From here, we will climb to Thornthwaite Beacon (784m) with its distinctive summit cairn. We gradually ascend the vast High Street ridge to the summit and trig point standing at 828m before a long descent to the Straits of Riggindale. Unfortunately, the climbing isn´t over yet – we have three more tops in quick succession – Kidsty Pike (780m), Rampsgill Head (792m) and The Knott (739m). With the serious ascent now out of the way it is a relatively easy return to Glenridding via Angle Tarn, Boredale Hause and Patterdale . Grade B+ Leader Colin Manning Red Screes and High Hartsop Dodd 7.2 miles (11.6km) 1510ft (460m) Today’s walk starts at the Inn at the top of Kirkstone pass. We begin straight away with a steep climb up the side of Red Screes on a route called the Kilnshaw Chimney. We can take our time up here as it is a rocky ascent and the hardest part of the walk. Shortly after reaching the top of the Chimney the ground levels off more to reach the summit of Red Screes, the highest part of the walk. From here we descend to the path crossroads at Scandale pass. After continuing for a short grassy climb we turn off this path to Little Hart Crag before descending again to the lower summit of High Hartsop Dodd. A grassy descent from here takes us down to the path which passes Brothers water and gives a nice gentle stroll all the way via Crookabeck, Rooking and Patterdale to arrive at Glenridding. If, upon reaching Patterdale, we find we are going to be back too soon we can chose to add a short visit to Lanty’s tarn. Grade B Leader Tony Ingham Gowbarrow 7½ miles (12km) with 1400ft (427m) total ascent This walk will either start at Glenridding and end at Aira Force or the other way round. I would prefer to end in Glenridding and start at Aira Force as there is more to do in Glenridding at the end of the walk, but it will require the willingness of the coach driver on the day to run us on to Aira Force after finishing the other drop offs in Glenridding (depends whether he thinks he can turn round somewhere to go back to Glenridding). Either way the walk is near the maximum recommended total climbing for a B because it involves the ascent of Gowbarrow, which is a Wainwright standing at 1578ft (481m). Those choosing to do this walk need to be aware of that. Assuming the start will be from Aira Force, we first climb up to the main waterfall taking the "Squirrel Route" to get there. After viewing the falls we follow a path northwards on the east side of the stream before turning east to climb steeply to the trig point at the top of Gowbarrow. We descend on the other side of the mountain to a derelict shooting lodge and from there proceed westwards with superb views over Ullswater for all of the 2 miles back to Aira Force. The final 3 miles is undulating and mostly along the shoreline of Ullswater into Glenridding. It is said this section passes the spot where Wordsworth saw his host of golden daffodils "beside the lake, beneath the trees, fluttering and dancing in the breeze". Grade C Leader Roy Smith Glenridding Valley and Lanty’s Tarn 4.5 miles (7.2km) 650ft (198m) The slightly shorter walk takes into account the fact that the total climbing is slightly above the norm for a C walk. From the car park (toilets available – 30p) we start by walking along the southern side of Glenridding Beck. We cross the beck at Rattlebeck Bridge and make our way to Greenside Road. From here we make our way uphill, with Glenridding Screes to our right, as we walk we will pass the Y.H.A hostel and Mountain Rescue Post, arriving at the disused lead mine. From here we cross Glenridding Beck via a footbridge and traverse the lower slopes of Birkhouse Moor on the south side of the valley. On our way down the valley we make a diversion to visit Lanty’s Tarn, which is well worth a visit. From the tarn we make our way back to Glenridding and welcome refreshments. Should anyone have had enough climbing, the ascent and descent to Lanty’s Tarn can be missed out, meaning climbing would be reduced to 400 feet in total. Please remove muddy boots before boarding the coach & check that you take all your belongings with you. Thank you .

  • 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.

  • Chapter Three
    Chapter Three In 1906 Canon Rawnsley wrote a book entitled Months of the Lakes, which featured a chapter about Mardale and the hunt. Rawnsley didn’t’ like hunting but the following passage suggests either he actually went or interviewed someone who did, The following text is copied from the original. THE MARDALE SHEPHERDS' MEETING. There lies to the east of the great High Street range a little water flood the Roman soldiers looked on with delight, for it called them back to their own lakeland hills, but they looked on it too with awe, for its waters seemed as black as the Stygian lake they feared. Ages before the Romans ran their high street, this lake was cared for by the shepherd children of Neolithic times. Their camps, their burial grounds, their standing stones are with us on the fell sides that slope to this lake which we call Haweswater to-day. The Vikings gave it that name, for it means the Halse Water or Neck-Water, and the neck is the promontory that the Messand beck in lapse of centuries has made, that runs out from the north-west shore towards the Naddle forest, and so nearly divides the lake in two, that one end is called Low Water and the other High Water. An aerial view of the old lakes of Haweswater, notice the narrowing between high and low water, called the straits, the new road scar can be seen on the far side of the valley. One can get to the lake from Penrith up the Lowther valley or from Shap and Bampton, and when one has reached it one cannot linger by the shore if the sun is westering, for there is no house of call nearer than the Dun Bull, and this is a mile beyond Haweswater, beneath the Nan Bield Pass.
