Barbondale and Calf Top New Year's Day 2019

This was an impromptu walk we decided to put on at the last minute, after our other impromptu walk from Arnside between Xmas and New Year.  There was such lovely weather this year over the Christmas break that it would have seemed rude not to!  A few of us met in Barbon and walked up over the…

That's Lyth Marshal's Walk January 2019

As per usual, early January sees us out checking that the route for our flagship event is alright.  It was indeed alright, if a little soggy, but that is only to be expected early in January.  We had a nice day and saw a few interesting things along the way, including some sculpture work headed…

A Wray of Hope February 2019

A day with fingers crossed for the weather worked out fine - we got round in dry weather if a little on the blowy side.  We met at Wray Castle and did a circuit towards Hawkshead taking in Latterbarrow and Claife Heights and Tarns and then down to Claife Station to take in the viewing platform…

Gummers How and Winster - March 2019

This was a re-run of a walk previously cut short due to snow, so it was great to see a bright morning for our walk.  Spring was definitely in evidence with plenty of Daffodils, and at one point a lovely frisky Fell Pony wanted to join us for the walk.  And note the lady taking her cat for a walk…

Dentdale and Aye Gill Pike April 2019

We were blessed with lovely sunshine once again for this walk.  A walk of two halves this - with some gentle riverside strolling in Dentdale at the beginning and the end of the walk, combined with a stiff climb over the long slopes of Aye Gill Pike.  This long ridge gives wonderful views in all…

Beyond Blencathra May 2019

May brought continued nice weather and a chance to bag some hills in the Lake District equivalent of the 'Out Back'.  OK well, you won't find many kangaroos out here, and whilst it was warm you are not in danger of dying of heatstroke, but it is a corner of the Lake District which feels a bit…

Ullswater Way June 2019

It was a rather soggy start, but the day improved for our 20 mile hike around the new Ullswater Way.  It is a great route giving wonderful views over the fells and also offering you plenty of opportunities for coffee stops along the way - we opted for the lovely cafe at Aira Force.  And because…
