  1. ‘We thought death could do with a bit of dancing’: welcome to Sondering, the arts festival with its own funeral march
    By Claire Potter

    A brush with mortality inspired sisters Sophia and Camilla Minden to create a death-themed event featuring live bands, wild swimming … and an ‘emoshpit’

  2. If you have a spare half hour this film, which I saw at the Christchurch leg of the Banff Mountain Film Festival tour, is worth your time.

    Here are some hashtags but don't let them put you off, the film is about them, but it's really a love story.

  3. 23 Years ago, I took a little walk up the Borrowdale fells on a beautiful sunny frosty winters day. I recall having to avoid the granular hard snow patches on the path up by the gill else I'd have shot 30 metres or so into a ravine . Dangerous places, mountains, if you aren't careful! #Borrowdale #LakeDistrict #Winter #Trees #Copse #Wood #Photography

  4. Goldrill Beck Set Free

    Mist and drizzle soften the view over upper Patterdale, where Brotherswater draws the eye and Goldrill Beck winds its way across the valley floor. Not long ago this river was forced into a rigid eighteenth-century channel, cut straight alongside the A592 at the edge of the wood beneath Hartsop above How. The result was a lifeless drain: too deep, to ...

  6. The Bleak Back o’ Skiddaw

    It‘s been a wet and windy day in the Lakes, so naturally very little was accomplished. Instead, here is a photo from yesterday. The “back o’ Skiddaw” offers little to marvel at—a few sheepfolds dot an otherwise featureless landscape. Any rock that dares to stand out gets christened and turned into a boundary marker. This one, the Cloven Stone, is so named because it happens to be s ...

  7. Kirkstone Beck

    It has been two years since I was last this far up Patterdale, and I see there's been quite a bit of change to Kirkstone Beck, thanks to work carried out by the National Trust.

    As in many dales of the Lake District, Kirkstone Beck used to flow in a canalised channel, modified over the centuries to improve drainage to the pastures of the valley bottom. However, it is now understoo ...

  8. #LakeDistrict mountainHigh Street’s main claim to fame is that it is so named because a Roman road between Ambleside and Brougham (near Penrith) ran over it. It makes for a great walk with super views. Details at tinyurl.com/2u2ckhmv

  9. Landscapes from the other weekend on Carrock Fell via Rake Trod onto Round Knott, Miton Hill, Drygill Head and Great Lingy Hill. Views over to Bowscale Fell, Coomb Height, Blencathra and many of the north western fells. Superb day, so lucky to have chosen yet another weekend of snow!

  11. Got a couple more posts of bits from Whinlatter.

    This a metal sculpture in the main carpark at the visitor centre, I love the metal work on this and the way the green moss is adding a touch of colour.

  12. Morning walk at Whinlatter Forest, one of Forestry Englands sites in Cumbria. Although there is a lot of fireroad walking, when you get off into the woods there are some lovely scenes.
