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. -

2011 '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'. A man, walking alone, reported himself to be lost in the Cat Bells area. We spoke to him on his Cat Bells - Maiden Moor mobile phone and were able to ascertain that he had a torch and GPS and was on a path. Putting 01-Jan 18:59 area everything together, he was advised to walk downhill to, hopefully, arrive in Grange village - which he did by 20:15 hrs. A 46 year old lady slipped on ice and broke her arm. Conditions were very cold, so it was fortunate for all concerned that the Great North Air Ambulance was able to fly to the scene and 1 03-Jan 13:00 Blencathra summit take her to hospital in Carlisle. 15 members - 1 hour 30 minutes 2 walkers got lost in a whiteout and went to ground in a stone shelter. We worked out where they probably were from information given over the phone. We found them very cold but 2 07-Jan 15:20 Bowscale Fell summit otherwise well and walked them back down to the valley. 23 members - 3 hours 25 minutes 2 climbers got into trouble when completing the climb and requested help in getting out of the Great End - Left Hand 3 08-Jan 17:10 gully.

Cumbrian Alchemy (2012-2014)
ARTISTS Cumbrian Alchemy (2012-2014) Robert Williams and Bryan McGovern Wilson Cumbrian Alchemy project United Kingdom The Cumbrian Alchemy project explores issues emerging from an enquiry into convergent relationships among the nuclear and other energy industries, archaeological monuments and oral traditions of the North Lancashire and Cumbrian region in the north-west of England. Topically, it focuses on ideas of “places of power”, issues and discourse associated with hazardous industrial sites, long-term nuclear repositories, matters of “deep-time” with respect to the recording and remembering of these repositories, language preservation and stewardship of the land. The project was supported by Arts Council England and the University of Cumbria. As part of the fieldwork, sites were visited at the nuclear facilities at Heysham 1&2 reactors, historical site of Sellafield and the associated training facility for vitrification of nuclear waste. Historical and heritage sites were explored at Heysham in North Lancashire, as well as a variety of prehistoric archaeological sites in the region including the monuments of Long Meg and her Daughters, the cursus at King Arthur’s Round Table near Penrith, and the stone circle at Castlerigg. The fieldwork stage led to the making of new work, notably three large-scale Diasec photographs, the series of drawings included in the exhibition at The Rheged Centre (February-April 2014) and Centre Mondial de la Paix at Verdun (September 2014), and a collaborative sculpture in which a collection of stones sourced from folkloric sites in Cumbria, were sent to New York to be cast in uranium glass. These were then returned to Cumbria with their radioactive doubles as part of the sculpture Ghost Stones (Figure 10). -
