AGM Grange - November 2022

Our AGM in November 2022 involved a walk from Lindale to Saskills hill and then the AGM was in the Cumbria Grand Hotel in Grange over Sands.  Here are a few photos from the morning walk.      

Comedy Way - What a Laugh October 2022

The Comedy Way - we needed a laugh so we chose this two day walk as a small project for the group in October 2022.  The route is from Ulverston round to Morecambe via Grange over Sands, so can easily be divided into two days using the railways (if the trains behave - they didn't but the buses are…

Llangollen Round - October 2022

We were very lucky with some glorious sunshine after a rainy week - when we spent a weekend tackling the Llangollen Round. It's just 34 miles or so, but with roller coaster hills all the way round so it stretched our legs.  Lovely accommodation and hospitality in general to be had in Llangollen…

Staveley to Longsleddale July 2022

A rather damp day saw us walking from Staveley over to Longsleddale and back across the Staveley Head Moors.  We had done this route before in the reverse direction, and thought it would be nice to give it a try this way round - and we can confirm it works either way.  Brollies were needed in the…

Windermere Wanders Ambleside to Threlkeld June 2022

Our second walk in the Windermere Wanders Series was an epic 4 day trek from Ambleside to Threlkeld, via 36 Wainwright Hills.  It was designed originally for a long weekend, but the Lake District lack of weekend accommodation in the honeypots along the way, forced us to change the plans to mid…

Windermere Wanders Windermere to Ambleside May 2022

May saw us tackling a group of 14 Wainwrights taking in a huge loop from Windermere Railway Station through to Ambleside.  There are much quicker ways to travel between these two towns, but probably nothing ever could be so scenic (or exhausting).  We had a brilliant day, thank goodness for the…

Melmerby Ridgeline April 2022

A sparkling, but chilly day saw us heading up from Melmerby to complete the ridgeline over Melmerby Fell, Fiend's Fell and Black Fell.  It was certainly a day for many layers of clothing, mostly all kept on all day, but very invigorating and enjoyed by a large turnout.  Snow still on the ground…

Wet Sleddale and Swindale - January 2022

We got away with a January walk in this remote corner of East Cumbria, wrapped up warm and dry.  A lovely route over rough moors with decent tracks takes you away from Wet Sleddale Reservoir, over the fell down into the lovely RSPB managed Swindale.  Then we came back using tracks along part of…
