Back in the 1930s and 1940s more than 300 tons of damsons were sent down to the jam factories of Lancashire and Yorkshire. The income from the damsons was often used to pay the annual rent of a farm. Now the growers just pick to sell on the roadside or for private customers.

One of my very favourite road trips is along the Lyth Valley following the damson signs to the farms in the low fells. And this year the harvest has been huge with so many stalls along the route.

The judges table for tea, a Herdwick tup, Anthony Hartley’s trophies including The Edmondson Cup for the best shearling.

This was first presented in 1928 and is the most coveted cup in Herdwick showing. It was also once won by Beatrix Potter.

WORLD CURLEW DAY
 
Over the Easter weekend, Matt Trevelyan,  a FiPL officer for Nidderdale National Landscape, walked the 53-mile Nidderdale Way to raise awareness of one of our most iconic and threatened birds: the Eurasian Curlew – dressed as Cathy the curlew.

-6 and no wind. Completely silent other than my feet crunching through the snow. It’s so different this time, there’s a new footpath going further up the fell than before.
