Wildcamp in Eskdale

  A drive round to Eskdale in the south west region of the lakes and a walk up to High Gaits Crags. That was the first part of my overnight trip this week. Sadly the weather wasnt as good as I hoped but the odd break in the clouds did give the chance of one or two good shots.

Light at Scar Lathing.

I pitched the tent on the crags in the hope that either the late sun or dawn would afford some good light but that didnt happen, there is no accounting for the weather. The next day took me up and over the high fells of Scafell Pike and Scafell using some unusual and entertaining routes.

All in all a very enjoyable trip. To see the rest of the photographs from the route do visit the On Location section of the website www.theteesdalegallery.co.uk

Scafell Pike on a Sunday?

 Usually I try and avoid heading over to the Lake District on a Sunday especially when the weather is pretty good. However today I took a chance and headed west as the forecast for the coming week looked unpredictable. I was on for a long day out trying to obtain as many references as possible for my Wainwright Project. It was a glorious day with good sunshine but with light haze.

Afternoon above Wasdale Head.

I managed to obtain a few reasonable shots so watch this space for the results. To see the route and some examples from the day check out the gallery website: www.theteesdalegallery.co.uk and click on the On Location section.
