"The picture unfolds like the canvas of a master. This is Cinemascope in excelsis, on a scale never envisaged by Hollywood. A vast scene on a screen as wide as the heavens. All of it is beautiful, natures quiet artistry" Wainwright on the view from #Skiddaw Little Man #LakeDistrict Vs Henry's view

Blackton and Hury reservoirs. Drained by design not drought. Built by the Stockton & Middlesbrough corporation to ensure a regular flow to the Tees in summer to supply the industry on Teesside. Now being refurbished as part of a new pipeline providing water to Teesside and Darlington

Took the little man up Skiddaw Little Man today. We were aiming for the main summit but was blowing a v wet gale on the top. He wasn't impressed, so we bailed on trying the final ridge. And here are some high Lake stiles for you @lakesstiles.bsky.social. The one he's posing at is at 825m

Already knackered but enjoying the view just before we entered the cloud lineThe lower (740m) recreational stile below the little manLittle Man at the Little Man (865m). And looking very unimpressed too At the high stile between Skiddaw and the Little Man at 825m. Can we just get down the hill now?

I hope the rest of the EU is ready to ship Belgium's export to the US via third countries in advance of the 500% tariff about to be imposed

Took a 75 mile ride out to #Hartlepool yesterday. I'd only ever been once before to the football ground 30 odd years ago. Theres some good stuff there, but it's hidden and poorly signed which is a definite shame

The old Friarage Manor House. Built after the dissolution on the friary site it has served various functions including hospital and work house. I got this info from Google afterwards as it's just sitting boarded up and with no signs anywhere that I could findAt the end of the headland is this canon brought back from Sebastopol after the Crimean War. It's next to the interesting looking Heugh Battery Museum which I didn't stop at but will return to. It looks interesting but again, I stumbled upon it without any obvious signage towards itThere are some lovely looking old parts around the harbour. There could be a great little walking tour to visit them The tall ship outside the town museum. I think you can get to it quite easily be car, but it didn't seem easy on foot/bike. This was as close as I could get
