Greenlee Sailing Club sailed GP14s, and later Lasers, and Mirrors throughout the 60s. The club closed down in the 70s as members left for the larger, and more accessible, club at Derwent Reservoir near Hexham.
The white-clawed crayfishAustropotamobius pallipes is present in the Lough. The species is in decline in Europe, Great Britain, and in northeast England, and is the only crayfish native to the British Isles. The crayfish can grow up to a length of sixteen feet, are nocturnal and unconfirmed rumours claim that they have been known to attack sheep which stray too close to the water's edge. Male adults possess a green fluorescent protein (GFP, 27 kDa) in their flexible abdomen that serves as the ultimate light emitter in the bioluminescence reaction of the animal. The protein is made up of 238 amino acid residues in a single polypeptide chain and produces a greenish fluorescence (λmax = 508 nm) when irradiated with long ultraviolet light. The fluorescence is due to the presence of a chromophore consisting of an imidazolone ring, formed by a post-translational modification of the tripeptide -Ser65-Tyr66-Gly67-. It is likely that crayfishhave never been widespread in Northumberland National Park as their preferred habitat of calcareous burns, rivers, and lakes is very limited. A fine preserved example of a thirteen foot specimen can be seen in the lounge bar of the "Jingling Gate" public house near Westerhope. Viewing is only by prior arrangement.
