Stormy St Bees

Jethro,

It may be of interest to you to kown that St. Bees is at the start of, arguably, the most loved long distance walk in England; Wainwright’s Coast to Coast Walk that crosses England to Robin Hood’s Bay on the East coast. I took a similar photo some years ago from St. Bee’s Head.

I notice you have pictures from the English Lake District, and it is in this region that Wainwright’s guides are considered as a kind of Bible.

Unfortuneately we only covered about 50 miles before my old mate fell on Red Pike and later we had to give up!

Regards, Peter

I dreamed of the Lykewake walk as a kid and then later the 'coast to coast' and whilst I never owned a Wainwright guide my shelves are covered in pretty much everything else (including some canvas backed Fell & Rock Guides to the Lakes). Peter I must confess that I was a great armchair hiker and we would plan the wee hours away with dreams of grand hikes.

This was a wonderful stormy day captured without adulteration by Photoshop on Agfachrome slide film.

One day I will go back! Both the St Bees and to film!

Warmest regards from North Carolina
