu! I started to build up my distance last Autumn with a view to an attempt in June 2018.

  • Long Excursion to the Lake District
    123 LONG EXCURSION TO THE LAKE DISTRICT. AUGUST 7TH TO 17TH, 1920. REPORT BY J. FREDElUCK N. GREEX, B.A., F.G.S., Director o] the Excursion. PLAn: 5. OWI~G to difficulties of accommodation the excursion, originally planned to include visits to the southern part of the Lake District, had to be restricted to places readily accessible from Keswick. While the glacial geology, physiography and minerals were not neglected, the chief object was to examine questions of vulcanicity, sequence and structure. The main controversial points were enumerated by the Director at an evening meeting on August 8th, when he gave a brief account of the points on which his 'views differed from those of earlier investigators. The foundation of his case lav in the identification of the .-, flow­ breccia'S," as lavas instead of tuffs or agglomerates, since this was the basis of his mapping. In this way he had arrived at a sequence in the volcanics, which had so far proved effective wherever applied. The larger part of this sequence was repeated ten times between Keswick and Coniston, so that the maximum thickness of the Borrowdales was probably only about 3,500 feet. This major folding was accompanied by concertina folding, especially in the softer rocks, in which the folded sheets often tended to horizontality. The Devonian folds were arranged fan-wise about an anticlinorial axis through Scawfell and the south of the Helvellyn mass. Working along these lines he had come to the conclusion, contrary to that of the Survey and the Cambridge School, that the upper and lower junctions of the Borrowdale Series were, as a rule, unfaulted, the volcanics resting conformably on the Skiddaws and being covered with a strong unconformity by the Bala Coniston Limestone series.

  • 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.

OR some time past I have, as too rare opportunity offered, F been trying to sol\'e certain structural problems in the Lake District. For the most part this \\'ork has consisted in following certain geological lines across country, particularly the junctions of lavas and tuffs. This has involved or occasioned observations on the volcanic phenomena; and, as the district is readily accessible, of infinite variety, and of unequalled interest among British areas of igneous rocks, I have thought that a considera• tion of the vulcanicity, though as yet imperfectly kno\\'n, and some discussion of the light which it throws on igneous action generally, would be of interest to the Geologists' Associa• tion. The main strip of mixed intrusive and volcanic rocks covers a wild mountain area of over 400 square miles, containing such famous heights as Scawfell and Helvellyn, and surrounding wholly or partly the lakes of Ennerdale, Buttermere, Derwent• water, Ullswater, Thirlmere, \Vastwater, Haweswater, Devoke \Vater, Coniston, Grasmere, Rydal, ElterWater and Winder• mere, with many lesser tarns. Every part is easily visited; the exposures are magnificent and the existence of complex systems uf folding, intersected by deep valleys, enables the various horizons to be examined along numerous lines and some re• construction of their original form and extent to be attempted.
