Dear Members, May I welcome our latest member, 'ironhill' to the fold. Enjoy the club. I have also added a few photos to an album from my Saturday ascent of...
Hi Everyone, Congratulations on the FellWalking Club - really interesting to read about everyone's walks & see the photos. I'm making my annual pilgrimage to...
... Geoff, Do you have preferences in terms of starting location or length of walk? I'm sure I can come up with something that you find at least a bit...
... a ... Hi Andy, Happy with 6-8 miles, but I guess like a lot of people I would prefer a 'circular' walk (back to the car!). Any feasible parking place ...
... Well Geoff, let's see what we can do. Ah! My first suggestion would have been Easy Gully on Pavey Ark, down the North Rake and then back round to climb...
The easy Gully you described sounds hard, and okay if you have long legs and strong arms. Is it as hard as it sounds? and have you far to fall if you miss the...
Andy, Gives me a tingle to read about your scrambles in these difficult places ,,, not sure I will ever do them but I love 'listening' to people who have! ...
Hi Geoff and Andy I have not got my Wainwrights at home (or at work where I am at the moment) as they are at the cottage but I remember an "easy" gully on Dow...
I'll be up there around those dates,but the best I'll probably be able to manage is a long day on Muncaster fell,and Sale Fell from Wythop. The Mosedale...
... Jill, I'm sure you could do most of the scrambles yourself but I wouldn't recommend that anybody attempts them alone. I do them alone but that probably...
... Jill, you know that I don't do half days. I was doing alright until I went round in a circle, I still don't understand how I managed it, I shall just have...
... John, I would agree, the only trouble is recognising the path upwards once you reach the spring at the foot of Cambridge Crag. The obvious way is across...
Hi Ian, Good to see that the recuperation is on course. I bet your next walk, even if it is only Muncaster Fell or Sale Fell, will give you some of the...
Just a short walk today, we had shopping to do, however we just about timed it right with the weather, much longer and we would have got well soaked instead of...
... The big rock step is the reason itself for going that way, I wouldn't recommend falling off the rock, it isn't very exposed but you'd probably travel about...
Hi Andy, You are right about the climb up to Bowfell from the end of the traverse. I have done it both ways and your recommended route is the best. Of course,...
... Hi All - this little discussion has spurred me into posting something at last. I really would recommend Bowfell via the climbers traverse as suggested....
Hi Andrew, Good to see we have spurred you into your first post. You and I can console ourselves that by going no further in one day than Pike O'Blisco we are...
Hi Everyone - thanks for the ideas, some great suggestions there. I too had a memorable day in Easy Gully a few years back - spent blummin ages at that rock...
Dear Members, i) May I welcome another new member (williamii). Things seem to be 'ticking over' nicely and it's great to see some new contributions. A...
Hi all, it's your first American member, Marsanne, in Louisiana. I've been very busy with work and family issues, but I am still coming over there on June...
... You've gone too far this time John! I've put up with all of the things that you have accused me of but I'm sure I've never given you any reason to think...
... Hi Cousin Marsanne, Good to hear from you. The weather in the Lake District today was just superb, sunny all day with a cool breeze, the ground is still...
... Hi Geoff, Made my second succesful ascent of the Easy Gully today, didn't take quite as long today then followed it by going down the North Rake and back...
... wrote:> ... think ... No No - its definitely me thats the young one, but that lot was enough - plus I had to have a drink at the ODG, but one only. If I ...
