I have a long term project walking the 'Wainwrights' (Lake District summits). To add interest I am doing them only using public transport and my feet (like Wainwright) and in book order (like Wainwright!). This weekend I completed Book 2. I've been mapping my routes using @observablehq.com Plot.

Map of the Far Eastern fells of the English Lake District. The map is a shaded relief in sepia tones reflecting the 'red' colour of Wainwright's 'Far Eastern Fells' book. Major lakes of Ullswater (top), Haweswater (right) and Windermere (bottom-left) are shown in blue. The town of Ambleside in labelled at the bottom-left of the map. On top of the shaded relief, all 36 Wainwright summits are marked as dark red triangles with text below each giving its name. These are connected with red dashed lines generated from my GPS walking tracks. The title of the map in the bottom-right corner says "Book Two The Far Eastern Fells".Map of the Eastern fells of the English Lake District.

'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)

An embroidery hoop containing a sewn landscape from above. It shows a forest on the right, a line of fire and charred ground with smoke on the left. The smoke is felted wool.

63 grass fires in one day. That's the challenge London's firefighters faced yesterday. My thanks goes out to them for all their hard work. We all have a part to play in reducing that risk. Keep sparks, cigarettes and anything hot well away from dry grass. If you spot a fire, call 999.
