THE end of 2009 was anything but mild and walking in the snow was not easy. This is why I decided to enjoy a touch of a winter wonderland on a walk to Sunderland Point, which I normally do in summer. It did not disappoint me.

Mighty and magnificent - the waterfalls around Ingleton

10:20am Sunday 9th August 2009

THIS inspiring walk, which involves some steep ascents and descents, passes four major waterfalls plus a number of boulder-strewn torrents. The route cuts through wooded or scree dominated glens classified as SSSI’s (Sites of Special Scientific Interest) and across the bed of a former lake ground out by glacial action. It threads its way through the Craven Faults, which have fascinated geologists over many years and through the historic village of Ingleton which has Anglo-Saxon origins.

Saunter around the delightful Loweswater

9:10am Sunday 2nd August 2009

LOWESWATER is the smallest of three lovely lakes often grouped together, the others being Buttermere and Crummock Water. The first part of this walk takes you for a short way high above the lake on a good graded track. It then descends through Holme Wood, soon to visit delightful Holme Force, before dropping down through more woodland to the lakeshore. After strolling beside the lake, another easy path returns you to Maggie’s Bridge.
