2010 Club Experience - Cheap Weekend Walking Breaks Enjoy the High Pennines, Hadrian’S Wall & Durham on Our Annual Short Summer Break
“Outdoor activities for all” 2010 Club Experience - Cheap Weekend Walking Breaks Enjoy the High Pennines, Hadrian’s Wall & Durham on our annual Short Summer Break Thursday 1st to Monday 5th July 2010 John Hillaby’s Journey through Britain: “No botanical name-dropping, can give an adequate impression of the botanical jewels sprinkled on the ground above High Force. In this valley, a tundra has been marvellously preserved; the glint of colour, the reds, deep purples, and blues have the quality of Chartres glass.” High Force Booking Information & Form High England – Hadrian’s Wall and The North Pennines, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, for much of its history a wild and dangerous frontier zone until the union of the crowns in 1603 largely ended centuries of war with Scotland. Today, it is sadly an area often overlooked by walkers as we head further north to the mountains of Scotland or to the Lake District. On our Club Experience summer short breaks we seek remoteness, the lure of hills, trails and paths to suit all abilities, places of culture and history and a destination that can enable us to escape for a short while from the stress of work and enjoy the social fun and community we all crave. Blackton Grange www.blacktongrangefarmhouse.com I promise will surprise - surrounded by rolling uplands, quiet lanes, dry stone walls and scenic reservoirs it is the perfect destination to escape the hustle and bustle and enjoy a relaxing break, with the comforts of home in a spectacular setting. This great venue can sleep up to 45 persons, but for our club experience long weekend the maximum number accommodated will be 28 persons, giving us a minimum of 6 double/twin rooms available and no more than four persons will share the other spacious bedrooms (these shared rooms will be allocated on a single sex basis unless booked by couples or friends who may wish to share).

The North Pennines
LANDSCAPE CHARACTER THE NORTH PENNINES The North Pennines The North Pennines The North Pennines Countryside Character Area County Boundary Key characteristics • An upland landscape of high moorland ridges and plateaux divided by broad pastoral dales. • Alternating strata of Carboniferous limestones, sandstones and shales give the topography a stepped, horizontal grain. • Millstone Grits cap the higher fells and form distinctive flat-topped summits. Hard igneous dolerites of the Great Whin Sill form dramatic outcrops and waterfalls. • Broad ridges of heather moorland and acidic grassland and higher summits and plateaux of blanket bog are grazed by hardy upland sheep. • Pastures and hay meadows in the dales are bounded by dry stone walls, which give way to hedgerows in the lower dale. • Tree cover is sparse in the upper and middle dale. Hedgerow and field trees and tree-lined watercourses are common in the lower dale. • Woodland cover is low. Upland ash and oak-birch woods are found in river gorges and dale side gills, and larger conifer plantations in the moorland fringes. • The settled dales contain small villages and scattered farms. Buildings have a strong vernacular character and are built of local stone with roofs of stone flag or slate. • The landscape is scarred in places by mineral workings with many active and abandoned limestone and whinstone quarries and the relics of widespread lead workings. • An open landscape, broad in scale, with panoramic views from higher ground to distant ridges and summits. • The landscape of the moors is remote, natural and elemental with few man made features and a near wilderness quality in places.

Freshwater life Martyn G Kelly, Trevor D Cris, Ben Lamb and Brian Whitton Introduction Without the River Tees there would be no Teesdale and so, whilst much of the attention in this book is focussed on the plant and animal life in the fields and fells, we should not ignore either the river or the numerous tributary streams that feed it. Cow Green Reservoir, too, plays an important part in the story of Upper Teesdale, not just because of the ways in which it has altered the landscape and habitats in the upper valley, but also because the decision to impound the river precipitated many significant ecological studies and, ironically, raised the profile of the Teesdale rarities beyond a small band of botanical cognoscenti. The River Tees was the first British River to receive a detailed biological survey (by Butcher and colleagues in the mid-1930s). This was followed in the 1970s and 1980s by studies of the upper reaches of the main river and its tributaries by Durham University and the Freshwater Biological Association (later Institute of Freshwater Ecology and now Centre for Ecology and Hydrology). Since the previous edition of this book, further studies have investigated a wide range of factors including gravel, heavy metals, availability of salmonid spawning habitat and water colour. The upper tributaries of the Tees range from torrential streams, fed at times of peak flow mainly by surface run-off, to calcareous streams with some or much of their water from limestone springs. Those with the most water from springs are the ones which vary least in flow and have the highest calcium concentrations.

Historical Journey Along the River Tees and Its Tributaries
Historical Journey along the River Tees and its Tributaries Synopsis The document describes a virtual journey along the River Tees beginning at its source; the perspective is as much historical as descriptive of the current scene. Where significant tributaries join the river, they also are tracked back to their start-points. Particular attention is paid to bridges and watermills because of their intimate associations with the rivers, but nearby buildings, both religious and secular are also given attention. Some people have been specially important to developments associated with the river, and brief biographical notes are provided for them. Finally, I would stress that this is very much a personal account dealing with facets of interest to me during the 30 years or so that I spent living and working near the River Tees. Document Navigation I do not provide either a contents list, or an index, but to aid navigation through the document I give here page numbers, on which some places appear first in the text.

Results for Each Water Company
EA-Water EA-Water Resources! REVIEW OF WATER COMPANY YIELDS APPENDIX 2 - RESULTS FOR EACH WATER COMPANY M ARCH 1998 Introduction This appendix contains the detailed deployable output results for each water company. The appendix is arranged by Environment Agency Region. Each Regional grouping contains an Agency aquifer sustainability map, followed by detailed results for each company, consisting of an Agency commentary, a resource zone map and the breakdown of the results. Groundwater unit assessment The Agency has reviewed each of the aquifer units in England and Wales to establish whether: • long term reductions in groundwater levels are occurring, and whether • adequate water resources have been reserved for river and other environmental needs. A simple "water accountancy" procedure has been used considering factors such as the natural recharge to the aquifer, the quantity taken by existing licensed abstractions and the environmental requirement for water, primarily for river flows. The procedure allows each aquifer unit to be placed into one of the three categories defined as follows: Category 1 no overall sustainability concerns Category 2 at sustainable limit Category 3 sustainability concerns This is a generalised approach; the nature of the method means that it is not definitive and more work would be needed to ascertain the environmental needs of any aquifer unit that has been placed in Category 3. Similarly, the overall balance of an aquifer unit may place it in Category 1, but there may be site specific problems associated with particular abstractions.

Walk the Way in a Day Walk 24
Walk the Way in a Day Walk Baldersdale and Lunedale 24 Reservoirs An enjoyable walk running beside the reservoirs of 1965 - 2015 Baldersdale and Lunedale and crossing a series of moorland ridges. The remote farm where Hannah Hauxwell once lived and a Bronze Age tumulus are passed along the way. The return route follows a railway trail and quiet roads. Length: 13½ miles (21¾ kilometres) Ascent: 1,591 feet (485 metres) Highest Point: 1,427 feet (435 metres) Map(s): OS Explorer OL Map 31 (‘North Pennines - Teesdale & Weardale’) (East Sheet) Starting Point: Hury Reservoir south car park, Baldersdale (NY 967 192) Facilities: Public toilets at the north car park. Website: http://www.nationaltrail.co.uk/pennine-way/route/walk- way-day-walk-24-baldersdale-and-lunedale-reservoirs The Reservoirs The starting point is reached by turning off the B6277 at the north end of Cotherstone and heading 3 miles (5 kilometres) up the Baldersdale road. From the car park at the south end of the dam, walk ¾ mile (1 kilometre) along the road until, just before Willoughby Hall farm, iron gates lead to a hardcore track (1 = NY 956 189). Following the track above Hury Reservoir, when it turns onto the dam at the foot of Blackton Reservoir instead join a permissive path running along the south shore. This becomes narrow as it loops around wooded inlets where streams empty into the reservoir. Eventually a farm track is joined as it crosses Hunder Beck by a bridge (2 = NY 933 181).
