Southport Fell Walking Club

  It was a perfect day for fell walking and 41 members made good use of the opportunity. There were four group walks and six smaller private groups. What a wonderful range of peaks and crags accessed by the Fell Walkers! Every peak in the area seems to have been visited and enjoyed. The Photos tell the story. Thanks to Alan, Dawn, Geoff, Ian, Paul C., Mike, Simon, Steve J and Stuart for their quality photographs.

From the A66 the Oldhams sped off to tick off Great and Little Mells and then follow Aira Beck down to the very popular Aira Force. At Matterdale End Stuart’s group left the coach aiming for Groove Beck and Randerside to access all the Dodds. They eventually crossed Sticks Pass to descend over Raise to Glenridding. A very short while afterwards Anne, Helen and Graham left the coach at Thorneythwaite,   heading for Ulcat and devious paths down to Aira Force. Everyone else was off at Dockray.    Paul’s group headed for the Dodds but descended by Whitestones. With time and energy to spare they added Sheffield Pike to their card. Both Pat and Steph’s party and Mike’s group had the same target in mind – Glencoyne - but used different paths. Pat followed the lane to Downthwaite and crossed Brown Hills
