Dated moved from 10th to 12th August (on 19th July). The area of this walk is largely on common land, owned and managed by the Lake District National Park Authority. It includes a diverse area of lakeshore, tarns, mires surrounded by bracken and heather clad fellsides with rocky outcrops. It is an area popular with visitors. The focus of the day will be to examine the role of common land in the landscape, the wildlife of upland Cumbria and their relationship with the cultural landscape of sheep farming. The bid for World Heritage inscription for the Lake District will be a constant theme. Subject to the weather, we shall look for some iconic Lakeland wildlife and flora. Meeting Place: Road Junction at Brown Howe on A5084 (GR SD 289911) Course Timings: 10am- 4.00pm All sessions are booked on a first come first served basis. Please bring: a picnic lunch & clothing/footwear for all weathers. (Please note there is no indoor backup venue so the sessions will go ahead in poor weather unless unreasonable or unsafe to do so) Leaders: Ian Brodie – Open Spaces Society
