English Lake District

A5, very messy pen sketch

View from the South End of Goat's Water which is near to the Old Man of Coniston (a large hill).

I drew this whilst on a Unversity Walking club walk. I could only stop for 20 minutes, otherwise people would start getting too cold; which is generally unpleasant for those of us who are human beings.

Goat's water itself had a sheet of ice over parts of it. There were a few bits of snow in places but nothing much.

A view towards the vague direction of Kentmere in the North East Lake District.

This was the bightest point of the day; after this it got wetter and clouder. Typical April weather and it appearantly rains 1 in 3 days on average in the Lakes...a good reason for all those tourists not to go there and urbanise the place.

I drew this picture from a photo I took on a walk to Fairfield.

I tried experiment drawing the scree on the ridge in the middle ground. In the foreground is a collection of exposed rocks and off in the distance to the left is Lake Coniston.
