  • The Lake District Mountain Trial Association
    LDMT 2016 Course Planning Comments Sept 2016 The “Newfield” provided an excellent base for this years event, planning unfamiliar routes away and back to the pub was a challenge, the location of the map handout enabled the position of the 1st controls to provide good route choices, the run in was aptly described as an “adventure trail”. Early stages in the planning had the classic course returning via Hard Knott and Dunnerdale Forest/ Harter Fell but without making it too technical the route would have been rather dull, switching the route to return over Grey Friar then meant avoiding recently erected fences. Creating a loop to the north side Wrynose that gave good route choice without “dog legs” took quite a few attempts, Andy and I agreed that we didn’t want the north side of Blisco to be a favourable option but it was used, as was a route over Blisco’s summit! On the medium course I initially had control 5 in the vicinity of Hell Gill Pike, this would have given more weight to the option of a contouring route to the north of Wetherlam, limits on number of checkpoint officials and no obvious feature for a control resulted in the knoll to the south of Grey Friar being used and hence “dog legging” out of control 4 for some competitors. The short course is always problematic in that you are catering for novices and the elderly at the same time, the roughness of the terrain a particular problem for the elderly, the introduction of a “running assistant” takes away some of the worry but a separate course may have to come.

  • Newlands Valley Walk
    Newlands Valley Walk You can start this walk from virtually anywhere in the Newlands valley; I started from a couple of our Lake District cottages at Birkrigg on the Newlands Pass. Walk down the road in the direction of Keswick, you will soon come to a tight bend at Rigg Beck where the ‘Old Purple House’ used to stand. There is now a Grand Designs style house on the site but the purple colour remains on the roof garden and the front door. Carry on along the pass till you come across a gate on the right hand side and a finger post indicating a footpath beyond the gate. The path leads down into the valley fields and across a minor road. A track climbs up the other side of the valley and emerges at Skelgill. Walk through the farmyard and turn immediately back on yourself to join the path that runs alongside Catbells, towards the old mines at Yewthwaite. After about half a mile, the path descends into Little Town where you can enjoy a well earned cup of tea at the farm tea room. Now there are two options from Little Town. For a longer walk, go back up onto the track and carry on down the valley. This will take you to the old mines at Goldscope where you can peer into the open shafts on the side of Hindscarth. Alternatively you can walk along the road towards Chapel Bridge and stroll down the lane to the pretty little church. The church serves tea and cake on weekends and during the summer.

  • 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.

  • Grasmere & the Central Lake District
    © Lonely Planet Publications 84 Grasmere & the Central Lake District The broad green bowl of Grasmere acts as a kind of geographical junction for the Lake District, sandwiched between the rumpled peaks of the Langdale Pikes to the west and the gentle hummocks and open dales of the eastern fells. But Grasmere is more than just a geological centre – it’s a literary one too thanks to the poetic efforts of William Wordsworth and chums, who collectively set up home in Grasmere during the late 18th century and transformed the valley into the spiritual hub of the Romantic movement. It’s not too hard to see what drew so many poets, painters and thinkers to this idyllic corner LAKE DISTRICT LAKE DISTRICT of England. Grasmere is one of the most naturally alluring of the Lakeland valleys, studded with oak woods and glittering lakes, carpeted with flower-filled meadows, and ringed by a GRASMERE & THE CENTRAL GRASMERE & THE CENTRAL stunning circlet of fells including Loughrigg, Silver Howe and the sculptured summit of Helm Crag. Wordsworth spent countless hours wandering the hills and trails around the valley, and the area is dotted with literary landmarks connected to the poet and his contemporaries, as well as boasting the nation’s foremost museum devoted to the Romantic movement. But it’s not solely a place for bookworms: Grasmere is also the gateway to the hallowed hiking valleys of Great and Little Langdale, home to some of the cut-and-dried classics of Lakeland walking as well as one of the country’s most historic hiking inns.

  • Folk Song in Cumbria: a Distinctive Regional
    FOLK SONG IN CUMBRIA: A DISTINCTIVE REGIONAL REPERTOIRE? A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Susan Margaret Allan, MA (Lancaster), BEd (London) University of Lancaster, November 2016 ABSTRACT One of the lacunae of traditional music scholarship in England has been the lack of systematic study of folk song and its performance in discrete geographical areas. This thesis endeavours to address this gap in knowledge for one region through a study of Cumbrian folk song and its performance over the past two hundred years. Although primarily a social history of popular culture, with some elements of ethnography and a little musicology, it is also a participant-observer study from the personal perspective of one who has performed and collected Cumbrian folk songs for some forty years. The principal task has been to research and present the folk songs known to have been published or performed in Cumbria since circa 1900, designated as the Cumbrian Folk Song Corpus: a body of 515 songs from 1010 different sources, including manuscripts, print, recordings and broadcasts. The thesis begins with the history of the best-known Cumbrian folk song, ‘D’Ye Ken John Peel’ from its date of composition around 1830 through to the late twentieth century. From this narrative the main themes of the thesis are drawn out: the problem of defining ‘folk song’, given its eclectic nature; the role of the various collectors, mediators and performers of folk songs over the years, including myself; the range of different contexts in which the songs have been performed, and by whom; the vexed questions of ‘authenticity’ and ‘invented tradition’, and the extent to which this repertoire is a distinctive regional one.

  • W Scandale and Red Screes
    Walking with Polartec Ambleside route 1: Scandale and Red Screes Secretly tucked away behind Ambleside is the high valley of Scandale. In times past it provided a direct link between Ambleside and Patterdale for foot and packhorse traffic but with the surfacing of the route over Kirkstone Pass it has fallen out of favour and become something of a backwater. For walkers however this change in fortune is a real bonus, as it provides an unexpectedly quiet and attractive route into the hills, direct from the hustle and bustle of Ambleside. From the top of the dale at Scandale Pass one option is to break out North West and head towards peaks like Dove Crag, Fairfield or St Sunday Crags. This is a fairly full on choice and will suit experienced walkers. If you are new to the area or want a little less challenging area then the fine summit of Red Screes is the mountain to head for. It sits in a lofty and slightly detached position and can be reached easily from Scandale Pass by a brisk ascent to the South East. Its distinct summit is marked by a trig point and a cairn from where you get superb panoramic views. To the South you can look out over the roofs of Ambleside and along the length of Windermere then to the North you can peer through the depths of Hartsop to the shining waters of Brothers Water and Ullswater, and if that isn’t enough to the West and East you have the great peaks of the Central and Eastern fells.
