SNOWDRIFTS were left behind as local Ramblers Association members joined 100 from through out North East Lancashire bound for Elterwater in the Langdale Valley. Beyond Blackburn they
found clear roads and the only hold-up was workmen aying new tarmac! Travelling north on the

walks in the Langdale Val ley led to magnificent views. Three groups left the coaches at New Dun geon Ghyll, the “A” party climbing Pike O’Blisco and the “B” party traversing Lingmoor Fell, while the third group took an easier route to Blea Tarn. All three groups crossed into Little Langdale, before ending their walks at Elterwater. The 1991 programme
