Night sky delights over Sharp Edge and Blencathra
Star trails over Sharp Edge and Blencathra, Lake District National Park. Against the wishes of my aching body I set off for a brief soiree up Blencathra last Wednesday.

"No pain, no gain!" Reaping rewards on Blencathra
Dawn from Sharp Edge, Blencathra. I keep being told to sit back and take a wee break of late by friends and family who’ve noticed I’m becoming rather forgetful and getting into slight mishaps with day to day living and my work.
