Walk for Sunday 22nd July - Eskdale Valley / Devoke Water / Muncaster Fell Loop

Eskdale Valley / Devoke Water / Muncaster Fell Loop

Sunday 22^nd July

Start Point:

Car Park near to Dalegarth Hall in the Eskdale Valley (G.R. NY 171003) @ 10.00

(reached by turning right [when travelling East up Eskdale] onto the small lane just before the end of the L'all Ratty tracks & Boot village)

Description: From the car park we head South up onto Birker Fell (just 190m-or-so of climbing). After we cross the Birker Fell lane, and pass Devoke Water, it's about 3 miles of gentle downhill towards the coast. Once down we follow the A595 (unfortunately necessary) for just about ½ a mile, before turning back up Eskdale again. Then, rather than just following the bridleway along the valley bottom, we bear off a bit to ascend Muncaster Fell (just 210m high). We then get a very gentle 'ridge run', before popping out at Eskdale Green (re-hydration / food at the King George IV??). From there it's only about a mile and three-quarters, alongside the river, back to the car park.

Distance: 14 miles (22½ km)

Total Ascent: 445 metres (1460 ft.)

Time: 7 hours

Grade: 3

Car Share: Meet at the Low Wood Hotel @ 09.00

Leader: Dan (on 01229 832840 [eves.] or 07919 831237)

Walk for July 15

Winster Valley

Length approx 7.5 miles (easy walk, little ascent)

Start: Lay-by next to Ghyll Head Reservoir, (GR399925) 11.00

Or meet at Morrisons, Kendal at 10.40 am to car share.

Leader: Lucy (Tel: 01539 739951 or 07929125587)

Beautiful varied walk through woods and pasture land past several small tarns and with views across Windermere and the added attraction of a stop at the Brown Horse pub half way. Although only a mile or so from Bowness, this is a quiet, unspoilt area of enormous charm. Follows good paths or lanes almost all the way.

Set off through woods to Rosthwaite farm. Crossing over the A5074 we follow a loop along Green Lane past Stonehills tarn and Knipe tarn. A gentle ascent brings us back to the A5074 south of Winster. At this point we can make a quick diversion to the Brown Horse. The return route passes Birket houses and Winster House before leading back to Ghyll Head reservoir.

Walk for Sunday 1st July - Arthur's Pike and Loadpot Hill

Arthur's Pike and Loadpot 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 the Pennines, Blencathra and the eastern Lakeland fells, and enjoy the sights and sounds of dozens of skylarks!
From Heltonhead, the route takes us first to Moor Divock and The Cockpit (an ancient stone circle). From there, we have a gentle ascent of White Knott, Barton Fell, Arthur's Pike (1,747 ft), the two "pillars" of Bonscale Pike (1,718 ft), and from there onto High Street Roman Road and Loadpot Hill, the highest point on our walk at 2,204 ft.

Distance: Approx. 10 miles
Ascent: Approx. 1,800 ft
Time: Approx. 6 hours

Starting point: just beyond Heltonhead SW of Askham, GR 503218 (Follow the steep road running up from Helton onto the moor).

Start time: 10.00 AM

For car sharing, meet at Morrison's car park (Kendal) at 09:00.

We then carry on to the Crincles (where, from the '2^nd one', there are great views N to Skiddaw, Blencathra & Helvellyn) and then carry on to Bowfell (for yet more watery views of Windermere, Esthwaite Water & Devoke Water!). From Bowfell we'll retrace our steps back to Three Tarns and then bear to the right of the Crincles to reach the top of Cold Pike (after a couple of miles). It's then only about a mile straight back to the Three Shire Stone or (if it's boggy) we can cut back to the path we started on, to return to the cars.

Easter Weekend Camping

Fiona has currently booked (provisionally) 8 tent spaces at the Old Post Office Campsite at Santon Bridge near Wasdale for the 3 nights over easter weekend. Sarah is going to enquire (in person) at the National Trust Campsite at Wasdale Head about a booking for a group, as they generally don't do any bookings, and don't like groups. A tent for 2 is approx £11 at both campsites (per night).

Would interested parties also like to state what they would particularly like to do whilst in the Wasdale area, and whether they are happy to lead a walk.

James and I have one 2/3 man tent which can be borrowed if anyone needs a tent.

Rob has got 2 group 2 man tents for hire if any body needs them too.

Fiona

MESSAGE FROM PAUL B

I'm thinking of doing a wild camp around Easter to tie in with the weekend Fiona is sorting out. I was thinking of Thursday night or Monday night. I am hoping to do more of that this year. IS anyone else is interested in that sort of thing?
