A green tent on the shoreline lit up in the darkness by a headtorch inside the tent so it glows. The sky still has the faintest hints of purple.

Solo camp at Millstone Point. Insulated wellies the footwear of choice!
Chilly night, & dawn a bit subdued, but lovely views of an otter. Years ago, I was involved in the rescue of an otter cub who was rehabilitated, then released on this coast. Wonder if this little soul is one of her descendants?

Thank you! It was very windy so he kept losing his hair!

It's been a while since i posted . Enjoying a reset in Scotland!

I purchased image rights to original artwork for a movie poster of the 1964 film ‘The Fall of the Roman Empire’. I’ve adapted it into a photomontage featuring Trump, Musk, Vance and the rest of the wrecking crew.

Helpful!

I'm not sure. Perhaps not. I would recommend visiting Rheged for the expo x

Currently looking at the Everest exhibition at Rheged, near Penrith. Absolutely fascinating.

I visited the other week. As you say it was fascinating! Did you view a film/talk too?

Word of the day is ‘quafftide’ (16th century): the season for drinking. Also a pithy way of declaring that it’s time to relax.

Works for hydropots (water drinkers) just as well.

Thank you!

Well done to Jim and Paddy, who have finished their first day on the job as Fell Top Assessors!
