The summer programme consisted of three Excursions or Field 

 Days. The first was to Grasmere, Rydal, Loughrigg Terrace, 

 Red Bank, &c., on the 22nd of June. Tea was provided at the 

 Prince of Wales Hotel, after which a paper on " Wordsworth, his 

 Life and Works," was read by J. Maitland, Esq. The second was 

 to the ancient Camps at Overwater, Caer Mot, and Castle Howe, 

 on the 19th July. On this occasion a paper was read by J. Fisher 

 Croslhwaite, Esq., F.S.A., on "The Camp at Caer Mot," and also 

 a letter on the same subject, written by the late Dr. Leitch. The 

 third was to Scale Hill, by Borrowdale, Honister Pass, and Butter- 

 mere. While tea was being prepared at Scale Hill, some of the 

 party ascended Brackenthwaite Hows, where an excellent view of 

 the whole valley may be obtained, and from whence the course of 

 a desolating flood caused by a water-spout breaking upon Grassmoor 

 in the year 1760, may be traced out. An account of this occur- 

 rence was read by the President. Some of the party also visited 

 the old Lead Mine on the right bank of the Cocker, after which 

 the return journey was made by way of VVhinlatter.
