 Mark Richards presents his latest Fellranger guides after the OFC Kapellan meet In return for your HarperCollins edition of any Lakeland Fellranger guide, Cicerone will sell you one of the redesigned and revised versions (any of the first four volumes) for half price, plus £1 P&P. So for less than £7.50 a pop, now could be an ideal time to bring some of your guides bang up to date. With full plastic covers and a place marking ribbon, Cicerone have done a great job. Thanks must also go to two OFC members, Andrew Leaney and David Hall, for their checking of the new guides. Full details and terms and conditions are available on Cicerone's website where you can also download an order form. Cicerone 40 Years Old?
 We have been asked by Cicerone if we can help date the famous publisher. Founded by famous Lancastrian author, Walt Unsworth, Cicerone is one of those publishing houses who endeavour to remember their modest roots. With excellent guides Cicerone are fast approaching their fortieth year of publishing but sadly, company archives cannot cinfirm whether 1969 was the year of the companies first publications although the earliest books in storage have that date. If anyone know differently, then please do contact Peter Burgess via the contact details at the base of any page. He will then pass on the information for you. Thanks. |
 Driving along the A13 recently, I noticed familiar mountain names emblazened on the side of a car. On return home I was keen to discover the amazing project being advertised by the vehicle and the equally incredible expedition being undertaken by a group of scuba divers in order to raise funds for Help for Heroes. Find out more about this expedition from Shane Farnham and then why not consider their worthy cause in support of 'Help for Heroes'. |

 The continued good fortune of being in Cumbria along with good weather, continued again on this outing, as a few OFC again gathered in Coniston. My intentions were not to stay in Coniston, but with £100 to give to Coniston MRT it seemed logical to overnight in Coniston for two nights in order to make the best of my time. Robbie K had already contacted me to say he would join me and Lorraine also hinted at a walk out. However, as with all things, matters can change but I was mighty pleased when those who said they would walk did so. Along with myself, Robbie, Lorraine and even Steven P joined me on the long ascent of the Walna Scar Road from the village. It really was a magic morning! |
