Bowfell & Crinkle Crags
A recent visit to Braithwaite & Whinlatter (primarily to watch the Tour of Britain cycle race) gave me the opportunity to scale little Barrow, the little fell overlooking the village, & also to wander up Coledale to within half a mile of its old mine. On one hand, I relished having very little in the way of a load to carry, waterproofs & sustenance being my only burden; on the other, turbulent skies & scattered, dramatic sunlight on the surrounding fells only served to have me rueing my lack of a camera.
Anyway, reacquainting myself with the unique delights of the Lakeland Fells prompted me to dig out one or two overlooked efforts from the past. Here's one not previously seen overlooking Lingcove from south of Esk Pike one fine day last October, an area I would dearly love to revisit in the coming autumnal months.
Apologies to anyone who commented or endorsed any of my images in the last few months, during my absence. All interest is greatly appreciated.
I'm hoping to have the means to take advantage of the approaching autumn/winter with my poor, bedraggled camera gear once again, but it's a little in the balance as I type this. Fingers crossed, anyway.
Thanks, all.
