Snowy Blencathra from last month.

Great day walking the Blencathra Group of fells, 19km in glorious sunshine. 5 Wainwrights (36/214):

📍Blencathra
📍Mungrisdale Common
📍Bannerdale Crags
📍Souther Fell
📍Bowscale Fell

Note to self - when wearing shorts stay out of the thick vegetation (see photo below) 🤦

Trancer Trancazia Christopher Athey 🇺🇦 Україна Not so good over Blencathra, though. Anything visible now from where you are?

There were even some disasters at a couple of these mines, including at Wellington Pit and Haig Pit (both after 1900 but still).

On top of this, some gold has been found in Lake District (such as at Dunmail Raise, Blencathra Mountains, Mungrisdale, Troutbeck, and Sedbergh),-

Trancer Trancazia Christopher Athey 🇺🇦 Україна Ha! Im just watching the Blencathra webcam from Derby, as that shows the aurora really well. But it’s not dark enough for the camera to show anything yet. So that’s appreciated. But latest report shows a sudden drop off. 🙁

Yuri Bezmenov's Ghost 🥸 Blencathra ⛰️ by Keswick artist Nelsonn. A mountain I climb every time I visit the Lakes. Just makes me happy to see it every day. 😄🙏❤️

VertebratePublishing How long have you got?? Erm, Blencathra in the Lakes…so many approaches to it: Sharp Edge, Hall’s Ridge… climbed it in all the seasons over so many years.

Iain Cameron 140-odd Munros *and* pro trans rights. Who'd have thunk this was possible?!?

(Ngl this pic was taken a few years ago, pre-kids, though have dragged the weans up Blencathra and Cat Bells since).

Views from Blencathra to the Lakes and Scotland, and a *very* cold swim in Scales Tarn after descending Sharp Edge.

Yesterday, Cumbria Tourism travelled in the new Kia EV9 up to Silloth and down the coast! Here are some brilliant photos from their journey, at Allonby, Maryport and Threlkeld looking up to Blencathra. 📸

Headed up Blencathra yesterday & was rewarded with this view. No better medicine 😍

Is it just me or is there a resemblance ?😉

1/ A brief thread on inheritance taxes:

Sometime in August 2014, a news item caught my attention. It said that Lakshmi Mittal, the steel tycoon, is planning to buy Blencathra, a 2850 feet-high peak, in Cumbria, UK. Curious about why the guy would buy a mountain, I dug in.

Couldn’t get to Fontevraud to see Richard 1 or Trajan’s columns in Rome ..however the Cast Court in the V&A on a Friday evening is a good call👍 😀 Nigel J.Hetherington 🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺 Pete Savin Mary-Ann Ochota PAUL KINGSTON Kevin Wilbraham Natasha Billson 💙💛 (▶️behind the trowel) Marina Amaral Past Preservers Experiences
