Boundary Walk - 2010

The boundaries of the Parish of St. Patrick, Patterdale, are very extensive. For some years now there has been an annual Walk or (for a few experts) a Run, right round the boundary starting at the Car Park at Glencoyne and finishing at Patterdale School. (The boundary actually crosses Ullswater but only rarely does anyone include the swim in order to follow the boundary in every respect). It takes place on the first Saturday of July (the 3rd. this year). Many entrants clocked in at Glencoyne between 5 a.m. and 6.30 a.m. to start the thirty mile route, with 10,000 ft.of ascent and only one crossing of a road - at the top of Kirkstone Pass - where a team of helpers provide drinks, sandwiches, cake and bananas - and where some of the walkers withdraw, and where some also start on the shorter leg of the route - a mere fourteen miles and 3,000 ft. of ascent !

The 2011 Boundary Walk will be on Saturday, 2nd July.
