Our Clinical Team has cared for almost 6,000 patients and their families during this time and we are proud to provide this vital service in the north and east of Cumbria, Would you like to join hundreds of walkers to raise funds for Hospice at Home during this celebratory year? If so, we’d love to welcome you to the Hospice at Home 20 Challenge! It’s a tough challenge covering 20 miles of stunning Lake District scenery, with 10 peaks to conquer along the way. There is an option to complete an 11 mile/5 Peak route and return transport to Braithwaite Village Institute would be provided from Buttermere for those wishing to do this option. The event will take place on Saturday 3rd June 2017 and will start and finish at Braithwaite Institute, near Keswick (our Base Camp for the day). We are looking for teams of 4 people to enter, which can be a mix of your family, friends, colleagues and neighbours – all we ask is that participants to be over the age of 16 (under 18s must be accompanied by a responsible adult), be of reasonable fitness to complete the challenge and be willing to train and fundraise to help local charity, Hospice at Home. Our day will begin with an early start as registration will open at Braithwaite Village Institute from 6am. A “Grab and Go” breakfast station will be provided to give you an energising boost to start the day. The walk will begin from Braithwaite Institute and in the morning you will climb the five peaks of Catbells, Maiden Moor, High Spy, Dale Head and Robinson. You will be met at the top of each peak by event marshalls, if you have any queries they are on hand to assist you. You will also be asked to ‘check-in’ at various points on route, which will be advised prior to the event. A refreshment stop is provided at Buttermere Village Hall, just over 11 miles into the route. Snacks and water will be available here, although each participant is encouraged to bring their own lunch. For those wishing to complete the 11 mile/5 Peak Challenge you will finish the route here and be taken back to Braithwaite in a support vehicle. The afternoon will feature the conquering of Whiteless Pike, Wandope, Crag Hill, Sail and Barrow before your triumphant arrival back to Braithwaite Village Institute, to the warm welcome of our event team. Refreshments will also be served. Congratulations will now be in order as you celebrate the success of completing this fantastic challenge!

  • 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.

  • Inn Way to the Lake District
    Walking Holidays in Britain’s most Beautiful Landscapes Inn Way to the Lake District The Lakes Inn Way is a 90 mile circular walk starting and finishing in the popular tourist town of Ambleside. This trail takes in some of the more remote corners of the Lake District, and takes you through the Lake District’s stunning deep sided valleys, along lake shores and over remote mountain passes – as well as past over 40 traditional Lakeland inns. The full route takes you through the popular tourist towns of Ambleside, Coniston, and Grasmere (site of Dove Cottage, former home of the Romantic Poet Wordsworth), as well as through a few of the Lake District’s most impressive valleys – Borrowdale, Ennerdale, and Great Langdale, linked together with paths over high mountain passes, with great views of the surrounding fells. A highlight is a visit to remote Wasdale Head, in the shadow of Scafell Pike, the highest mountain in England. Why is the route known as the Inn Way to the Lake District? Because it is devised so that at each day the route passes a pub at lunchtime and there will always be one nearby – or you will be staying in one – at each overnight stop. There are many traditional Lakeland Inns to choose from, – so you can plan your trip looking forward to log fires, local ales and good food, often made with local produce.

  • Frog Graham Blog
    Frog Graham blog As the fantastic summer slipped away and I always seemed to be too busy doing something else I kept finding more and more reasons to put it off – too hot, family holiday, triathlon club relays, too windy – but it wouldn’t go away and on Friday 14th September I knew I had to have a crack or go bonkers over the winter thinking about it. I had intended to go a week earlier but the high winds had put me off. I’m not sure I would have got round if I had tried as I reckon I would have been pretty cold coming off the hill and even colder getting out of the water. Hats off to those who were braver than me and got round safe and sound a couple of days before and after. Stuart and Carol had been all set up to swim and canoe the lake sections with me last week but with 18 hours to kick off I had no-one to help on the hills or in the water. A quick text to Martin, “Are you free tomorrow?” and swim support was sorted. No-one available to run though, but with a decent chance of clear tops and not too much wind forecast I was good to go. On Friday night it was still breezy but the forecast was consistently saying that it would calm down on Saturday and that the cloudbase would lift to well above the tops for most of the day so it looked safe enough to go for it.

  • A Day in the Life of a Fix the Fells Lengthsman
    Editor’s note: Society member Rick Toyer is a volunteer for Fix the Fells, the Society’s main beneficiary in 2017. After reaching the top of the path at Levers Funds raised that year were earmarked to repair the badly-eroded path at Long Stile, High Street. That work is Hause, we take the decision to retrace our steps due to be completed later this year and Rick will write about that project after its completion. Meanwhile, I asked back down the path to get off the fell. Exiting if he would write about a typical day when he volunteers as a lengthsman, spending many hours in all weathers to via the Old Man would be more difficult in the repair and maintain footpaths on the fells. Lengthsman is a centuries-old name for a person who was responsible current conditions, with the fells shrouded in for maintaining a length of road. cloud. On the way down, we check the drains again to make sure they are taking the water off the path as desired. Only then, with our job done, do we stop by the path to eat our bait A Day in the Life of a before pushing off for the final walk through the boulder field to arrive back at the car, Fix the Fells Lengthsman thoroughly wet through. Today was one of those days when, whatever we had worn, we knew we were going to get soaked to the skin. On arrival at the Walna Scar car park, it is obvious that today is going to be a typical Lakeland day with the cloud down and persistent rain, which warrants the donning of full waterproofs.
