Description

MTA "Loving Lichens" Workshop with Kelvyn James. At Borrowdale Wood, Penrith, Lake District.
3 hour 30 minute walk discussing and identifying Lichens. We did not have to walk far. Maybe a kilometer or so to find a wide variety of lichens on old stone walls, trees, and rocks. Much of the time was in discussion and detail viewing of lichens through magnified loupes.

Area : Central Fells

The Vale of Keswick, provides separation from the Northern Fells whilst to the west runs the long valley of Borrowdale. The parallel eastern boundary is created by Thirlmere and the St Johns in the Vale. Grasmere to Windermere forms the remainder of the eastern boundary. In the west, Stake Pass descends into Great Langdale.
