High Moss Meet Dave Atkinson
As a former Anabasis member, this will be my first visit to High Moss but I have
many happy memories of the location from several Anabasis meets based at Turner
Hall Farm. But we’re all Rucksackers now, eh? There’s little need for me to list the
attractions but I will establish my credentials by mentioning a few of them – walking
over the Coniston Fells, onto Harter Fell, and up charming little Caw, rock climbing at
nearby Wallowbarrow, with a hike over the hill to Dow Crag or - with a drive up the
Duddon Valley to Cockley Beck - Esk Buttress. And of course there’s the Newfield Inn,
and more, much more, but these are what I came to consider the Duddon delights. My
daughter Katie’s partner Adam tells me that the Duddon is a top kayaking river.
There might be something semi-organised for the food on Saturday night but I’ll
await suggestions about that before saying more.
Please let me know if you would like to book a place, eight of twenty-four beds
already gone (Murphies, Bartons, me plus three) so don’t delay (see the Handbook for
contact details).
