In the News (Tue 14 Feb 12)

  
 The Newlands Round
Nearing the main path that leads between Catbells and Hause Gate we saw the sights of the family outings for a walk from Keswick sort of thing, you know the one, Mum and Dad with the kids in tow plus babies in papooses, all that was missing was a pram!
The main path up to Catbells summit was a welcome relief after the steep grass path that we had just come up.
I suppose that Catbells is that famous that it does draw the crowds but the crowds seemed to ruin the place for us, oh well, perhaps Maiden Moor would be different.

 Mary Mount Hotel - Walk - Hawse End to High Brandelhow via Catbells   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
You will have noticed that there are two summits on Catbells, and just before you reach the lower, there is a memorial tablet set in the rock to Thomas Arthur Leonard.
Once on the first summit, the main summit is clearly visible to the south and after a walk through the intervening dip, this can be reached.
Coming to the road at the bottom turn left and in a few yards is the track which takes you down to the lake shore at High Brandelhow, (approximately 3-30p.m.) where one may relax among the trees or splash about in the lake.

 Dalehead via Catbells & Hindscarth
To tell the truth the only reason I ached was that this was the first walk for this visit to the Lakes, perhaps I should have worked up to this one but only having four walking days you have to make the most of it.
This walk takes the same route as the Catbells walk either get the Walkers ferry from Keswick or drive and park-up near Hawes End in the Newlands Valley.
Here you also have another choice, either to take the path that follows the outline of the lower part of Catbells or take the lower path through the fields to Skelgill.

 Catbells from Gutherscale - a Lakeland walk - Walking Britain   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Catbells is a justly popular fell, beautifully situated between Derwentwater and Newlands.
It is often climbed as the first peak in the circuit of fells at the head of the Newlands valley but it is a very worthwhile short walk with delightful views encompassing most of the fells of the northern Lake District.
Walkers who arrived by car should exit the grounds of Hawse End and turn left up the hill where a footpath soon leads to the road and a further 200 yards walking leads to the carpark at Gutherscale.

There's another thread posted by Catbells that has an A200 portrait of a guy starting to grow a beard - or at least showing a lot of stubble.
The difference in contrast is not entirely due to the cameras, there was snow on the ground when I took the A200 pic...(see the Christmas wreath?) and the snow was reflecting light back onto the store fronts...
Catbells - The first difference I noticed between the 2 pictures of the Victory Telecom & Fish & Chips shops was that the Minolta one had less exposure & less contrast than did the Nikon one.

The attachment shows a section of 2 images that has been compressed to uplaod it within the 250K limit and shows the CP8800 as the sharper of the 2 by a whisker.
If you're going to view your images on the PC screen most of the time, I think you'd be happier with the image quality from the Nikon.
If the Canon G6 had an EVF I'd certainly consider it (viewed sample images are outstanding) but you can't relay on the LCD Monitor in bright light for close-ups; there's also no dioptre adjustment on an LCD Monitor which means, as a spectacle wearer, I'd have to wear bifocals / varifocals which I hate.

 :: Some Suggested Local Walks from Hollows Farm
Catbells - Probably the best value for effort mountain in the Lake District, Catbells has a big mountain feel whilst only being 385 m (1265 feet) high.
There are numerous spots all around the summit in which to seclude oneself, and enjoy a well-earned bite to eat.
The path down is nowhere in doubt, but has a few minor rock outcrops to contend with, until you reach the broad col that lies at the foot of Catbells' main summit.

 Panoramic print of Skiddaw and Derwentwater - panoramic picture of Skiddaw
The familiar shot of Skiddaw and Blencathra (locally known as Saddleback) across Derwentwater from Catbells is one of the classic views of the English Lake District.
Higher up the Catbells ridge the vast expanse of Derwentwater becomes far too dominant in this format, lower down there is not enough water.
On this particular shoulder of the ridge, however, I felt that Skiddaw and Saddleback held the viewer's attention, but the balance of the overall image was just right.

 High Spy, Maiden Moor and Catbells
By the time we reached Hause Gate, several of the others were beginning to feel it in their legs, and Nigel suggested that those who wanted to walk on to Catbells do so whilst he waited the rest of them had a break and waited for us to return for the descent to Grange.
Needless to say, we wanted to walk to Catbells, and we were pleasantly surprised by the rocky climb required at the end to reach the summit.
After spending a short while on Catbells, we rejoined the others and descended together into Grange, where we stopped for ice cream before following the footpath below Castle Crag back to the Youth Hostel.

The summit of High Spy lies near the southern end of the Catbells ridge and, at 653 metres, is the highest point on the ridge.

We had planned to hike Catbells the next day and had no idea that those two steep peaks across the water, billed as an "easy walk", were our destination.
It was market day and the streets were full of vendors selling an enormous variety of items, including clothes, hardware, flowers, fruit and nuts, handmade cheese and breads.
As we approached the top of the first peak, we learned that the top of Catbells was actually the second peak, down a valley and another long way up.
