El Perro Negro's Day to Day Ramblings

As a young inner city kid, in 1971 I was introduced to the hills. We spent some days camping & climbing the mountains surrounding the Newlands Valley in England's Lake District. Last week I returned to my spiritual hiking birthplace.

The forecast was dreadful but the gods were smiling. Cloud inversion & some wonderful light conditions. Quite emotional. Brought back many memories from my past.

Looking across the Newlands Valley from Stairwith fields and tress intertwined with low mists

A person in blue jacket and red rucksack ascend a broad ridgeon the right. To the left lie mountains mists and ridges

Looking down the Newlands Valley to the peak of Skiddaw which is enclosed in cloud. A famhouse in the centre has red heather and bracken slopes going up to the left. Low inversion mists cloud the hillsides

A person in yellow jacket on the right looks down Coledale Beck towards the Newlands Valley and Keswick, Derwentwater area. Green fields mix with bright orange slopes of heather and braken.
