Skiddaw
The Skiddaw is a stunning mountain in the Lake District, standing proudly over Keswick. It's not just another big fell, it has a fascinating back story. It was here that the world's first rock group was formed and one of its founding members was living in a remote home on the summit. It was also here that the author of Wainwright's Pictorial Guide to the Northern Fells came across an unusual geological feature and climbed its summit on the same day of the death of his father-in-law.
The massif of Skiddaw consists of layers of mudstones, shales and volcanic lava that have been heated and compressed over millions of year to produce the distinctive gray slate used for the construction of buildings in the town. The slate formation produced a curious byproduct called the "musical stone" of Skiddaw. These stones are referred to as lithophones due to their sound when struck. It is believed that the rocks were once part of a quarry, and Joseph Richardson, a local stonemason, brought them together to create the large octave style instrument, a xylophone, that is now located in the Victoria Hall in Keswick.
Yesterday, on a mild sunny day, I made my way back to Skiddaw via the "back of Skiddaw", a path that goes via Great Calva and Bakestall. The route is beautiful, and although the path may be muddy, a few careful steps will keep your feet dry. It was particularly enjoyable on the open moors as well as the rocky, slippy and steep paths from the back of Skiddaw down to Carlisle Tarn where a bit more care is required.

If you reside in a smoke-free area then it is essential to have a Defra approved stove. If you install a wood burning device that isn't Defra approved and you are not Defra approved, you could face an imposing penalty. To avoid this, you must only use Defra approved fuels, such as approved smokeless coal.
Defra stoves allow you to burn fuels approved by Defra, such as manufactured smokeless coals, anthracite, and homefire. These stoves are equipped with an air supply system that prevents the fuel from smouldering and provides a constant supply of combustion air. They don't have the same burn time of a non-Defra stove.
A Defra approved stove can be fitted with a 5" liner instead of the standard 6". It is easier to install the stove in older chimneys, or in cases where there are awkward bends in the flue liner. It also lowers the cost of the stove. It's particularly useful for those who live in an old house or a flat where the chimney stack has serious issues.
Defra-approved stoves are the best in eco-friendly heating. They not only look stunning, but they are also efficient and keep you warm for long periods of time. They're a great alternative to electric and gas heaters, and can even be used during power outages. They are also a great asset for landlords and holiday cottage owners who want to draw in tenants.
