 Great Mountain Days Prize James Hoye joined OFC Founder, Peter Burgess at home in East Ham, London in order to draw the winner of this great new book on The Lake District. James, who is usually busy helping plan the website, joined Peter to discuss some new ideas for the site as well as independently drawing the winner of Great Mountain Days. The competition question is outlined below. COMPETITION To win a signed copy of Great Mountain Days in the Lake District answer the following question: What map system is included in the book?
The answer to this question was Harvey Maps as well as line drawn, oblique aerial maps drawn by the author. The winneris revealed in the video draw carried out by James Hoye and Peter Burgess at home in London:
 Latest Competition The latest issue of The Lost Sheep and this website has a competition to win a copy of The Fell Walker by Michael Wood. Michael Wood and Penpress Publishers have kindly donated a cop of this great book which Michael will sign for the lucky winner. If you cannot bear to wait for the competition to close then I really recommend this book to you. It should not be missed by anyone calling themselves a fellwalker - it will make you think and check over your shoulder the next time you're out on your own, walking the tops like AW! |
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! |
