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.

A great perspective

Zamia furfuracea is a cycad native to southeastern Veracruz state in eastern Mexico. Although not a palm tree (Arecaceae), its growth habit is superficially similar to a palm; therefore it is commonly known as "Cardboard Palm" but the alternate name Cardboard Cycad is preferable. Other names include Cardboard Plant, Cardboard Sago, Jamaican Sago and Mexican Cycad (from Mexican Spanish Cícada Mexicana). The plant's binomial name comes from the Latin zamia, for "pine nut", and furfuracea, meaning "mealy" or "scurfy".

All parts of the plant are poisonous to animals and humans. The toxicity causes liver and kidney failure, as well as eventual paralysis. Dehydration sets in very quickly. No treatment for the poisoning is currently known.

Bill took this photo and this one of the same light post on July 7, 2008, after it had been snapped down to a stump by a tree falling on it after a stormy night.

It has since been wrapped in caution tape to alert passersby of its razorsharp edges. I just love the tape job.

When Sharp Edge reaches the foot of Foule Crag bear right for a few metres and a narrow gully gives the simplest scrambling.

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.

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.

The weather was perfect to climb Blencathra via Sharp Edge. We parked in Mungrisdale and headed up the river Glenderamackin. After walking over to Knowe Crags on the top, we retraced our steps to Hallsfell Top and then came out over Mungrisdale Common and Bowscale Fell.

Looking back along Sharp Edge.

Back of Blencathra

A macro look at the serrated edge of a tape dispenser.

Funny thing happened: Karen took one look and thought it was some piece of bric-a-brack that is on our fireplace mantle. Wrong!

Karen was fascinated when I told her what it was.

Things look so different when viewed full frame up close.
