Hardknott Pass


Sellafield or Seascale nuclear reactor… I met Less a few days later - he was a worker at the plant dealing with nuclear flasks shipped from Europe for reprocessing...


The million dollar view - Wastwater and Scafell peaks


A golden/orange flow on the Screes… This is a spectacular evening..


Scafell Pike through the mists...


Yup, it might look photogenic but its a bit scary..


The Hercules transport plane makes yet another appearance! These low flybys surely can be distracting...


Cutting a path through the screes… It still looks and probably is tough walking!


New friends from Blackpool...


Clouds rolling off Great Gable.....


Unbelieveably pretty Ennerdale valley comes into view...


Wet and slippery downhill from Red Pike


Red Pike… the reddish soils is a dead giveaway!


Enroute to Robinson, the westernmost boundary mountains of the Lake District look quite imposing..


The horseshoe trail now makes its way to Dale Head Crag...


A superb sunset over Derwentwater...


The stone circle of Castlerigg… Helevellyn in the clouds far out...


Peak of Helvellyn…. Hmm,. so you've just risked life and limb climbing Helvellyn.. It's very windy and there's really no point falling off the trig marker to break a limb NOW?


Langdale, Old Man of Coniston and other peaks off in the distance… It feels great at the top now...


Sunset seen from the Windermere YHA… near Troutbeck..


Darwin House from the outside...


Another 2012 student take..


Drinking achievements Take #2


Chess Valley on the trail from Chalfont and Latimer to Kings Langley


Happy Valley enroute from Couldson to Woldingham


England-SA Test with Peter and Gordon


Bradley Wiggins pedals past!! And the crowd goes wild...


I also ended up jumping in and buying a Brompton (slightly carried away by Olympic fever and Josh's antics)


Japan-Egypt one-sided Olympic Quarter Final at Old Trafford, Manchester


Royal Albert Hall
