Walk Number 1 - Saturday 24th March 2007

Talkin Tarn 7 Mile Circular walk - graded Easy

 

A total of 18 people (with about half a dozen dogs too) completed the above walk. The route was: Talkin Tarn - Farlam - Talkin Village - Greenwell Meadows - Gelt River / Gelt Woods - Talkin Tarn.

The weather was beautiful - clear blue skies and pleasantly warm. We had been praying hard for good weather and the Lord certainly listened and answered our prayers! Lunch was spent in a beautiful spot on the bank of the Gelt River. The fellowship throughout the day was wonderful with everyone mingling and chatting and happy to be enjoying God's beautiful world.

On our approach back to Talkin Tarn a group of sheep took an instant liking to June, Graham and Laura. As we all know sheep normally do tend to run away from you on your approach but no, on this occasion it was different. They were boldly going forth making a beeline for their target! We have the pictures to prove it! (Must have been June's red socks)

At the end of the walk some stopped for refreshments at the teashop whilst others had to head back home straight after. Everyone went home happy with the day. A great success!

Duration of the walk 4 hours (with a stop for lunch).

Walk Number 2 - Saturday 28th April 2007

Aira Force 8 mile circular walk - graded Moderate

 

A total of 20 people (with about the same number of dogs as on the first walk) completed the above walk. The route was: Aira Force - Ulcat Row - The Hause - Swinburn Forest - Aira Force.

We dare not hope for good weather again on our second walk but praise the Lord look what happened - the weather was beautiful - clear blue skies and even warmer than last time! After only a short distance the fleeces came off to reveal skin a lighter shade of pale! It was t-shirts all of the way. On the walk we passed pretty cottages, isolated farmhouses, thick forest, open fells and a view that has to be one of the best in the Eastern fells. Breathtakingly beautiful!

Again the fellowship was wonderful with everyone genuinely happy with the experience.

At the end of the walk some stopped for refreshments at the teashop whilst others had to head back home straight after. Again a walk that was deemed a great success.

Duration of the walk 5 hours (with stops for lunch and the views).

Cycle Number 1 - Saturday 26th May 2007

Burgh by Sands 15 mile Circular ride - graded Easy

 

A total of 5 people completed the above ride.  The route was: Burgh by Sands following the course of Hadrians Wall to Drumburgh - Port Carlise - Bowness on Solway then branching inland to Guard Ho - Glasson and back to Burgh by Sands. (You would be hard pressed to find any flatter terrain for a cycle ride).

Although numbers were small enthusiasm was big.  The weather was beautiful with a slight westerly wind but nothing to make the ride unpleasant.  At Drumburgh we found a neat little place that serves hikers and cyclists for shelter, toilets, drinks and snacks.  At that point in the ride the wind was a little cool so a stop for a hot drink was welcome.  When we mounted our bikes again the sun was shining and the temperature had risen. 

We really were blessed with the weather.  It was ideal for cycling, light winds (against us heading West but behind us heading East on the way back to Burgh), plenty of sunshine, excellent views across the Solway Firth to Scotland and of the Lakes.  Our youngest cyclist Trudie Newgarth did us proud, leading the way most of the time and beating her Dad wheels ahead when breaking in to a bit of a race!

With the wind behind us - and the sun on our backs - we rode back into Burgh by Sands truly satisfied with the ride.  Thank you Lord.

We finished the day with a cuppa at Kirkbampton concluding the ride a great enjoyment and looking forward to the next one where we hope to encourage a few more to join us!

Duration of the ride 3 hours (with a stop for lunch).

Walk Number 3 - Saturday 30th June 2007

Above Loweswater 5.5 mile circular walk - graded Easy

 

This is a lovely, gentle walk with some great views over Loweswater (and Crummock Water in the distance).

We hadn't expected a big turnout, as the weather forecast for the day was not good.

A total of 8 brave souls and 5 daft dogs completed the above walk! 

We set off from Maggie's Bridge car park walking through the woodland near the lake edge.  Two cows had decided they weren't wet enough with the rainfall and stood knee-deep in the lake looking very docile and relaxed.  Coming out of the woodland we climbed gently and picked up the road for a little way until we could cut across open grassland and pick up the clear footpath heading back towards Loweswater and Holme Beck.  The path here leads us above and around the woodland.  We then gently descended to High Nook Farm and to the car park.

So, although the weather made it a little uncomfortable for us, it was just as beautiful to walk in the rain as in the sunshine.  The hero of the walk for us was Judith Bloomer.  This was her first experience of the walking club and despite the weather her spirits were high and as she reminded us 'our skin is waterproof so does a little rain matter'!

Again we feel that God was watching and looking after us all of the way.

Duration of the walk approximately 3 ½hours (with a brief soggy stop for lunch).

Cycle Number 2 - Saturday 4th August 2007

Houghton to Longtown 18 mile Circular ride - graded Easy

A total of 9 people (including little Sophie seated on the back of dad Tim's bike) completed the above ride.  The route was: Houghton to Westlinton using quiet country roads then picking up a dismantled railway line crossing the River Lyne and heading onto Longtown with only one slight uphill gradient to worry about.

 

We started off from the Church car park with the sky looking threatening and deciding to shower us with a light rain for 10 minutes or so.  From then on the weather improved minute by minute and we enjoyed plenty of sunshine and light winds.  At Longtown we ate our lunches sitting by the River Esk.  With no time for lunch to settle Sophie dragged dad over to the see-saw (or was it the other way round?) and we posed for the compulsory photo-shoots!

 

The last mile or two was the most demanding as we biked into a head-on wind with the gradient being slightly uphill.  Sophie claimed it was tiring work sitting on the back of dad's bike doing all of the peddling! 

 

We arrived back at the Church Car Park with slightly fewer in number than what we started off with!  Not too worry - we hadn't lost anyone on route - some just decided on a slight variation of the route in order to go directly back to their own homes.

 

Duration of the ride 3 hours (with a stop for lunch).

Walk Number 4 - Saturday 8th September 2007

Haystacks 5 mile Circular walk - graded Hard

Although not one of the mightiest mountains in the Lakes it's a favourite for many walkers.  It's a very varied and interesting walk with surprises on its top with craggy peaks and lovely tarns.

We were hoping for a good turnout as the weather forecast was good but, alas, that was not to be.  Only 3 of us for this walk but didn't we have a brilliant day!  (What you chaps missed out on!)

An earlier start than usual, we set off from Gatesgarth Farm car park walking through the flat area to make our ascent to Scarth Gap.  This section of the walk is quite steep in parts and we stopped a few times to catch our breath - making the excuse we had to stop to admire the views of course!

On reaching the pass at Scarth Gap we follow the path to the left and start to climb and pick our way through the crags with some hands-on.  Great fun!  You could easily spend an hour or two exploring the unusual landscape of Haystacks with its craggy peaks and tarns.  We head towards Blackbeck Tarn sticking with the path to the left to start our descent.  Along the way we have some stunning views looking down deep gullies.  We can see the Honister Slate mines ahead but bear to the left to head down towards Buttermere.  The descent was a bit tiring, as a good section of the path is loose rock underfoot; we had to concentrate on the footwork rather than the views but we made sure we stopped enough to look up to enjoy.

The weather was perfect, plenty of sunshine but with occasional cloud cover to make it a very comfortable day.

A fantastic walk - a real blessing from God.

Duration of the walk approximately 5 hours (with a stop for lunch on the craggy tops).

Walk Number 5 - Saturday 13th October 2007

'River Eden / Long Meg and her Daughters'

7½ mile Circular walk - graded Easy

 

Nine of us gathered to enjoy this most pleasant walk that took us through some of the lovely, unspoilt Eden Valley. Starting the walk from the village of Little Salkeld we made our way to the site of the stone circle Long Meg and her Daughters, situated just outside the village boundaries. The stone circle dates back to the Bronze Age and comprises about sixty-six stones with the tallest being Long Meg which dominates the circle. We lingered here awhile and then followed the footpath to take us on to Glassonby village via St Michael's Church seeing lots of pheasant along the way. From Glassonby we followed the Glassonby Beck Road and headed to Old Parks. We then crossed farmland heading towards Kirkoswald but dropped down to meet the road beforehand and headed towards Daleraven Bridge. Here we took the footpath to the right heading through trees to a slight hill above the river. We decided to stop for lunch here as the views down to and along the river were lovely. We then followed the riverside footpath all the way back to Little Salkeld. We meant to take a look at Lacey's Caves along the way but were so busy chatting we missed them!

 

At the start of the walk we weren't too sure what the weather was going to do, rain or shine? As it turned out it was mostly on the shiny side, cloudy and overcast but brightening at times to give us spells of pleasant sunshine. Underfoot it was a little muddy in places but we managed to skirt around the worst spots quite easily.

 

To finish we treated ourselves to a very welcome and refreshing cuppa at the Little Salkeld Watermill Tearooms. A working mill that produces its own flour and is very interesting to look around (sells delicious cakes too - that's Dave and Cathy's verdict!)

 

Driving back to Carlisle we were met with heavy drizzle and very leaden skies, which surprised us a little as we had had such lovely weather. Was that God shining is light on us or what? You bet it was.

 

Duration of the walk approximately 4 hours with a stop for lunch overlooking the Eden River.

Cycle Number 3 - Saturday 17th November 2007

Carlisle to Talkin Village 22 mile Circular ride - graded Moderate

 

This ride started from Rickerby Park, following the cycle path / route to Linstock - Eden Grove - Newby East - Warwick Bridge. After crossing over the A69 at Warwick Bridge we then branched left to follow the road to Skellion and on to Talkin.

From Carlisle to Skellion the route was relatively flat and easygoing. The 3 miles from Skellion to Talkin was the moderate bit! Lots of up and downhill gradients - some gentle, some not so gentle - but we made it to the village with a lot of huffing and puffing and the mantra 'No Pain No Gain'. On more than one occasion there was the need to dismount our trusty steeds to pause for breath and admire the views! Talkin was the ideal lunch stop as the pub had just opened, so in we went for a swift one.

 

The ride back was much easier as the gradients tend to be more downhill with one big sweep up from the railway viaduct back to Skellion.

 

The weather was very kind to us considering we had threatening heavy skies all of the way and were expecting to get a thorough soaking but didn't, the day kept dry and for the time of year it was quite a pleasant mild day. Winds were quite light coming from the West so didn't affect us too greatly.

 

This ride was our most challenging to-date and all coped admirably. 4 of us completed the ride with Tim and daughter Sophie joining us for the first 4 miles but then deciding to turn back for home as little Sophie tired quite quickly getting used to her new bike attached to the back of Dad's.

 

We prayed for dry weather, a good ride and good fellowship and we were certainly given it.

 

For all of you cyclists out there who didn't join us - you missed a great ride - why not join us on our next one!

Duration of the ride 4 hours (with a stop for lunch).

Walk Number 6 - Saturday, 26th January 2008

'Latrigg' 5.5 Mile Circular walk - graded Easy.

 

Seven of us gathered to brave the windy, damp, drizzly weather with the likelihood of seeing any sunshine slim. We put on boots, raincoats and struggled into leggings; well Ian and Thomesena didn't struggle into leggings as they had none! Tut.

 

All assembled, we strode purposefully straight up Spoony Green Lane towards Skiddaw. We crossed the A66 by bridge and made our way steadily uphill with the noise of the traffic gradually receding. This wide track is very popular with cyclists as can be seen by the tyre tracks in the mud. It's also very popular with runners. When the track reached a fenced forest on the left we should have turned right to head uphill on a path to take us onto Latrigg. However, with the weather as it was, the decision was made to stick with the low-level wide track that would take us around the back of the fell. We knew there would be no great views from Latrigg overlooking Keswick today! We continued on the track to the car park at the base of Skiddaw and then turned right to follow a wide muddy track for a mile or so. We then turned left to meet a surfaced lane (well, partly surfaced) with the Glenderaterra Beck in the valley on our left. This lane led us down where we were able to join the old railway footpath to head back to Keswick. We lingered for 10 minutes or so taking shelter in an old railway building to sip on a hot drink and chat. The old railway footpath is a very pleasant walk back to Keswick following the River Greta. Along the way you can learn about the history of the old Bobbin Mills that operated in the Lake District in the 19th century passing the site of an old mill near Low Briery.

 

We were back in Keswick for lunchtime where we enjoyed a warming cup of tea (with a mountain of chips) in the café at the Leisure Centre. We then parted ways and headed home - none too worse for wear - and thankful for the Lord watching over us all of the way.

 

Duration of the walk approximately 3 hours.

Cycle Number 4 - Saturday, 23 February 2008

Houghton to Kirklinton 15 Mile Circular ride - graded Easy

 

The weather forecast was NOT GOOD, strong blustery winds (a cyclist’s worst enemy) and rain predicted. As it turned out the winds were strong and blustery but thankfully the rain kept off; thus 6 truly mad cyclists gathered to enjoy the great outdoors!

 

The route we took to Kirklinton was in a northeasterly direction via Scalebyhill and Smithfield where the cyclist can enjoy mostly traffic free country roads and flat terrain. It was wonderful to see so many clumps of snowdrops and crocuses along the roadsides; they always look so fragile and beautiful and a reminder that Spring is just around the corner - although it might at times seem a lengthy corner! The strong winds helped to push us along our way to Kirklinton and often there was no need to apply peddle power, we could just freewheel.

 

As we approached the Parish of Kirklinton we could see Kirklinton Church about a half a mile ahead of us. Kirklinton Hall (just up the road from the Church) as we found out is just a shell of a building so any hopes of getting a cream tea there were quickly dashed!

 

Having no idea what lay beyond Kirklinton Parish and, as Kirkington was right on the edge of Ordnance Survey Map No 85 (the map we had with us), we decided to stop for a bite to eat and drink in the grounds of the Church (the graveyard)!

 

(Isn't it so annoying when your position is right on the edge of the map or on a very badly creased fold!)

 

With lunch over we headed back in a southwesterly direction - via Newbiggin and Wide open Dykes - and with the strong blustery winds head on! We encountered a couple of small hills along the way which normally would have presented no problems but with that wind it was heads down, leg muscles pumping to propel us to the top of the hill. At one point a certain lady on her bicycle decided to give Tony (Newgarth) a little excitement by cutting straight across his path forcing him to negotiate a very deep water filled muddy hole on the grass verge. His cycling skills were impressive - not only did he remain upright and seated he also remained remarkably calm (well, nearly).

 

Excitement over, we arrived back in Houghton where we all piled into Tony's place for tea and cake. Very delicious and very welcome!

 

Although it was a short ride it was an enjoyable one and we thank the Lord for making it so!

 

Duration of the ride 2 hours (with short stop for lunch).

Walk Number 7 - Saturday, 22nd March 2008

'Pooley Bridge - Howtown - Return to Pooley Bridge on the Ullswater Steamer. 5 Mile Linear walk - graded Easy.

 

This walk was planned with the Mission Week in mind and therefore was a relatively easy one that would appeal to all, young and old alike. There can't be many low-level walks in the Lakes that give walkers such fantastic views for so little effort! It was also slightly different in that the return to Pooley Bridge was a boat ride back on the famous 'Ullswater Steamer'.

 

It was wonderful to have so many join us and for some this was their first walk with the club. We were blessed to have all of the Oakhill team with us, apart from Ben Woodd who unfortunately couldn't make it.

 

So, with Spring like weather just a dream and Winter very much in the air, 35 of us (26 adults, 9 children) plus 4 excitable dogs set purposely off from Pooley Bridge. We took the road / lane out of the village that leads to Hill Croft caravan and camp site and carried straight on until the lane ended at a gate where we then gained access to the bridleway heading towards Helton. We climbed gradually on the wide track - with views across the lake simply stunning - and took a right upon reaching a large cairn to follow an obvious path across open moorland. We then reached the stone circle known as the Cockpit. Although it's thought that the stone circle dates back to the Bronze Age, the name apparently comes from a time when the circle was used for cockfighting. We followed the wider path bearing right which took us to Aik Beck. After fording the beck we found the perfect lunch spot with plenty of room for us all to spread out and enjoy the views across the lake. Some preferred to forfeit the view for the comfort of a more sheltered spot against the stone wall; can't say as we blamed them! By this time we had already encountered a brief snow shower and as we finished lunch we could clearly see another one approaching to speed us on our way. From here we started our descent following the footpath sign to Howtown on a mostly level path with fantastic views along the way. The path was a little muddy in places but easily negotiable. As we neared Howtown we took a right fork in the path that allowed us to walk to the side of a static caravan site, to a field and down on to the road by the pier.

 

To keep 35 people together proved to be, let's say, interesting! At the end of the walk a bit of confusion reigned as we had lost a handful of walkers due to them steaming ahead of the group (excuse the pun) but they quickly reappeared again running down the road to meet us - panic over. Then there was a notice pinned to the gate that takes you to the pier to inform us that sailing's had been cancelled due to the windy conditions! You know the old saying, the best laid plans ……. Now what? Thank the Lord for the invention of the mobile phone; a quick call to the Ullswater Steamer company and Bob's your uncle the steamer appeared in the distance heading towards Howtown pier. What a welcome sight! The boat ride back to Pooley Bridge was a very pleasant way to finish the walk.

 

We didn't linger at Pooley Bridge for refreshments as we had encouraged people to grab a cuppa before we started the walk rather than the end to tie in with the timings of boats back to Pooley Bridge. Although the weather was very cold with wintry showers it proved to be a stunning walk; the views we had of the surrounding snow-capped fells and of the lake itself were magnificent. For a bank holiday weekend there were few people around - we virtually had the fells all to ourselves!

 

Paul and I would like to thank all for joining us, we hope that you enjoyed yourselves and that we'll see you again on one of our future walks. Above all we thank the Lord for keeping his guiding hand on us all and everything working out (more or less) to plan.

 

Duration of the walk / boat ride approximately 3 ½ hours.

Cycle Number 5 - Saturday, 19 April 2008

Dalston - Sour Nook - Dalston 18 mile ride - graded Moderate.

 

The weather was typically British for a spring day - not at all Springlike, in fact decidedly chilly with a strong Easterly wind thrown in for good measure. Thankful that it was at least dry and the sun was showing its face we sallied forth in good spirits knowing we would enjoy our day.

 

We cycled in a mostly southerly direction to Sour Nook following National Cycle Route 7, which was a joy. The country lanes were mostly a dream; very narrow with picturesque cottages dotted here and there and with all round views to the Lakeland fells, the Pennines and big open countryside. The birds were twittering happily, the sun had a degree of warmth to it and our wheels turned easily. There were hills all of the way on this route but they were mostly long and gradual and before you knew it you were at the top and ready to enjoy the long downhill freewheeling bit!

 

The route from Dalston took us to Nook, a little further on we passed Lime House School heading down into the valley with Rose Castle appearing majestically to our right. We crossed over the Caldew River cycling onwards to the villages / hamlets of Raughton Head, Breconhill, Thethwaite, Birks Hill and finally Sour Nook. The first and only thing we encountered at Sour Nook was the pub - which was far enough for us! Suitably refreshed we ventured back to Dalston taking the same route back as we had come. The wind, although strong, didn't affect us too badly as it hit us mostly side on rather than head on and we were thankful that the weather had stayed dry for us.

 

Only 4 cyclists were out to sample and enjoy this ride and we were sorry that more couldn't join us. Cycling gives a great sense of freedom and we would encourage you to come along and experience this - see what you've been missing!

 

Thank you Lord for keeping us safe and blessing our day. Amen.

 

Duration of the ride 3 1/2 hours (with lunch stop).

 

 

 

Walk No 8 - Saturday, 31st May 2008

 

Crag Fell (523m) and Grike (488m) - 7 Mile circular walk - graded Moderate.

 

8 of us (and 2 dogs Robbie and Trixie) met at Bleach Green Cottage car park - situated at the western end of Ennerdale Water - on a beautifully warm sunny morning!  So, instead of raincoats it was on with the sun cream - nice change!

 

We walked out of the car park heading directly south looking for a very faint path that took us on a steep rise through the trees; we then swung left where the path followed an easier ascent.  We came out of the trees and the views over the western end of Ennerdale Water started to open up.  We continued to climb over open fellside, crossing two becks, then through heathery  fellside until the last steep approach to Crag Fell on grass.  The exertion was well worth the effort as we were rewarded with some splendid views into the heart of Ennerdale with the fell tops Steeple and Pillar clearly visible.  We didn't linger too long on the summit as Judith and Paul had decided to avoid the steep climb to Crag Fell and instead followed a fence - allowing an easier climb - to the ridge in between Crag Fell and Grike.  There we met them and decided on a stop for lunch.  Much refreshed we continued and walked across to Grike summit where we enjoyed good all round views.  From Grike we started on our descent picking up a faint path to access the forest track where we took a right heading to meet the road.  Turning right along the road we passed the Kinniside Stone Circle and then were able to pick up a footpath to the left of the road that led us into Ennerdale village.  At this point it was still a 1 1/2 mile walk to the car park so the chaps gallantly volunteered to bring the cars to the village whilst we damsels' basked in the welcome shade of a pub garden with a refreshing cold drink.

 

It was a wonderful day's walk, the sun shone but there was cloud cover as well and a slight breeze so we didn't overheat.  The fellowship was brilliant, everyone so relaxed and enjoying the walk and encouraging each other when it was needed. 

 

We enjoyed the song of the skylark throughout the walk, heard the cuckoo and saw buzzards too.  We encountered only one other fellow human being on the fells.

 

Big thank you to all who joined us.  We give thanks most of all to He who provides all of this for us to enjoy!

 

Duration of the walk approximately 5 hours.

Walk Number 9 - Saturday, 28th June 2008

Dufton - Flakebridge Wood 6 Mile circular walk - graded Easy.

 

7 of us met at Dufton Village car park - situated in the beautiful Eden Valley. This walk followed field and woodland paths and tracks.

 

From the car park we followed the footpath that cuts through the middle of the village campsite and along a woodland track which joined a walled track (heading for Brampton village) that we followed until we reached a beck. There were stepping-stones to help us cross the beck but with the recent heavy rainfalls some were now just under the surface of the water and some that were above the surface looked fairly wet and slippery. Paul gallantly ventured forth but slipped giving both feet a ducking and so with a clumsy leap landed back at the beck's edge with the cry 'OK, let's find the footbridge'. Good idea! We backtracked a little to find the footbridge to cross the beck and then went over a stile that led us uphill through a field and in to the village of Brampton. On reaching the tarmac road we took a left and walked to the very edge of the village to pick up the footpath for Flakebridge Wood. During this section of the walk we enjoyed marvellous views of the Pennine hills as we approached the wood. The footpath then took us into the wood but kept us to the edge. (Flakebridge Wood is very popular with walkers in May when the bluebells are in full bloom; so we timed it badly this year to see the beauty of the bluebells but we'll make sure we time it right next year!)

 

We stopped to have our picnic lunch at a pleasant grassy spot on the edge of the wood. With such a small group the opportunity to chat and get to know one another better is fantastic.

 

We pressed on to Flakebridge House and then took a left on to a track signposted for Keisley. This led us uphill through the wood and at a three way junction we veered to the right and then shortly afterwards took a faint path leading straight on. The footpath skirts the edge of the wood leading us down to a beck. This time Paul didn't even attempt to look for stepping stones, it was straight to the footbridge - no messing. On crossing the beck we follow the path veering to the right which soon creeps down to the field edge where we follow the stone wall. We soon reach a two-way point on the footpath where we follow the path heading back to Dufton. This takes us over open fields to Greenhow farm where we walk through the farmyard to meet the road to take us back in to Dufton Village - signposted at 1/2 mile.

 

Dufton is a delightful village and popular with walkers choosing to walk the whole length (or sections of) the Pennine Way. Thus a campsite, numerous B&B's, a YHA, Pub and Tea room. We made a beeline for the tea room and sat outside to enjoy lashings of tea and a lovely warm afternoon.

 

The weather was a little changeable and at one point we had to put on our raincoats but the shower we encountered was very short and very light so no sooner had we put our coats on we had to take them off again. Mostly it was t-shirt weather - Graham and Anne were wearing the Club t-shirt; the leaders (much to our disgrace) weren't!

 

A beautiful walk and beautiful company - God's world made for us to enjoy!

 

Duration of the walk approximately 3 1/2 hours.
