This paper presents an engineer’s account of the appraisal, investigation, assessment of structural action and the design and execution of repairs for stabilising the structure. The analytical tool employed to interpret the flow of force was a thrust-line graphical equilibrium analysis. It will be demonstrated that this analytical approach accords with the observed structural pathology, thus giving a clear understanding as to where the loads are going, that they may be effectively grappled with. Through thrust-line analysis, continued stability could be demonstrated despite substantial changes in the foundation conditions. It seems fitting that this efficient, robust and confidence-building tool is the same used by the engineers who originally designed many of these bridges.

This document may be reproduced with prior permission of the Environment Agency. Environment Agency Eden and Esk Abstraction Licensing Strategy 2 Foreword Water is the most essential of our natural resources, and it is our job to ensure that we manage and use it effectively and sustainably. The latest population growth and climate change predictions show that pressure on water resources is likely to increase in the future. In light of this, we have to ensure that we continue to maintain and improve sustainable abstraction and balance the needs of society, the economy and the environment. The water environment in the Eden and Esk catchments has a high ecological value, recognised by the numerous designations found here. It is critical to maintain this high status whilst also supporting other needs in the catchment, such as the strategically important supply of water to Cumbria and other parts of the North West region.

  • Eden Castles Walk Kirkby Stephen to Penrith a Four-Day Self-Guided Walking Tour Through Beautiful Rolling Countryside
    widen your horizons Brough Castle Eden Castles Walk Kirkby Stephen to Penrith A four-day self-guided walking tour through beautiful rolling countryside TRAINSFORMING ADVENTURES www.countrytracks.info Brougham Hall Eden Castles Walk 67km/42 miles Getting to Kirkby Stephen & Where to Stay Kirkby Stephen station lies on the sensational Settle-Carlisle Railway, make the connection direct from the West Coast mainline at Carlisle, an hour’s southbound journey. So you could stay a night in Carlisle before making that leg of the trip, knowing that your first day’s walk is only a four-hour walk to Brough-under-Stainmore. Though more likely you will be happy to complete your initial train stage and stay locally. With the use of taxis from the outset you may stay in Kirkby Stephen, Brough or Appleby or nearby village accommodation in-between. It is quite practical to consider staying two or three nights in the one place, forward and back tracking in the taxi. Though with a little aforethought and advance booking you can one-night stand at the end of each walking day. TO CUSTOMISE YOUR STATION TO STATION WALK CONSULT PAGE 30 2 Character of the walk A procession of field-paths in an undulating landscape, the very essence of the English country idyll. However, boots are pre-requisite footwear, after rain, gaiters an asset too. There are no great gradients nor hills to climb, just the pleasantest of country walking throughout. The route takes in some lovely villages, especially meritorious Maulds Meaburn, Crosby Ravensworth, Bampton and Askham. The first two days are guided by the Eden, while day three leads cross-country via the Lyvennet valley and the final day sweeps down the Lowther to the Eamont.

Follow the trail around Eden and discover some of the myths and legends unique to Eden. Explore the Myths and Legends of Eden 1. Giants Grave, Penrith In the graveyard of St Andrews Church in Penrith is the 'Giants Grave', where it is believed that Owen Cæsarius - king of Cumbria between 900 and 937 AD - is buried. The 'Giants Grave' is a collection of ancient grave stones comprising two 11' high stone crosses and four hog-back stones. An excavation of the 'Giants Grave' showed a skeleton underneath with a sword. The four hog-back stones surrounding the grave are said to represent the four wild boars he killed in Inglewood Forest. Directions: From the Musgrave Monument (clock tower) in the centre of Penrith, follow the street between the two banks where you will find St Andrew’s Church and the Giant’s Grave. 2. Emma and Sir Eglamore of Aira Force - In medieval times a girl called Emma lived near Aira Force. She was betrothed to a renowned knight called Sir Eglamore. He had to leave her to follow the Crusades and Emma became so disturbed that she started sleep walking to Aira Force.
