Bowfell

Friday 25th November 2016, 12.50pm (day 1,919)

Bowfell, 25/11/16

Having worked five of the last six Sundays, and as I’m going to be working this Sunday too, and with it being the only Friday morning all semester when I wasn’t teaching — I arranged weeks ago to make this  a completely guilt-free day off. It could have been raining, misty, foul, all the things it usually is in late November….

…. but it wasn’t. Thank you world.

Back on 7th October 2011 this summit, Bowfell, was pictured from a greater distance on an earlier Lake District walk, and it also popped up on 22nd June this year, which makes it the first mountain to get on the blog three times (excepting the obvious case of Kilimanjaro).

Pike o’Stickle and Bowfell

Tuesday 21st June 2016, 12.05pm (day 1,762)

Pike o'Stickle and Bowfell, 21/6/16

After over a week of it raining every day, today — the summer solstice — while not exactly sunny, was at least dry. I had a book needing reading for work, I took it on the trains and went for a short but rewarding walk around the head of Great Langdale. Bowfell, in the background, is 2,960 feet high, and not on the itinerary today, but I did get to the sugarloaf summit of Pike o’Stickle about half an hour after this picture was taken. Note the walkers on the top at this point.

Bowfell, from Great Crag

Friday 7th October 2011, 1.40pm (day 43)

Bowfell, 7/10/11

This could well have been one of the best days of my whole life for photography. To pick only one was really difficult, but I like this one a lot because this really looks like a mountain, something Andean or Himalayan, almost. (OK, there’s no snow, but it looks aloof, unattainable.) But almost every photo today was a winner – the conditions were just perfect. Lucky, lucky man.

Plenty more pictures to come, if they are not already there, on the 214 Wainwrights blog. (They’ll all be up by tomorrow night.)
