July Walks by members
| Kentmere Round with Paul Burgess
A high circuit of the Kentmere Round proved hot and taxing in the hot July weather. Even on the high tops there was little wind and the famous horseshoe proved the Lakes could be as demanding as other mountainous places in the UK.

| Loweswatercam Scafell Pike Red Cross Fundraiser
Today was another opportunity to be dragged out of bed at silly-o'clock and to be up before dawn. It was the day of another 3 Peaks Challenge, raising money on behalf of the Red Cross medical charity.

| Loweswatercam Sale Fell with Lily
Ben and Sarah, from the OFC, phoned up and suggested we might meet for a walk locally. Nothing to big as this will be the baby's first unofficial Wainwright summit. (They don't count unless you walk them yourself !)

| Loweswatercam High Rigg in the sunshine
Roger was at work today, so I met John and Jo at John's Fornside cottage in the valley of St John's in the Vale, just beyond Keswick, for a circular walk over High Rigg Fell.

| Loweswatercam Great Mell Fell with Jo
We parked where the Racy Cottage track meets the road that goes between the Great and the Little Mell Fells. As we got out of the car Ann and Jo spotted a bit of litter by the car - say no more - but the old jokes are the best! | 19th July 2008
| 
| Loweswatercam An opened out Knock Murton
Recent forestry clearance surrounding Cogra Moss reservoir has opened up the area to the sun ( if we had any !) Same paths, different views, a great circular walk after morning rain had changed to a dry but overcast afternoon.

| Loweswatercam Jo, John and Shoulthwaite Gill
Jo is up for the week so John takes us on a new route for us, Bleaberry Fell from Bracken Rigg and along to High Seat before descending via the hidden valley of Shoulthwaite Gill. | 15th July 2008
|  | V&G Cwm Eigiau Backpack
A 2-day circuit of the fine and remote Cwm Eigiau hills from Dolgarrog, visiting a new Dewey top Moel Eilio and the splendidly rocky summit of Craig Eigiau and returning via Llyn Cowlyd. The changeable weather pattern of the summer continues and again the clarity was excellent in the clear sunny periods of this trip, giving dramatic skies and sharp views.

| Loweswatercam A Double Take in Poor Weather
I had a day of gainful employment again, but this time outdoors, helping with the Railway Children Charity on Scafell Pike. Meanwhile Ann was joined by Jayne for an afternoon walk up Melbreak, where I walked earlier in the week.
| 11th July 2008
|  | Loweswatercam Mellbreak Backwards
Time to walk the dogs but fortunately the dull weather was showing signs of improvement as I decided on a longer walk up Mosedale. As it happened I did more than I planned in the hour and a half's local run around.

"On Saturday we met up with Ann and Roger Hiley, John Paterson and Terry Gargrave for a walk up High Rigg and on Monday we met Paul Harrison on Pike O'Stickle. It was a real pleasure meeting everybody and we enjoyed every minute." Dave Leslie
