- 7/11/22. Shortest of walks in wellies over rusty gate from layby/old road. (after teaching at Kirbie Kendal school and returning to Troutbeck on a grey damp day.) Web research finds: So what is a 'Scream Point'? `(This) is one of those places which in the days of my childhood used to be called `scream points.` They were given this name because, when you came to them, you couldn't help calling-out `Oh!` The earliest `scream point` that I can remember was on the road from Kendal to Staveley, where, as you come round a corner, you suddenly see the whole range of the high fells of the Lake District spread out in front of you. No visitor can go there on a fine day without exclaiming vociferously: `Oh, how lovely!` in short, he `screams` when he reaches that `point.` If he doesn't there must be something amiss with him.` 'A Tour In Westmorland' Ch8 by Sir Clement Jones, 1948 A It was apparently so well known that it has actually made it onto the OS 1:25000 map -
