May 2020



I hope you are keeping well and safe.

If you have been for your walk, have finished the gardening and decorating and the cleaning the house and you are fed up sitting by yourself with nothing to do, have a look at this album.
There’s a selection to browse from – ‘a random 2018 best’.
There are so many beautiful photos on file it was difficult to choose. I hope I have not missed anyone out. Let me know if I have and I will rectify the omission!
They are not in chronological order but they are all from late 2018.
It will remind you of how many good walks and such good company we have shared in the Club.

I know there are a number of members who are doing essential work at this time. We thank you for your generous and indispensable service.

The Fells will still be there whenever it is safe to travel and safe to walk on them.

Until then – keep well and enjoy the Album.

GLENRIDDING via POOLEY BRIDGE 3rd MARCH 2024

Image
                                                 What a wonderful day’s walking !         What spectacular scenery and conditions !   With reports that the Kirkstone Pass was blocked by snow the route was amended so that the coach entered the valley from the Pooley Bridge end. Some groups revised their planned walks but most were just delighted to see a good depth of snow on the fells above about 1500’ and had come prepared for it, Stuart’s group was first off the coach near Pooley Bridge to commence a 12 mile walk along the eastern side of the Lake - through Howtown, Sandwick and Silver Bay with panoramic views of the snow on Helvellyn and its close neighbours. Pat and Simon’s groups started from Watermillock to visit the popular local waterfalls and then followed the newly established lake side path to Glenridding. Th...

BARBON to SEDBERGH 7th July 2024

Image
  There were four walks available this week, and three private. In fact, five of the groups followed very similar routes – but at different speeds, obviously ! Starting from Barden Park - Paul’s, Geoff’s and Stuart’s groups headed for Castle Knott and the Calf Top ridge. Following the ridge north, they turned at Combe Scar to descend by Long Bank and Brown Knott to the valley. Here they picked up the Dales Way and Pennine Journey path to Sedbergh. Approximately 12 miles.  And then the rain really started ! Meanwhile the Oldham Group had travelled south east from Barbon to cross to the Marble Steps Pot area and ascend Grargarath Fell. They followed this ridge to Great Coum and down to Dent and back to Sedbergh - demanding 17.5 miles. Two groups stared from Sedbergh itself. Pat led her group over the Settlebeck Bridge to follow the twists and turns of the River Rawthey till it joined the River Lune near the spectacular Lune Viaduct, and then back through the lanes and farm...

Broughton in Furness 23rd June 2024

Image
                                             It is not the most popular part of the Lakes District but it is exceptionally beautiful with winding lanes, paths and spectacular views. On the one side we can the sea and on the other the glorious mountains. The Oldhams were the first off the coach as early as Penny Bridge to commence a fearsome 17.5 mile trek south down the Ulverston Penninsula, to cross to Askham in Furness and then turn for Broughton. However they failed to achieve their target – they only did 17 miles! Gawthwaite was the next stop where most of the walkers left the coach. Two groups – Steph’s and Stuart’s headed south while the others – John’s, Mike J’s and Mike B’s headed north. Stuart aimed for Gunson Height ridge and followed it down to Bank House Moor. At Askham in Furness they took the Coastal Path to Kirby in Furness, Foxfield Bank and finally ...
