Start at the 'wind in the wood' waterfall(1) and head north west. After a couple of miles you come to a place where a small church crosses a fence(2). Not long after, as long as you have not been naughty the two castle jails are reached with the lofty Civil War weapons belonging to the Long Valley above(3). Heading south now, the diffluence col of a great glacier is crossed to the blue lake(4) so solitary to abide. Once more another fortified place on a hill is passed as the route travels west to the sea. Sounding like one of the big five, game animals of Africa who doesn't know the answer on Mastermind(5), travel west to a pre-1973 boundary marker. Passing two more animal body parts in the valley the next route passes over something sounding like a cub scout's worst nightmare when tying a double hitch(6). In the footsteps of Romans, a Latin encampment is passed(7) before descending to cross the pont of Elisabeth's 1977 celebration(8). The route passes along a wonderful valley before getting to the hamlet where someone left one part of their footwear(9).

 The long and anticipated wait for the launch of the next issue of The Lost Sheep is now here. Issue 7 is a veritable feast of articles which again have lifted the quality of the publication to a heady height which belies our humble roots. The OFC should really be proud of ths publication especially after the £700 raised for AW's charity Kapellan from issue 6. If you would like to get your hands on a copy or 10 then please do read on...

 A proposed walk on Sunday 22nd June was shelved after Peter Burgess chanced upon a road traffic accident at the summit of Kirkstone Pass. Thankfully, there were no serious injuries and despite the passenger of one car being taken to Westmorland General the only real damage was caused to both vehicles.
