Saturday 23 February 2019 - Old Parrock Hill

The bright sunny morning made an encouraging start to the Fellwalkers’ Saturday ramble from Oxen Park. A pleasant valley was followed to the track leading to High Ickenthwaite, the trail continuing to the edge of Grisedale Forest.

After a coffee stop, the group climbed up through the forest to join a track which ultimately led onto Bethecar Moor. Old Parrock Hill was the next objective being the highest point of the walk.

The group later headed to Arklid Wood and on to Stock farm from where the descent to Abbot Farm was made through Park End Wood.

After rescuing a sheep which had fallen onto its back, the party soon reached and crossed Colton Beck and returned to the start. The walk was led by Clive Horsford.

Sunday 3rd February 2019 - Staveley

On Sunday afternoon, the Fellwalkers set off from Staveley passing under the railway and across the A591 to access the snow-covered fields leading to Ashes Coppice. From there they followed Ashes Lane to the Rather Heath footpath giving access through woods towards the main road once again.

A track to Bowston was followed by a field crossing leading to the River Kent. Plenty of stiles were giving legs a thorough exercise and there were more to come! On reaching Cowan Head the group climbed the path leading to Cragg Farm and headed down to join the Dales Way for the return to Staveley.

This short five-mile walk, in rather damp conditions, was led by Clive Horsford.

Saturday 20th October - The Rut

On Saturday 20th October Burton Fellwalkers walked from Patterdale up the path on to Boredale Hause and then across to ascend to Beda Fell Knott. The cloud came down making visibility difficult at times as they continued along the ridge to Brock Crag and Allen Crag where lunch was taken.

The descent was to Howstead Farm at which point the group turned left to go along the path through Boredale Valley where the atmosphere was charged with the roars of the Red Deer Stags at rutting time although because of poor visibility not many were visible.

They then climbed up by Hause Crag and returned to Boredale Hause before descending back to Patterdale and the White Lion for a well earned cuppa or pint.

There was a "B" walk this day which was a shortened version of the main walk. Kath and Jenny turned round at Beda Fell Knott and had a wander around before finding a perch on Hause Crag where they sat and had lunch listening to the roars and watching a stag which Jenny christened Angus. His lady friend was not interested but I am sure that was just to tease him and he would eventually win her over. They sat and watched until it was too cold to stay and then returned via the Hause to Patterdale.

They didn't visit the pub as Jenny had managed to sit down in the only bit of water they crossed but both agreed it had been a really great day. Walk leaders were Kath Kirkman and Mary Bullimore.

To add to the story, on returning home I discovered that my camera was missing which meant a return on the Monday to try to recover it. No-one had handed it in at Patterdale so that had to be a climb back up to Boredale Hause and a search of Hause Crag. I had just about given up hope but climbed down the steep grassy bit into the valley and actually found it. It had rolled down the hill. Despite sitting in the rain for two days it worked and I am attaching photos to show that there really are deer in Boredale Valley. Kath.

Saturday July 21st 2018. Fountains Fell (From Stainforth)

A group of seven members, two guests and Bess left Stainforth at 9.30am on an overcast and some what cool day for this summer.

A ‘10 mile’ route was planned (which turned out a tadd longer – but that’s another story) walking north from Stainforth, picking up the Pennine Way on the lower slopes of Pen-y-ghent and following south over Fountains Fell towards Malham Tarn, before returning to Stainforth via Catrigg Force.

We left Stainforth taking a small foot path north through pasture and climbing steadily up onto the open moor towards Pen -y-ghent. As we climbed we could see that the tops were cloud covered – Pen-y-ghent never clearing during the day.

We picked up the Pennine Way at Churn Mill Hole (A large sink hole on a fault line which runs from Sulber Nick the other side of Ribblesdale) and followed to the road at Dale Head where a short break was had.

The Stainforth – Halton Gill road took us north for about a mile, before turning right to begin the steady climb up Fountains Fell (668m – 2190 ft). We reached the summit for 12.30 and lunch. Views back towards Pen-y-ghent are normally spectacular, but today somewhat subdued due to the cloud cover. For us the cloud had lifted off the summit of Fountains Fell and views could be had north and east over towards Wharfedale, Buckden Pike and Great Whernside.

It was on the summit where we met out first group of ‘Duke of Edinburgh’s - a group of lads from London – maybe it was a North/South thing or strange old fogies out walking, but they were somewhat difficult to engage with, and despite being volunteers, did not look like they were enjoying their expedition challenge – well out of their comfort zone. By contrast the group of girls from Hull, who we passed on the descent, were enthusiastic and full of beans.

The steady descent was on a good path and very soon there were long distance views of Malham Tarn. Once at the Malham – Arncliffe Road we then left it immediately to climb, on a nice grassy path, over Knowe Fell. The path then took us down to the Langcliffe road which we followed for about a mile, before turning right across undulating field to the final descent down a stoney lane into Stainforth for 4.15pm. (Passing Catrigg Force – normally worth a short detour)

Well earned refreshment was taken at the Craven Heifer in the village, before returning home. (Three of us having an excellent fish supper in Settle on the way home.)

Apologies for the 10 ‘Dougie’ miles – the route was slightly underestimated in distance – (I must invest in a longer piece of string!) Dougie Bell

Tuesday 19 June 2018 - High Cup Nick

Originally planned for Saturday 16 June, the walk had to be rescheduled to the following Tuesday due to an appalling weather forecast.

Leader John Jones. A party of six walkers and faithful Bess left Dufton Village car park at 10.30 am on a pleasant overcast day. The old mine track was followed initially through pleasant farm land and then after passing Pusgill house up and out on the open moor land. A stop was made for coffee at the Lime Kiln above the site of the old smelting works, only the outline of the flues running up the fell side remain.

Continuing up through the steepening rough valley a green path was taken at the side of the valley to avoid the tedious stony ascent. The top of the climb, the Shooting box, was soon attained and was the highest point at 2200 feet. Lunch was then enjoyed beside the adjacent and peaceful Great Rundale Tarn. After lunch the beach at the tarn was explored but the search for ice creams proved fruitless.

The outlet beck from the tarn was followed, initially along a re-enforced shooting track past a large number of shooting butts, and then over almost pathless moor as the beck grew in size and became Maize Beck.

A number of Fell Pones were seen in the distance and we were lucky enough to witness the first steps of a newly born foal.

At Maize Beck Bridge, where the Pennine Way crosses on its way from Dufton to Cross Fell, the interesting erosions by Maize beck were seen. Watch Hill was ascended to give views of the wilderness moorland on the top of the Pennines, particularly to the east towards Teesdale.

The Pennine Way from Teesdale to Dufton was joined and High Cup Nick was soon reached. Here the party relaxed after their exertions and enjoyed the amazing spectacle of the High Cup valley and surrounding fells.

Leaving the Nick, the path on the northern edge of the valley was followed where the isolated pillar of Nichol’s Chair was seen. Nichol is reputed to be a local Cobbler who, for a bet (amount unknown) climbed the pillar, sat on the top and repaired a pair of shoes! Strands Beck was crossed – the outflow from Hannah’s Well. Then the rather tedious stony track of the Pennine Way was followed directly back to Dufton, where to our dismay we discovered the Tea Shop had just closed at 4pm!!

An interesting walk of 10.4 miles to view a spectacular geological feature – the effort involved was probably worth the reward, (debate) but definitely a walk needing good weather.

Sunday 3 June 2018 - Beacon Fell Walk

The Fellwalkers Sunday walk began at Beacon Fell Country Park. Clive Horsford led the large group through the Rosemary Bullivant Memorial Forest and on through buttercup bedecked slopes down to the lower road from where White Lee Lane took them to Brock Bottoms.

The river Brock was followed to the foot of Snape Rake Lane which was ascended to enter Boggy Wood. The path over a footbridge led to the Waddicar Outdoor Pursuits centre and soon a large fallen tree provided a convenient place for a refreshment break during which the ruby wedding anniversary of two of our group was celebrated with wine and cake.

With bright blue skies overhead, the river was followed further to join the road at Weaver’s Farm and on to Higher Brock Mill. Field paths then led to woodland giving access to Beacon fell summit from which the views were extensive. It was then a short step back to the car park.

Saturday 19 May 2018. A circuit of Crummack Dale, below and on Moughton Scar from Austwick

Leader Kerstin Nagel. On a beautiful cloudless day 11 walkers and the faithful dog Bess set out from Austwick and headed for Oxenber and Wharfe woods. Austwick Beck was crossed on the stone slab bridge and Oxenber woods entered from Wood Lane.

To our joy we discovered a carpet of Blue Bells dotted with a profusion of wild flowers - Orchids, Primroses, Cowslips, and White and Pink Wood Anemones to name those we recognised. We slowly ascended the wood marvelling at the wonderful sight about us and enjoying the bright sunshine. Pausing at the summit we then descended through Wharfe wood still accompanied by the same profusion of Blue Bells and wild flowers.

On leaving the wood the sharp outline of Pen-y-ghent appeared against the cloudless sky. We crossed Wharfe Gill Sike and on reaching the hamlet of Wharfe skirted it on its northern side, passing a tiny cottage featured in Wainwrights’ “Limestone Country” to join White Stones Lane. This is the old track between Wharfe and Horton in Ribblesdale which later becomes Moughton Lane.

We encountered a number of runners and dog propelled joggers undertaking a Peter Bland Challenge from Clapham to Horton and back, and marvelled at their efforts on such a hot day. To provide more pleasant walking and to avoid the runners we took to a parallel field path through pleasant meadows to re-join the track near Crummack Farm.

The day was now hot and frequent water stops were made

At the head of the dale the track passes a ruined shooting box and Moughton Whetstone Hole (a spring) before ascending Moughton Scar. At the top of the ascent there is a prominent cairn where we stopped for a leisurely lunch in the hot sunshine (hats and sun cream obligatory!) and admired the far reaching views south over the dale.

After lunch we carefully continued along the edge of Moughton Scar and followed an indistinct path to join the well-defined path down to Begger’s Stile – a safe route down through Moughton Scar back to the valley. After a short discussion it was agreed to extend the walk slightly by going up to Sulber Gate and taking the high level path above Crummack to Norber, rather than down Begger’s stile and return via the dale bottom.

At the top of the ascent to Sulber Gate a brief stop was made and the group photo taken.

Continuing along the open high level track (between Clapham and Selside) we were accompanied by Skylarks and saw a pair of Buzzards. After Passing Crummack Farm a short ascent and a narrow high level path above the intake wall took us to the top of the Norber Erratics enclosure.

Descending through the unique erratic bolder field we once again marvelled at the size and shape of the “dark Silurian rocks” which contrast so markedly with the surrounding “Carboniferous Limestone” (Wainwright sic). At the bottom of the enclosure we passed beside the unusual limestone formations of Nappa Scars to reach Norber Brow and cross Crummack Lane.

Field paths, crossing Norber Sike, returned us to Austwick to end one of the most memorable days out that we have had in recent months. Many thanks to the leader for a well-planned, engaging walk – assisted by glorious weather. Statistics – 9.4 miles, 1400 feet of ascent.

High Newton , Sunday 6th May 2018

On probably the warmest day of the year so far , nine members parked cars on the disused road near Whitestones Caravan Park , High Newton .

As the party started out on the footpath in the caravan park , a grass snake was brought to the attention of the party by a very observant member . We continued through the park , climbing steeply , and enjoying extensive views . On reaching the summit of Whitestones more all round views were absorbed .

We crossed more open ground before entering woodland ( the path was boggy in places here ) and a brief lunch stop was taken when we reached the forest track . During the break we heard the song of a cuckoo and the drumming of a woodpecker .

We then walked through Bog End Moss , across fields and onto a tarmac road which took us past The Height farm and on to High Newton Resevoirs .

We made a circuit of the Resevoirs and rejoined the road and returned to the cars .

The weather was excellent throughout the walk which was about five miles long . The leader was Mike Earl .

High Rigg, Saturday 21 April 2018

Leader John Jones. On a perfect day of clear skies, sunshine and a light breeze, a group of walkers and the small faithful dog Bess, now 14, started from the United Utilities car park at Legburthwaite.

Climbing Wren Crag we were saddened to see that a number of the fine mature pine trees had been uprooted, perhaps by “The Beast from the East” storm some weeks earlier. At the top of the climb a pin sharp Blencathra came in to view.

At Long Band a stop was made for coffee and to celebrate the chairman’s birthday. Continuing along the ridge at a leisurely pace to enjoy the unprecedented weather the summit of High Rigg was reached. This was the final Wainwright summit for one member and the group celebrated the achievement with the contents of some bottles!

After lunch on the summit, the group descended to visit St. John’s in the Vale church. Continuing on across Low Rigg, Castlerigg Stone Circle could be seen across the Naddle valley and Tewet Tarn was visited. On reaching the minor road the route continued via Shundraw, Row End, Yew Tree Farm, and Bridge House – the former home of John Richardson the builder of the current St. John’s in the Vale church. A steady pace was maintained along the good track on the western side of St. John’s Vale to reach Low Bridge End Farm where tea and various refreshments were purchased and consumed in the pleasant surroundings.

After tea a short walk (including a short stiff climb) brought the group reluctantly back to the cars at Legberthwaite. The magnificent weather transformed this pleasant 8 mile walk in to something quite special. John Jones 25-4-2018

HEEL TOE HILL, SUNDAY 8TH APRIL 2018

The Fellwalkers Sunday afternoon walk started from High Nibthwaite on the East side of Coniston Water. Clive Horsford led the party up the rough track to its summit with views overlooking the lake. On the way, the party endured the exhaust fumes and noise from several trail bikes and quad bikes which passed on their way both up and down the track.

After a brief pause, a grass and heathery track was followed to the Top of Selside summit giving extensive views all around. The almost perfectly circular Arnsbarrow tarn was observed as the group continued for a snack stop on Heel Toe Hill.

From here, an undulating walk across this upland wilderness led eventually to the summit of Arnsbarrow Hill. After a sharp descent, the moor was crossed further, now in bright sunlight, to the wall bordering High Bethecar Farm from which the final descent back to High Nibthwaite was made.

Silverdale, Jenny Browns Point and some Wells, Sunday 4 March 2018

Leaders Kath Kirkman & John Jones. On an unpromising day 11 walkers set out on a circuit of Silverdale starting at the village centre. Accompanied by patchy rain, The Lots were crossed to reach The Cove, where an unusually high tide was discovered, raising fears that the section along the shore later in the walk might be impassable.

At The Cove the site of Cove Well was seen and John explained the origins of the Wells in the Silverdale area that had been in use until mains water arrived in 1938. By now the rain had stopped and the weather was improving.

Cove road and then the ancient track of Wallings Lane were followed to Elmslack, where Elmslack Well (behind the litter bin!) was viewed. Following the track along the bottom of Eaves Wood, the water tanks above Woodlands and the high “Spite Wall” were pointed out.

The party continued along the pleasant track through Eaves Wood now in welcome sunshine. The route crossed the car park and entered The Row. Some distance along The Row an unmarked footpath to the left was taken, revealing a large area of magnificent Snowdrops. The slightly challenging path was followed in to the little limestone valley that led to Dogslack Well. This is the only true well in Silverdale - the others being springs emanating from perched water tables – and has a hand pump housing mounted above it.

Continuing along the track the pond at Bank Well was reached and then the path down to Lamberts meadow followed. The crossing of this normally boggy meadow was made easier because the ground under the surface was still frozen after the intense cold of the previous week. At the far end of the meadow a stop was made for tea at Burton Well were a variety of bird songs were enjoyed.

After tea the party followed the track up the rock valley to Bottoms Lane and then on to Silverdale Green were the path to Woodwell Cliffs was taken. Where the path turned down right to reach Woodwell our walk continued straight on to meet Stankelt Road where we turned left.

Passing the imposing Hazelwood Hall (previously the St. John of God Hospice and garden by Morson) and admiring the newly created Rock Garden at Hazelwood Farm, the path down to the shore at the eastern end of Heal Brow was followed. The path descends gently through pleasant woodland until the shore level is reached where some muddy conditions and rock scrambling are encountered. To our relief the tide had retreated making the shore line accessible.

A very pleasant walk along the salt marsh shore margin, with views across the bay, brought the party to the old copper smelting chimney, the first land mark of Jenny Browns Point. Another short section of rock scrambling took us to Browns Houses and the start of the hard track back to the village. A short distance after Browns Houses, the true Jenny Browns Point is reached and the remains of an attempted barrage (to Hest Bank?) can be seen.

Continuing up the road past Jack Scout (the Giants Seat was not visited this time) Lindeth Tower and Wolf House were reached.

The afternoon was drawing in and becoming more overcast again so the Tea Room at Wolf House Gallery was ignored and a direct return to the centre of the village was made via Lindeth Road.

A varied walk of 6 miles in pleasant conditions, after an exceptionally wintery week, was enjoyed by all – well, there were almost no complains!

John Jones 5 March 2018

ELTERWATER, WEDNESDAY 21 FEBRUARY 2018

February's Wednesday afternoon walk began in the village of Elterwater in bright sunshine. The Britannia Inn was doing a roaring trade as all the outside seating was fully occupied, not an option for our members said Kath.

The group walked along the riverside path towards Skelwith Bridge enjoying the great views of the Langdales. John was so taken with the view that he actually allowed a photo of himself on the bench by Elterwater.

Skelwith Force was not as forceful as hoped but was still worth the look. After crossing the river by the fairly new bridge we walked up through the woods and through the fields, passing Park Farm to reach the road at Low Colwith. We walked through the woods to Colwith Force, a new experience for some and had a short drinks break whilst admiring the spectacular view there.

Because of time restrictions we then returned to the road and made our way back to Elterwater.

ELLERSIDE, SATURDAY 17 FEBRUARY 2018

A group of the Fellwalkers led by Clive Horsford set off from Cartmel Racecourse passing through Park Wood to the clapper bridge over Hill Mill Brook. The brook was followed to Walton Hall Farm and up a lane past a water slide partially concealed by trees. On leaving the lane, a track by-passing Howbarrow summit led towards the Ellerside Ridge where a break for coffee was taken.

The undulating ridge was followed to a wall stile giving access to Speel Bank Farm. On this stretch, a cluster of deer were observed and duly photographed. From the farm, the group climbed back up to the ridge soon crossing a wall and passing through an area whose surface was perforated by cattle and numerous sheep. The walking so far had been a touch glutinous but relief came on reaching the lane near Grassgarth when a short walk took the group to the lunch spot at the edge of a new plantation.

Duly refreshed, the group splashed on to Over Ridge and Wall Nook crossing several fields and joining a track to Well Knowe. A few minutes later, Park Wood was reached and the retum to the racecourse made around a football pitch.

MASONGILL WALK, SUNDAY 4TH FEBRUARY 2018

8 members of Burton Fellwalkers met at noon and drove to the pretty hamlet of Masongill.

After parking near the telephone box the party proceeded along Masongill Fell Lane and onto the Turbary road .

After a couple of miles the all round views included the mighty snow capped Ingleborough, the Trough of Bowland and Morecambe Bay. As the trig point of Tow Scar was neared, we experienced a slight flurry of snow, which fortunately was short lived. We descended onto the Kingsdale road and enjoyed a brief light lunch stop, where to mark a birthday, a glass of wine was taken.

We took a right turn, and studied the orientation table. We then walked past the BT mast and looked at 'Toby's Fold ', a small well built stone building which contains a red sandstone arch created by the artist, Andy Goldsworthy.

Leaving the road, we crossed fields which took us through Fellside Farm, past Masongill Hall Farm and past Masongill House; once the residence of Arthur Conan Doyle.

On reaching the road, we were soon back at our vehicles. The walk was 6 miles long, and the leader was Mike Earl .

BLAWITH WALK, SATURDAY 20TH JANUARY 2018

Another frustrating day for Burton Fellwalkers as the weather again dictated a change from the advertised walk. The road over Kirkstone Pass was not at all good so it had to be Plan B.

We walked from the old church at Blawith along the lanes towards Tottlebank then along Long Rigg to visit an Ancient Bronze Settlement on Subberthwaite Common where some of the group found the carcass of a dead sheep and decided to take the skull home so plastic bags appeared. We explored and had a coffee stop whilst thinking about the lives of the original inhabitants.

After retracing our steps we went down the road a bit and inspected the Giants Grave where Gordon was urged to try it for size. From there we continued downhill and discovered another sheep's skull!! It also went into a plastic bag. Soup or what?? At the bottom of the road is Heathwaite House where we turned right following the path circling Blawith Knott.

After a pause for lunch we followed the paths via Cockenskell to return to the start. The old Church at Blawith has been adapted and is now a house. We chatted to the owner in an effort to have a look around but he wasn't forthcoming.

Despite our disappointment at having to resort to Plan B we had a good day and did NOT get wet.

Kath Kirkman.

KENTMERE LOW LEVEL WALK - SATURDAY 18TH NOVEMBER 2017.

10 members and one dog left Burton at 9am and parked near the Hollingsworth and Vose factory in Kentmere valley.

We walked through the factory site , afterwards pausing briefly to view the quay on Kentmere Tarn , and followed the clear path above the tarn to Kentmere Hall , where renovation work was being carried out . The field we crossed was a 'bit clarty' underfoot but it did not deter our hardy group and we carried on past Hartrigg Farm and on to the reservoir , which was extremely low .

We took a lunch break at the dam wall , and then walked down the other side of the infant river Kent , past Overend and the Green Quarter. We then followed the tarmac road back to our vehicles. The walk was 9.7 miles long and the weather was chilly but dry . Leader Mike Earl.

DOW CRAG FROM TORVER - SATURDAY 16th SEPTEMBER 2017

The weather forecast for the day was a little daunting, indeed there were some extremely heavy showers on the M6, but all seemed well at the Memorial Hall as eleven Burton Fellwalkers and Bess, led by Helena Nixon, set out for Torver. The party arrived to find that the car park was surprisingly empty, and in no time at all the gentle ascent by Torver Beck had led to the first team photo opportunity. At this stage the sunshine was promising. Still following the Beck upstream but crossing to the north side, Banishead Quarry was soon reached, where elevenses were taken, but not before Kay had button-holed the photographer on spotting a rather attractive butterfly (image on website). Interestingly the Quarry pool is fed by a waterfall but lacks an outlet (as does Blind Tarn). Having been reclaimed by nature it provides a very picturesque backdrop to any stop.

From Torver, Dow Crag is always in view and at one stage Wetherlam put in a very resplendent appearance. The cone-shaped Little Arrow Moor is a fine accompaniment to the right of the approach to The Cove, where a path picks its way through the lower reaches of Goat?s Crag, the first bit of ?hand to rock? for the day. The five buttresses of Dow Crag greatly impressed on passing Goat?s Water, and the party settled down for what could perhaps be described as ?twelvsies?, whilst watching several climbers carefully inch their way up the clefts and face of the Crag.

The party then ascended to Goat?s Hawse, turning left, so to speak, to make the final approach to Dow Crag, but not without admiring the splendid views of the Scafells and Harter Fell, as well as the one back down The Cove. The scramble to the summit was interesting, and it is always at around this point that the realisation sets in that it?s a long way down! Getting off the summit was equally a bit of a challenge, but it was warm, the sun was out, and the area just below provided the perfect setting for lunch, with its widespread views of Coniston, Morecambe Bay, the Duddon Valley and Black Combe. Whilst Helena and the party were marvelling at the weather, a few black clouds were already plotting their revenge, and Black Combe was, well, black! However the descent by Buck Pike and Brown Pike was good and a glance over the edge towards Goat?s Water and Blind Tarn confirmed that it was still a long way down! Of particular interest was a formation that resembles a Polo mint, whereby a chockstone appears to have become wedged in the top of a ?U?-shaped rock. Also of interest was the barely visible Isle of Man.

The descent of the Walna Scar Road was interrupted by a mountain-biker who gave no warning, and three uphill motor-bike scramblers who made it clear they had the right of way. It was therefore good to get on the path to Torver by Cove Bridge and look back to admire the day?s work. Of course by now the rain had descended, which might explain why the party ?decided? to take different paths through the disused quarry. Two enterprising members produced umbrellas but sadly there was to be no Gene Kelly routine from Mike.

The path down the south side of Torver Beck was very wet in places, but it was gentle enough and the rain soon cleared, allowing the party to dry out before returning to Torver and repairing to Wilson?s, where refreshments and reflections were the order of the day, and the fish nodded their approval from the aquatic telephone box.

In some ways it was a strange day in that nothing really silly or outrageous occurred. Nevertheless it was an excellent one. Torver doesn?t always spring to mind as the starting point for Dow Crag, so the walk was well-chosen and led with great aplomb by Helena, who expertly kept all her followers, as well as the weather, generally in check.

Charlie Billington.

UNDERBARROW - SUNDAY 3 SEPTEMBER 2017.

Leader Gary Crayston.

Eleven walkers set out from the renamed Black Labrador pub in Underbarrow on a showery afternoon.

Turning right, the road was followed to the drive to Tranthwaite Hall, which was followed for half its length. At a secluded cottage with beautiful grounds, field paths were followed over the northern shoulder of Knott Hill. Gamblesmire Lane was joined and followed through woodland towards Cunswick Hall, which was in the process of being refurbished, ?A sign of the times? remarked one member!

Field paths were followed round the northern end of secretive Cunswich Tarn to enter Scar wood to ascend to the ridge of Cunswick Scar ? an escaped Dolphin was passed in the wood.

Walking south along the ascending scar eventually brought us to the Kendal to Underbarrow road. This was crossed and Scout Scar ascended to ?The Mushroom? shelter look out point. The rain had been steadily increasing driven by a light wind, so the opportunity of the shelter was taken for a short, cool, tea stop.

Refreshed, the group continued south along Scout Scar locating the steep descent to Barrowfield Farm. After the farm a steep section through Honeybee Wood and a wet pasture led to an awkward wall crossing into Barrowfield Lot. A narrow path led through this interesting mature Pine tree woodland where several patches of different fungi were encountered, including the colourful and rarer Fly Agaric.

Field paths were then followed above Tanyard Beck to reach Tullythwaite house, where memories of its period as a restaurant were exchanged. The lane was then followed back to Underbarrow, where wet clothes were thankfully removed and some members visited the pub for a meal.

A very good 7 mile walk that should definitely be repeated in better weather.

BOWFELL - SATURDAY 19 AUGUST 2017

Leader:- John Jones

Eight walkers and the small faithful dog Bess left the New Dungeon Gill NT car park at just after 9.30 am in light rain, hoping to complete the circuit of The Band, Bowfell, Ore Gap, Angle Tarn, Rosset Gill and Mickleden.

The forecast had been for intermittent showers with sunshine improving in the afternoon, so there was the expectation that the weather would improve as the day progressed. At Stool End farm we encountered the first squally shower, but the rain stopped as we started up The Band. Memories of bad ascents up the band were banished as we ascended the very well pitched modern path, with only a few awkward places over the underlying rock.

About half way up the rain returned in earnest, with steady light rain interspersed with windy squally showers. We found a little shelter for an uncomfortable coffee stop and then continued. The rain did not abate and near the start of the Climbers Traverse we discussed what to do, deciding to continue to Three Tarns hoping for a break in the weather.

At Three Tarns the weather had not eased and the wind felt stronger so we decided to retreat. Just below Three Tarns we found a little shelter below a small crag and stopped for a cold, damp lunch.

After Lunch we carefully retraced our steps down The Band where much of the path was now a stream and the exposed underlying rocks were distinctly slippery. But we reach Stool End again without incident. At this point the weather, of course, improved, and the walk back to the New Dungeon Gill allowed us to dry out a bit.

But as we enjoyed a warming cup of tea sitting outside the New Dungeon Gill Caf?, the heavens again opened, necessitating a rapid move to shelter! And the rain continued on the journey home until we reach Staveley, somewhat vindicating our retreat.

The intended route was 10 miles with 3000 feet of ascent, we managed 7 miles and 2400 feet of ascent, not bad at all! Many of us vowed to try the route again on a better day in the future ? it had been just one of those days!

John Jones 20 Aug 2017

WALK FROM SADGILL, SATURDAY 17 JUNE 2017.

Led by Kerstin Nagel: On a beautiful, hot, summer?s day, a select group of seven walkers left their cars at Sadgill at the end of the road up Longsleddale. We followed the old quarry road beside the infant River Sprint to the start of the climb up to Wrengill quarry and Brownhowe Bottom. As the dale closes in the track becomes steeper and a well-earned break for coffee was taken at the top of the climb.

Refreshed, we set about the second climb up Gatescarth Pass, which was even steeper than the first, but as height was gained a refreshing breeze was found which did much to help us reach the top of the pass.

Wainwright?s comment (Far Eastern Falls, Harter Fell 9) on our route is ?The Gatescarth route is particularly easy: a hands-in-the-pockets stroll with no steep climbing, the top being reached with surprising lack of effort. Nonagenarians will find it eminently suitable? None of us had our hands in our pockets!!!

At the top of the pass a beautiful view of Haweswater greeted us, the lake reflecting the deep blue of the almost cloudless summer sky.

We started out on the third climb to Harter Fell but decided to have lunch at the view point cairn before the summit so that the view of Haweswater could be enjoyed.

After lunch the final short ascent was made to the summit of Harter Fell, our first Wainwright of the day, where, due to the very clear conditions, the extensive views in all directions were admired.

Leaving the summit we followed the fence over marshy grass towards Kentmere Pike. Now on the Eastern arm of the Kentmere Horseshoe, the views across Kentmere of Yoke, Ill Bell and Froswick were enjoyed. Arriving at the unassuming summit of Kentmere Pike we claimed our second Wainwright of the day.

On the way to Shipman Knotts we took a short, early, tea stop, looking at the view down in to Kentmere, with our backs against a sun warmed wall. ?It doesn?t get any better than this? remarked one member, correctly.

Our leader carefully led us onwards to Shipman Knotts via the top of Goat Scar. Arriving at the rather strange top of Shipman Knotts (the actual summit is behind an unclimbable wall without a stile), we claimed our third and final Wainwright.

Descending steeply with great care, we reached the track between Kentmere and Longsleddale, where we chatted and basked in our achievement, not wanting, just yet, to return to the cars at Sadgill. Our final descent into Sadgill was accompanied by a number of toiling mountain bikers, and we secretly rejoiced that they had not been (and almost certainly could not go) where we had been in the high fells.

A wonderful, well led walk in the high fells on a glorious day, fantastic!

AROUND AIRA FORCE, SATURDAY 20TH MAY 2017

An unusual title for an unusual day, and one which could easily have carried the subtitle ?for spontaneous walkers.? Starting life as ?Swirl How etc? and later becoming ?Mardale Head etc?, it was finally presented on the day by leaders Keith and Kay Butterworth as ?Plan C Aira Force etc?, as it was believed that conditions might have been unfavourable on the high summits. The clue to the forthcoming day was probably in the etcetera.

In changeable weather eight Burton Fellwalkers and three dogs set out from the car park and soon attained Aira Force, which, whilst not in full spate, was nevertheless impressive following recent rain. The view from the overbridge was superb and underlined the sheer power of cascading water. The group then moved on, omitting Gowbarrow Fell in favour of contouring northwards and north-eastwards around its base, arriving fairly quickly at Ulcat Row, where two rather ancient and beautifully-presented cottages were unexpectedly encountered. The backdrop was the lonely but striking Great Mell Fell, soon to be joined by Little Mell Fell straight ahead. A road walk was required to reach The Hause, where the group was given the option of ascending Little Mell Fell. The decision was unanimous and the direction was straight up, passing through a disused quarry. The views of Great Mell Fell and Ullswater from the OS triangulation column were excellent but it was at this stage that the weather threatened and waterproofs were quickly donned.

The descent was interesting in that Kay apparently decided that she would like to get to Thackthwaite or the A66, but perhaps she was simply testing the wakefulness of the party. In the event a Bounty-type mutiny and another contouring exercise returned the group to The Hause, and with a little more road-walking a path on the right was quickly reached. Passing below a sheltering escarpment afforded the opportunity for lunch near Priest?s Crag and Rectory, where the gorse was beautifully yellow and particularly abundant.

The well-made path continued through Swinburn?s Park, where the recent removal of the pine trees offered an excellent outlook over Ullswater, although Hallin Fell and Place Fell did look a little sorry for themselves against the overcast skies. As the south-eastern base of Gowbarrow Fell was being circumnavigated, Kay identified a path up it, and there followed an episode reminiscent of ?12 Angry Men? (but without the ?angry?) wherein the members made the decision one by one to acquit themselves with enthusiasm on another ascent. Gowbarrow Fell was in fact an easy climb, although there were a couple of tricky bits on the way down. The views from the top were good, but the distance was hazy and the summits of Catstycam and the Helvellyn range were shrouded in mist. Significantly however, the rain had by and large held off.

Aira Force was passed again on the return to the car park, where one member astutely persuaded the catering staff to furnish the party with drinks and snacks ?al fresco? despite the caf? having just closed. By now the sun had come out, and suitably relaxed and refreshed, all were able to reflect on the meaning of ?around? and ?etcetera?, which in this case had signified a lovely circular walk heightened by a DIY, sort of ?off the cuff? approach to two unexpected but not particularly exacting Wainwrights. Stir into the mix the added bonus of Kay?s practical demonstration on the significance of north and south and Keith and Kay?s flexible leadership skills, and all the ingredients were there to provide what had been a humorous, good-natured, rewarding, and yes, largely spontaneous day.

PENDLE HILL, SUNDAY 7 MAY 2017

Leader: John Jones.

On a clear, dry, sunny afternoon 14 members and Bess, the faithful small dog, set out from Downham (height 439 ft) at 2.30 p.m. to ascend Pendle Hill (height 1827 ft). Field paths were followed towards Worston, beside a wood full of Blue Bells, to Worsaw End at the foot of Worsaw Hill. Then the road was followed to the road end between Angram Green and Moorside farms to reach the start of the old Permissive Path (before Open Access). The well-marked permissive path was followed with an initial steep ascent beside Burst Clough, then a more gentle ascent over open moor beside the wall to reach the final wall corner, where a much needed rest stop was made.

Another steep ascent reached the more gently sloping track that led to the southern top, marked by the substantial cairn built to commemorate 75 years of Scouting (1982). The extensive views to the north, where Whernside, Ingleborough and Pen-y-ghent could be clearly seen, and to the west to the Irish Sea, where enjoyed.

A cold breeze and an overcast sky hurried the party forward to the enclosed shelter further up the ridge where there was just sufficient room to seat all 14 of the party for the tea stop, Bess had to be content with the ground!

The cool air prevented a long tea stop and spurred the party on again to keep warm. The first summit wall was crossed by a high ladder stile (see gallery) and the intermediate summit (532m, 1745ft) was traversed to reach the second summit wall. Passing through the hand gate (thanks to Gordon?s assistance) a right turn was made to reach the true summit Trig Point on Big End at the north eastern corner of Pendle Hill (557m 1827ft). The views over the Colne valley to the east were admired.

Departing the summit to return to the second summit wall, we were surprised to meet a fully robed Muslim family, unadorned by rucksacks but wearing trainers, (see gallery), who cheerfully called out to us that it was a great day for a walk! From the second summit wall the descent was made down the direct path heading for Downham, at first fairly steeply then more gradually across the open moor beside Hookcliffe Plantation, reaching the minor road at Lane Head.

Field paths were then followed passing Clay House and eventually beside Downham Beck to return to Downham at about 6.30 p.m., having covered some 6.5 miles. On the return journey the four cars reached Burton together at 8.00 p.m. An excellent outing, perhaps a little too ambitious for a Sunday walk, was enjoyed by all on a glorious day.

John Jones. 8 May 2017

LIMESTONE LINK, SATURDAY 22 APRIL 2017

On a clear sunny morning 13 walkers and the faithful small dog Bess, set out from Arnside to walk the Limestone Link trail to Kirkby Lonsdale. Two cars were left at Arnside and two club taxis conveyed the remaining walkers from Burton.

Arnside Moss (now relatively dry) was crossed to reach Hazelslack (and a host of Mobile Home owners). The Coffin Route was followed to the Fairy Steps, where Clive?s birthday was celebrated with wine, cake and coffee and the view over the Kent Estuary admired on a beautiful clear day.

The trail continued through the Whin Scar woods to Slack Head and then beside Marble Quarry, over the wonderful Limestone pavement and through the woods to Hale.

Crossing the A6 with care, on the way to Pye?s Bridge farm, the memorial plaque commemorating the birth of John Taylor, the only English Elder of the Mormon Church, was inspected. The original route of the Limestone Link was followed past Pye?s Bridge Farm and on field paths to cross the main line railway on the new(ish) bridge on the way to Holme. Field paths were followed to reach North Road in Holme beside the new estate.

After walking north out of the village, a short section of the dangerous A6070 was negotiated to reach the safety of Holme Park Farm. The bridle way beside Holme Park quarry was then followed up the fell and over a sheep pasture to reach the road at ?the Top of Clawthorpe? where lunch was taken.

After Lunch two members returned to Burton by club Taxi and one member walked home. The trail was then followed to the top of Hutton Roof Crags and down to Hutton Roof village via the gentle path round the northern end of the crags. Leaving the village via Sealford Beck Bridge, field paths were taken to reach Longfield Tarn. Large open sheep pastures (a welcome change for tiring feet) were then crossed to reach High Biggins.

A short section of road walking led to more field paths leading finally to Devils Bridge, where refreshing tea and ice creams were enjoyed to celebrate the end of the walk. After a short delay due to an RTA (car overturned racing to a party it was said) the club taxis arrived to take some to Burton and some back to Arnside to be re-united with the cars left there. A bit of a challenging 12 mile walk was enjoyed on a beautiful hot sunny day. John Jones (leader).

BAMPTON AND BURNBANKS, SATURDAY 8TH APRIL 2017

The small party couldn't believe their luck on choosing such a superb day of full sunshine for the walk. They were tempted (but resisted) at Bampton Memorial Hall car park by the offer of breakfast by a group that were setting up a car wash event for the day.

Moving on, the group walked to Bampton Grange passing over the river Lowther and through the graveyard of the local church to the water meadows. These were traversed until reaching the lane at Hegdale where the lane was followed to Rosgill bridge. Here the Coast-to-coast way was joined and a rougher section through a delightful yellow gorse-enclosed corridor taken to join a lane near to Rawhead farm. From the farm, two meadows were crossed for the first glimpse of the Haweswater dam. A slightly soggy and hillier section took the group next to Park Bridge and via a permissive path to a substantial waterfall on Haweswater Beck and beyond to a three-bridge junction. A footbridge over the Naddle beck was followed by the old footbridge over Haweswater beck and then the road bridge over Haweswater beck. A short woodland track led the party to Burnbanks.

After admiring this attractive little hamlet with its rebuilt homes which had previously housed the dam builders, the path alongside Haweswater was followed to the footbridge over Measand beck where lunch was taken. The beck's cascades and waterfalls provided backgound noise as the ascent was made to the deer fence and footbridge over the beck again as the Measand valley levelled out. Observing the two stones of Four Stone Hill, the party passed a group of horses grazing peacefully in the bright sunshine, walked past the hill with its tarn and descended to Drybarrow farm.

Shortly after, a coffee stop enabled the group to enjoy extensive views over the valley below - a scene of tranquility - the only movement being that of lorries on the M6 seen on the distant skyline. Several fields were then crossed on the return to Bampton, the postoffice and shop supplying much needed tea and a free newspaper. It was a short step back to the memorial Hall.

MONK CONISTON, SATURDAY 18TH FEBRUARY 2017

Unfavourable weather dictated a change of venue for the Fellwalkers who, led by Clive Horsford, climbed from Glen Mary up to Tarn Hows. Later, at a coffee stop, ghostly reflections of trees in the tranquil waters of the tarn were observed through the mist.

The group then proceeded through Hill Fell Plantation reaching the Hawkshead road near Monk Coniston where a footpath brought them to Boon Crag farm. Guards Wood provided shelter for the lunch stop and the Cumbria Way was joined for the remaining route to Coniston.

The return was made via Far End and the path below Yewdale Fells to Shepherd's Bridge, continuing to the Car Park.

CALF TOP, SATURDAY 19TH NOVEMBER 2016

This might have been a day for lingering by the fireside, but not so for the fourteen hardy Burton Fellwalkers (including Bess) who gave up this pleasure to experience everything that the great British mountain weather could throw at them. And of course it was mountain weather, with Calf Top having joined the ranks of the elite only last year.

Ably marshalled by Mike Earl, who believed he was in Brigsteer, the group set off in very cold and gloomy conditions from the Village Hall in Barbon. The weather in no way minimised the view on the ascent from Eskholme, the cloud inversion that shrouded most of the valley staying in focus until Eskholme Pike had been cleared. It had been noted, however, that a heavy squall had been following the group from the direction of Low Barbon Fell, and sure enough it caught up at the cairn. Hastily donning waterproofs and expecting the worst, it was quite a surprise when shafts of light began to appear and the rain eased somewhat on the crossing of Thorn Moor.

It was replaced by snow on the long ascent up the ridge to Castle Knott, and by the time the cairn came into view the party was already trudging in at least six inches of it, a task made a little easier by a preceding group of walkers. With the sky a little clearer, good views were to be had of Low Barbon Fell and the Great Coum ridge, both resplendently white with spidery markings where snow hadn?t yet stuck. By contrast the Middleton area behind Howegill Head appeared to be basking in bright sunlight, with no trace of white whatsoever!

The snow continued to thicken on the final ascent of Castle Knott, as evidenced by the image of the cairn on the Website Gallery. What was particularly noticeable was the sudden onset of very low temperatures, which would explain Cecilia?s desire to dance and the party?s to quickly move on.

Calf Top involved another climb, which became increasingly difficult as the snow deepened and the mist settled in. Little was seen of Bess at this stage, but she was no doubt having to concentrate hard to avoid becoming completely engulfed (and I bet she loved it!). The trig point and its surrounds were a complete white-out, but the panoramic vista was absolutely stunning, according to Mike.

Having acknowledged and celebrated England?s newest mountain, the group did not tarry long before taking the Antarctic route down. Surprisingly the snow eased off, the weather brightened and it soon became quite a pleasant descent. A late lunch was taken in the dip before Castle Knott, where other walkers were able to express their gratitude for the snow having been trampled. Again there was a quick getaway, but not before the cold had taken its toll, in the sense that it was some time before normal service was restored to various extremities!

As the descent continued it became evident that a thaw was taking place, at least at lower levels. The surrounding skies only partly reflected this, as there were more areas of mist, rain, snow and squalls than there were of sunlight. And yet on the ground other areas were clear, the sun was occasionally intense, and the Lune glistened beautifully below the snowless cairn on Eskholme Pike. Further down the ground was extremely firm and relatively dry (apart from at the bottom), and Barbon was reached with absolute ease.

Fortunately the waterproofs had dried out, and having divested of them the Fellwalkers repaired to the Churchmouse Village Store where a very pleasant afternoon tea and the odd beer were awaiting. It had been a day of complete contrasts, there was much to reflect on, but most of all it had been a very unusual and enjoyable experience, a bit like the walk leader Mike Earl, whose efforts were acknowledged and greatly appreciated by all.

Charlie Billington.

ORTON, SUNDAY 6TH NOVEMBER 2016

Burton Fellwalkers met at noon on Sunday 6th November and drove to Orton , near Tebay .

Our group of 16 members , 4 visitors and 2 dogs assembled at the Coronation Shelter in the centre of the village . We then walked across fields to Scarside Farm and onto Knott lane . We continued on the track to The Knott, pausing briefly to admire the Gamelands stone circle . Heading towards Beacon Fell Monument, we enjoyed the extensive views and a short meal break along the way . The monument was built to celebrate the diamond jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1896 .

Our path then took us to the Appleby road where we turned left and walked through meadows to Broadfell farm and so back to Orton village . Tea and cakes were enjoyed by all at the famous Orton Chocolate Shop .

The leader was Mike Earl , the weather cool but mainly dry although in parts conditions underfoot were 'clarty' .

SATURDAY 15 OCTOBER 2016 SKEGGLES WATER

Leader John Jones. On a cool, overcast day eight walkers (Mike E, Peter M, Reg H, John J, Keith & Kay B. Cecelia H. and Katherine B.) and Keith & Kay?s small dog Bess, parked at Brunt Knot Farm (by kind permission of the owners Mr & Mrs Beck).

The bridleway over the shoulder of Brunt Knott was followed over the top of the moor towards Longsleddale. On the descent to Longsledale Black Beck was crossed via the convenient but well-hidden bridge. The descent was continued to Docker Nook farm. Below the farm, members of the party released a sheep from a wire fence and paused to reward themselves with a cup of coffee.

The walk continued along the bridleway on the west side of Longsleddale, passing Kilnstones and Wad?s Howe, with a little light rain requiring waterproofs for a short time. At Hollin Root farm the bridleway up through Spring Wood on to the moor was taken.

Before crossing the moor, lunch was taken inside the comfortable shooting hut at the top of Spring Wood (without permission, but the hut was not locked!). After Lunch the bridleway was followed to the wall at the top of the moor. From here an indistinct farm track was followed down to Skeggles water. The unmarked footbridge was used to cross Skeggles Water Dike near its exit from Skeggles Water to gain access to the shore of this desolate, hidden, but tranquil expanse of upland water.

After pausing to enjoy the peace of the location, the shore was followed westward to join the more distinct path leading to a large ruined barn. The barn is situated beside the junction of paths to Staveley, Kentmere and Sadgill, its purpose being unclear led to some debate.

After a short stop the bridleway back to Staveley was followed passing Park House, and at last the sky cleared and the sun shone. The final climb of the day was up a field path to Ghyll Bank and hence up again back to the cars at Brunt Knott Farm.

A quick departure was made so that tea could be taken at ?Wilf?s? in Staveley Mill Yard. Despite the lack of sun, this walk of 9.5 miles to some quiet and peaceful open spaces was enjoyed by all. John Jones 17-10-2016

WEDNESDAY 17 AUGUST 2016 - ENDMOOR, STAINTON AND CROOKLANDS

On a clear, warm, (almost hot) summer?s afternoon, ten walkers and two dogs started from Endmoor and climbed over the hill to Stubb Farm. Field paths were followed to Lorrimer Yeat and then via High Commonmire farm to Stainton.

The walk continued through Stainton village, viewing the pack horse bridge and then beside Stainton Beck to join the Lancaster canal at Stainton Bridge, where the party paused for tea. The canal is de-watered (dry) from this bridge north to Kendal.

After tea the canal (in water) was followed south, passing the damaged Stainton Aqueduct (over Stainton Beck) to Crooklands, where at Wakefield?s Warf the information board describing the horse drawn tramway from Endmoor Gunpowder Works to Milnthorpe station was perused.

With care, the party crossed the A65 and walked down the side of the Crooklands Hotel, past the bobbin works (now a garage), to follow Peasey beck.

As Peasey Back was followed the mill leat, tramway route and canal weir and feeder channel were noted. The route continued by Kaker Mill (in the distance), and joined the lane near Challon Hall to ascend back to the cars in Endmoor, to complete a leisurely 5.3 miles on a beautiful day.

The Leader was John Jones.

SATURDAY 16 JULY 2016 - STAKELEY PIKE

On a surprisingly sunny day, Clive Horsford led the Fellwalkers on a moorland walk starting from Greenholme. Long grass made the going quite heavy but after negotiating numerous stiles, the group reached the house at Low Crag where deer were sighted in the distant valley.

Continuing, the delapidated barns at High Crag were soon reached with a stop to celebrate the Secretary's birthday with wine and cake.

Suitably refreshed, the group next joined the ridge path which was followed to the cairn at the highest point of Crag Hill by Stakeley Pike. Excellent views all round were enjoyed, the gradual descent to the lunch point at Wasdale Old Bridge following soon after.

The rather wet track to Salterwath required some skill in avoiding wet feet but, on drier land subsequently, the Birk Beck was followed southwards to Scout Green. From there, the narrow lane ensured a dry return to Greenholme.

SUNDAY 5 JUNE 2016 - UNDER TOTRIDGE

Burton Fellwalkers finally gathered at Dunsop Bridge, the O.S. centre of Great Britain and 401 associated Islands. Some of us had been stuck in traffic and the world and his dog were out to enjoy the lovely sunny day. The phone box on the green is said to be the 100,000th public payphone installed by BT. We were a bit underwhelmed by what is supposed to be a special Landmark, it is only a bit of etching on a normal box.

We took a route past the lovely church (no time to look inside, even though it was Sunday) parallel to Langden Brook as far as Hareden Farm. From there we climbed up steep pastures to reach a path with Mellor Knoll on the left and the imposing fell of Totridge on the right, cue for a drinks stop to admire the views back to the Trough of Bowland.

We then made our way across the fields towards the woods where there were still lots of Bluebells and found a spot to have our snack and enjoy the views of the Hodder valley and across to Pendle Hill.

After crossing through Whitmore Plantation where there was evidence of storm damage with trees blown down, our next landmark was some hen huts, (there are only 2 now but a few years ago there were more so if these disappear, walkers will have to find other markers). We then continued past interesting looking holes marking the remains of lead workings but there was no access. After passing through fields yellow with Buttercups we hit the road and met Alfie, check his photo in the gallery. Despite our efforts he didn't seem interested in joining us and we carried on to meet the road at Burholme Bridge. As it was very hot, cue for another quick drinks stop.

The path continued alongside the River Hodder back to Dunsop Bridge. On the way we stopped to have a good look at the aqueduct erected in 1882 by Blackburn Corporation Waterworks. The day was warm and sunny, very enjoyable.

Leader was Kath Kirkman.

SATURDAY 21ST MAY 2016 - STOODLEY PIKE.

Early forecasts predicted that this would be a very wet, windy and misty day, but as the party gathered at Lobb Mill car park it was actually quite warm and dry which made it difficult to pick the right clothing. It did not go unnoticed that it had been five years to the day since three doughty members of the Fellwalkers had been ravaged (savaged?) by the weather on St Sunday Crag. With two present on the day, what were the portents? To add to this Keith Butterworth was proud to announce that any walk led by him (Kay claimed only to be riding shotgun) was likely to attract incidents, so the nine Fellwalkers, including new member Will Corkhill, set off with bated breath.

The first part of the walk, whilst rigorous, afforded splendid views of the Rochdale Canal and the surrounding country, and there was a preponderance of bluebells in one area of hillside. The village of Mankinholes, once on a packhorse way, also provided several interesting features, including an unusual horse trough and some extremely idiosyncratic stone seating arrangements.

Passing through Mankinholes the party started to climb Stoodley Pike and the Monument soon came into view. As it branched left up a well-stoned path the weather decided to fulfil its earlier promise and bombard the members with hail, wind and rain! There was barely time to don the waterproofs, and the Monument itself became a blessing rather than a feature, affording a lunch shelter of sorts, although acting as a chimney for the chilling wind. A rather wild and misty view awaited those who chose to climb the 39 steps in pitch darkness to access the platform.

After lunch Keith reassembled the bedraggled yet undaunted troops, and the party headed off in the tempest towards a stand of conifers (Sunderland Pasture). On reaching this the rain seemed to ease off and the light had certainly improved by the time Withens Clough Reservoir came into sight. Arriving at the dam by a series of lanes, the group circumnavigated the far side of the Reservoir, enjoying some fine views, before moving uphill past a ramshackle, obviously deserted building. This provoked a great deal of interest, inspection and discussion. It had obviously not been built on a shoestring and it was difficult to see exactly what function it might have previously fulfilled.

Moving on, the party followed more lanes and soon came across the ?Te Deum? stone, which carries the inscription ?Te Deum Laudamus?, signifying that it lies on a former coffin route which served the now long-drowned settlements in Withens Clough. Heading back towards Todmorden on another stoned path, and having crossed the Pennine Way at Withens Gate, Lumbutts Mill was eventually encountered. Although much of it has gone, the tower, in which three water wheels generated 54hp from two dams, remains intact with its spiral staircase. From here it was all downhill and back to the Rochdale Canal, which looked like it had been partially drained at this point, probably to facilitate refurbishment work on another mill alongside it.

On returning to the car park the realisation set in that the temperature had risen and that the rain had ceased some time ago, so the members took ?afternoon tea? (aka leftovers) in the picnic area, having previously rejected the terms and conditions of a local caf?/restaurant. All agreed that despite the weather it had been a very fine walk, with lots of beauty and interest, and thanks were expressed to Keith who had led it with aplomb (expertly supervised by Kay). As ever, adventure remained a feature of one of their walks, and from a personal point of view I found mine in the escape from Burnley, not only on the way there but also on the return, having been hopelessly lost in Nelson!

Charlie Billington.

SUNDAY 1 MAY 2016 - Gait Barrow and Hazelslack

On a damp Sunday afternoon eleven walkers set out from the RSPB Leighton Moss car park. The causeway was reached by means of the newly constructed walkway through the reeds, which was much admired. The path beside the golf course, through the John Mabson gate, was taken to reach Trowbarrow quarry and then the line of the old tram way taken to get to Red Bridge.

Moss Lane was followed to enter Gait Barrows Nature Reserve. The walk continued beside beautiful Hawes Water, somewhat dismal in the light rain.

On leaving Gate Barrows, the path behind Silverdale Moss was taken, where the unusual view of Arnside Pele tower on the skyline was almost obscured by mist. Carr House Lane and a field path led to the Pele tower at Hazelslack. A bridle way and field paths led to Leighton Beck Bridge, passing the site of Leighton Furnace. Field paths via East and West Coppices led back to Gait Barrows, where the steep path back to Moss Lane was followed.

Finally the track back through Trowbarrow returned the walkers to the start. A pleasant, if damp, 7 miles.

John Jones 6 May 2010

SUNDAY 3RD APRIL 2016 - CLOUGHA

In sunny conditions, the Fellwalkers, led by Clive Horsford, left Birk Bank Car Park and followed Rigg Lane to climb via Low Pleasant to Rooten Brook Farm. A steady climb from there alongside Rowton Brook led to the rather chilly summit of Clougha. The route continued eastwards over Plover Moss to a disused quarry which now houses three remarkable Goldsworthy sculptures which were greatly admired. After a short refreshment break there, the descent along the shooters' track was made to join the somewhat soggy path back to the start.

TUESDAY 23rd FEBRUARY 2016 - GREAT ASBY

Following a postponement from the previous Saturday, due to inclement weather, the Fellwalkers, led by Clive Horsford, set off on a brilliant day from Orton crossing several fields to reach Knott lane where the Gamelands ancient stone circle was observed.

An ascent followed to reach the summit of Knott providing spectacular views of the Pennines, Howgills and eastern Lakes hills. After a coffee stop there and the ancient settlement of Castle Folds had been noted, the main path was rejoined and followed to eventually reach the monument commemorating the jubilee of Queen Victoria in June 1887.

Narrow tracks were then followed on a circuitous route to a disused quarry for a lunch stop. Soon after, the Great Asby Nature Reserve was entered and followed to its southern boundary.

Still in bright sunshine, the descent took the party across fields to Scar Side farm and back to Orton.

SATURDAY 16th JANUARY 2016 - CRAG, KEER AND CANAL

Leader J Jones. 16 walkers and Bess (the small dog) started from Longlands on a cold, clear and frosty morning.

The field path beside Greenlands Farm was first followed to the Canal. Then the underpass under the Motorway was taken to gain the field path to Yealand. After crossing the A6 at Holmere Hall, the field path past Dykes House was followed to reach Yealand Conyers. Crossing the road, the paths to the top of Peter?s Hill and then to the top of Leighton Hall Drive were followed, with a coffee stop at the large lime kiln.

The well-hidden Three Brothers erratic boulders were then visited and Warton Crag climbed.

The Society is run by a Committee elected annually at an Annual General Meeting. The current elected officers include:

Chairman: Dougie Bell
Vice-Chairman: Matthew Scott 
Secretary: Dave Clarkson
Treasurer: Mike Earl
Archivist: Kath Hayhurst

Committee members: Mary Bullimore, Clive Horsford, Helena Nixon, Gill Pilling

Website Administrator:  Matthew Scott

Three different grades of day walks are organised to cater for all levels of walking ability:

1. Saturday full day walks take place on the third Saturday of the month throughout the year. They are generally more difficult walks visiting the higher fells in summer and are of 8 miles + depending on the severity of the walk

2. Sunday half-day easier walks take place on the first Sunday of the month generally of around 5 miles +

3. Wednesday walks are easier walks of five miles or less at a slower pace.

Start times vary, as shown in the programme of walks.

Each walk is planned and led by an individual leader. The safety of each walk is the responsibility of the walk leader who amongst other matters must ensure that each walker is properly equipped for the conditions expected to be experienced during the walk.

All walks meet in the car park of Burton Memorial Hall where transport is arranged to the starting point of the walk using members' own vehicles.

In addition, short holidays may be added to the programme.

Membership Fee, due 1st January, is £8.00 Juniors 50p

Dogs are permitted on walks under the owner's control and MUST be on a lead when there are farm animals and on roads.

Members are required to keep together and not get ahead of the leader.

ALL WALKERS GO AT THEIR OWN RISK
