Photoset from a visit to Wasdale in the Western Lake District. Mostly views of the landscape from the tourist path to Sca Fell; we didn’t continue to the summits on this occasion.
Thanks to Samuel for the portrait of the photographer.
Climber making progress on a granite face, high up on Le Brévent (2525 m.), across the valley from Mont Blanc (4808 m.) and more than a kilometre vertically above Chamonix. Views from the cable-car of le Brévent télépherique, itself a major engineering marvel.
Pictures of Wast Water and Nether Beck waterfalls in Wasdale in the Western Lake District.
Brighton’s derelict West Pier this weekend. Opened in 1866 and much photographed ever since. The West Pier was gutted by fire many years ago.
There are persistent rumours about the supernatural monsters of West Cumbria. The lycanthropes and werewolves of Muncaster Castle in Eskdale are sometimes seen on Fright Nights around Halloween. There’s the King Kong in Keswick who surveys the traffic coming out of Borrowdale. But more rarely-sighted is the monster creature that inhabits the deeper parts of Wast Water, in Wasdale in West Cumbria. Bassenthwaite Lake has also had sightings reported of a cryptozoology monster, the best-documented was in 1961.
