Back in 2004 Jayne and I were walking in the Lake District at any opportunity and would drive up early to get a day on the Fells. At this point we were working our way around the 214 Wainwrights for the first time. The photos have been mostly ignored, Taken with my new Canon 10D, I had some prints made – and filed them! I wasn’t that impressed with them

I decided to run them through Lightroom the other day and see what was usable. As ever with my early digital stuff blown Highlights were a problem but most have edited to an acceptable degree. Like previous photos from the 10D they have a slightly painted look about them, not quite natural or maybe that's just me seeing them that way.

Easter Sunday and we arrived at Scales below Blencathra - or Saddleback its other name. The cloud was down on the tops as we made our way up Scales Fell to Scales Tarn. We were going up the infamous Sharp Edge for the first time. Cloud was swirling in and out and it was quite busy, the Edge itself wasn’t a problem. We walked to Blease Fell at the southern end of Blencathra, back to the white cross and down Foules Crag onto Mungrisedale Common. The sun was out and it was becoming a glorious day. Out next to Bannerdale Crags, A bite to eat at the top of the crag and the around to Bowscale Fell. This is where I decided we would aim straight for Souter Fell and claim another top. This meant going straight down The Tongue, which was pathless, Crossing the River Glengeramackin ( what a name) and straight up the side of Souter, again no path, very steep and the sun beating down. This was the sort of thing we used to do on a regular basis. When there isn’t a path on the ground there’s usually a good reason. From here it was back to Scales.

We covered 15 miles and five Wainwrights. When we got home I washed the car and then we walked to Slaithwaite and back. According to the diary we were sunburnt, April 11th 2004. Suffering from rust now not sunburn.

From Sharp Edge Bistro in Pittsburgh, PA. Sharp Edge is a Belgian beer restaurant, with beers and ales and ciders from all over the world. There, you order food to go with your beer, not beer for your food.

Back in 2004 Jayne and I were walking in the Lake District at any opportunity and would drive up early to get a day on the Fells. At this point we were working our way around the 214 Wainwrights for the first time. The photos have been mostly ignored, Taken with my new Canon 10D, I had some prints made – and filed them! I wasn’t that impressed with them

I decided to run them through Lightroom the other day and see what was usable. As ever with my early digital stuff blown Highlights were a problem but most have edited to an acceptable degree. Like previous photos from the 10D they have a slightly painted look about them, not quite natural or maybe that's just me seeing them that way.

Easter Sunday and we arrived at Scales below Blencathra - or Saddleback its other name. The cloud was down on the tops as we made our way up Scales Fell to Scales Tarn. We were going up the infamous Sharp Edge for the first time. Cloud was swirling in and out and it was quite busy, the Edge itself wasn’t a problem. We walked to Blease Fell at the southern end of Blencathra, back to the white cross and down Foules Crag onto Mungrisedale Common. The sun was out and it was becoming a glorious day. Out next to Bannerdale Crags, A bite to eat at the top of the crag and the around to Bowscale Fell. This is where I decided we would aim straight for Souter Fell and claim another top. This meant going straight down The Tongue, which was pathless, Crossing the River Glengeramackin ( what a name) and straight up the side of Souter, again no path, very steep and the sun beating down. This was the sort of thing we used to do on a regular basis. When there isn’t a path on the ground there’s usually a good reason. From here it was back to Scales.

We covered 15 miles and five Wainwrights. When we got home I washed the car and then we walked to Slaithwaite and back. According to the diary we were sunburnt, April 11th 2004. Suffering from rust now not sunburn.

Looking back over Foule Crag and Sharp Edge from the edge of Mungrisdale Common.

Blencathra's Sharp Edge, viewed from the top of Mousthwaite Comb

This picture was taken 2am when no one was allowed going in and I had my ways ; )

The ridge starts to narrow as you approach the middle of the scramble. It's actually a lot narrower than it looks in this photo. There is a little path which runs off to the right of the ridge, but this just leads to more problems when you have to climb back up to it where it meets Foule Crag.
