Hudson House Centre Reeth REETH AND DISTRICT GAZETTE LTD ISSUE NO. 252 JUNE 2017 Your local news magazine for the Two Dales. PRICELESS REETH AND DISTRICT GAZETTE LTD First Thoughts . I was going to start off this month with the first line of a medieval English round from the mid-13th century: Sumer is icumen in - because summer is almost here. But then I found out that its meaning is not as it sounds (Summer is coming in) but, Summer has arrived. So that’s no good. Unless of course you are a meteorologist (which sounds like you should study a meteor, right?) in which case summer has indeed begun for you, seeing as how under meteorological definitions, all seasons are arbitrarily set to start at the beginning of a calendar month - 1st June for Summer. Unless of course you are visiting from Ireland where according to the Irish Calendar, summer begins on 1st May and ends on 1st August, rather than the meteorological definition of 1st June. For the astronomers amongst you, you’ll have to wait until 21st June for the summer solstice. Except that reckoning by hours of daylight alone, the summer solstice marks the midpoint, not the beginning, of the season therefore this date is also known as midsummer. In which case, summer must have started sometime early in May. Unless of course you are following the Christian calendar which designated 24th June, the feast day of the early Christian martyr St John the Baptist, as Midsummer’s Day. Traditionally though, Summer is associated with hot or warm weather; in which case, Summer was on Thursday 11th May. What did you do last summer?

  • Mould Side: Lead, Chert and Grit – a Circular Walk
    Mould Side: Lead, Chert and Grit – a circular walk About 3.8 miles / 6.1 km or 3-4 hours when you stop and look at the landscape. Good walking boots and appropriate clothing is essential. There are several short sections usually no more than 20 metres in length, which are steep climbs or decents of grassy banks. You can usually zig-zag up these. Walking down Stoddart’s Hush requires walking of rocks but this isn’t very difficult other than choosing your path over the rocks. Stoddart’s Hush, by far the most spectacular hush to visit, is one of those ‘off the beaten track’ places which is well worth the effort of getting there. I have placed all the photographs at the end of this document, so that you can just print the front 5 text pages of the guide to take with you. Location: From Reeth turn by The Buck Hotel to go up Arkengarthdale. Between the village of Langthwaite and the CB Inn turn left towards Low Row (sign post = Low Row). The lane climbs up hill passing some large lead mining spoil heaps. Just passed the last spoil heap the lane continues to climb, but after approximately 200m it passes over a flat bridge with stone side-walls, located at the bottom of Turf Moor Hush. Park either side of this bridge on the grass verge. There is plenty of room for many cars. Route: Using your GPS follow the route up Turf Moor Hush. The first 20 minutes is all up hill. About 75-80% of the hill climbing is done whilst your are fresh.

  • Swaledale Museum Newsletter 29 Spring 2020 Print
    Newsletter No.29 Spring 2020 A message from the Curator As I write this, in mid-April, I am hoping that we will be able to resume ‘service as normal’ in the Museum this season. However any forward planning has become an almost impossible task as the situation changes from week to week. Ever the optimist I have decided to assume that we will be re-opening on 21st May and be running our programme of events. However, checking ahead will be paramount as we adapt to the latest guidelines. One of the benefits of the lockdown has been longer and more considered messages between Lidar image of Reeth - thanks to Stephen Eastmead acquaintances.
