a Cheesy Teddy Tour

[QDanT]

Set off this morning to park at the end of Kingsdale above Thornton in Lonsdale

with my destination being the Cheese press stone

at the stone

passing some perched glacial boulders on the way

with a view back over to Inglebourgh from them

at the Cheese press stone

dinner was corn beef and marmite rolls with onion and a glass of South African Shiraz
and a brew with the crusader running on solid fuel tablets lit with cooks blowtorch

eaten while looking at the view over Arnside Knott to Morcambe Bay

and further north west to the Lakedistrict

just started a light snow on the way down but no problems
cheers all Danny

I was talking to a friend about Erratics and he'd said, have you been to the Cheese press stone, I said no and asked for directions and these are what I followed :- Park at the bottom of Kingsdale before the Falls turn off and take the first "track" on your left, follow it up and when your at the top on the level there's a great big boulder with another smaller one with a letter box slot in it just in front, you can't miss them! Well you can if you don't have the same vocabulary, to me a track is some thing a cart goes down i.e. cart track
tractor track, so as soon as I saw x2 ruts I followed them up on to the top then came to the two boulders pictured in first post. On showing these to my friend he came back with "never seen them before but there not the Cheese press stone" so maps out to find his track means footpath. You can see the hashed lines I followed on the map and the green dashed I should have. With a forecast of snow for late morning I set the alarm and made an early start but before I got into Kingsdale the road was covered in snow so I turned round and parked back down the hill and walked in. I got as far as the ladder stile where the green dashes start on the map

looking back the way I came up

I could see the Cheese press stone on the horizon

But it was getting hard work to not fall in the snow covered hidden Grikes

So I called it a day and will post photos of the real Cheese press stone after the thaw ----Watch this space

With snow forecast Wed night Thursday I set off this morning in thick wet mist before cabin fever set in. By Ingleton
it was getting brighter and on the climb into Kingsdale at about 800 ft. I broke through the murk into a nice day
and this time with most of the snow gone I was soon at the Cheese Press stone

it was worth the effort this time the right one !

from the stone looking across to Thornton Force over the Clints which last time were covered in snow

and looking up Kingsdale the walled enclosure just above center is where I came back to for dinner.

after having a wander about on the escarpment looking at the other perched glacial boulders

but this one's a proper erratic being Greywacke Sandstone from over the hill in Crummackdale

I got as far as the slopes of Gragareth.(What a great name straight out of Lord of the Rings)
but the weather looked to be thickening at the top

So I turned round and headed back to the dinner spot I'd seen from the Cheese stone

Spot on - out of the wind.
Dinner was a brew followed by a baked beans + chili flakes with sliced thin kebanos, Jaffle ironed into a toasty I'd forgotten
how hot these become but was soon reminded with super heated bean steam at first bite. So onto plate to cool

followed by a plonk French red that wasn't all that bad.
before heading back along the escarpment to join the track from my first attempt to the wrong "Cheese stone". There was still snow to play in on the way back this at SD 6868 - 7582 at 15:03

cheers all Danny

It's a Jaffle iron, as mentioned. Never used one though, so no idea how good they are.

 

[QDanT]

I think they're called Pie irons over here
this site has a good explanation
http://www.the-old-smokehouse.co.uk/acatalog/Pie_Iron_Cooking_.html
I called it a Jaffle iron because I got it via e-bay Australia so here's an Ausy link
http://www.mitsu4wdclubqld.org/tips/kampkitch/tips-cook-jaffle.htm
I thought most students knew of these here's a uk e-bay link

To be honest today was the first time I tried on on a camping stove
usually it's on a camp fire or a b-b-q so bread butter side out, to cook non stick,
leaks out the mold over stove untill toasty pocket is nearly cooked
and sealed which doesn't matter over a fire but makes a mess over stove
cheers Danny
