Thu 19th - Sun 22nd Feb - Last 2 Days of the West Highland Way
A two day walk with one nights Camping following the last two days of the West Highland Way in Scotland.
The plan is to drive up on 19th Feb, take a few cars to Fort William (the end of the walk) and return to Glen Coe Youth Hostel for Thursday night (cost about £15). On the Friday and Saturday we will Walk the last 2 days of the West Highland Way with one nights rough camping in between (Friday Night). On the Saturday night we will stop in Glen Nevis Youth Hostel at the end of the walk (cost about £15). Returning home and collecting cars on the Sunday 22nd Feb.
Total distance will be roughly 25 miles over 2 days.
Final details TBC
Although the walk is fairly low level, it will be a moderately difficult walk as it is in the winter. Although people are not expected to bring winter mountaineering gear (Ice Axe Crampons), it will be necessary to have clothing and equipment suitable for winter camping. It is advisable to have some knowledge of camping in cold weather.
DEADLINE FOR BOOKING 31st Jan 2009 (to allow enough time to organise the event)
For further details or to let me know you want to come please contact Malcolm 07826486155 or email chsd@tesco.net

Sunday 1st Feb - Arthurs Pike, Loadpot & Wether Hill
This relatively leisurely walk takes in some sites of historic interest, including standing stones, shake holes and stone circles. Although this walk is not technically difficult and has no steep ascents, it is relatively long (12 miles, taking 6+ hours incl. rest stops).
On a clear day, we should get some great panoramic views of Ullswater, the Pennines, Blencathra and the eastern Lakeland fells.
From Askham, the route takes us first to The Cockpit (an ancient stone circle). From here, we have a gentle ascent of White Knott, Barton Fell and Arthur's Pike (1,747 ft) and from there onto High Street Roman Road and Loadpot Hill (2,204 ft).
From Loadpot, the route takes us over to Wether Hill, before we descend via Fusedale and Howtown.
Please bring plenty of warm, waterproof clothing, solid boots and enough food and drink (including emergency food if possible). NO JEANS!
Distance: Approx. 12 miles
Ascent: Approx. 1,800 ft
Time: 6+ hours
Starting point: the public car park behind the "Queens Head Inn" in Askham
Start time: 10.00 AM
For car sharing, meet at Morrison's car park (Kendal) at 09:00.
