A quiet farm campsite just outside #Bassenthwaite, with open views across the lake and up to #Skiddaw. It’s a simple setup in a stunning location. Great for exploring the northern Lakes or just staying put and taking it all in.

The view from our belay ledge on Shepherd's Crag. Skiddaw looking amazing beyond Derwent Water and Keswick. Nice to see teams enjoy the classic rock climb Little Chamonix.

60096 ‘Skiddaw’ draws into Leeds Station with 6D51, Hunslet to Rylstone. The late autumn light coupled with the towering buildings around the station causing havoc!

The glassy, ink-blue surface of Lake Windermere at dawn, reflecting the jagged, purple-hued silhouette of distant fells. Ethereal morning mist clings to the water's surface, illuminated by a cold, silver light. Cinematic photography with high contrast and sharp textures of rippling water.

We at @cumbriawildlife.bsky.social are trying to reverse this loss and put back the wildlife & habitats to one mountain in the UK's Lake District: #Skiddaw Forest...entirely thanks to support by #Aviva, local volunteers and nearly 8000 donors who care deeply about this problem

The Lake District We cannot know exactly what this area would have been like when it was full of active volcanoes, but we can get a rough idea from modern subduction regions on Earth today. Under the Mediterranean, …

The latest from JHM is about the Lake District and its formation over the last half billion years, with some additional ponderings about human life.

Lovely story from folks we encountered in the cloud at the top of #Skiddaw yesterday. Commemorating what we have been the 96th birthday of a friend who helped set up a dementia nonprofit. Walking 40 #Wainwrights in his honor.

Sure I have details wrong but I’m glad André (?) will not be forgotten.

D'oh! wish I'd taken a photo of the Ranunculus hederacea in a puddle up on #Skiddaw #Cumbria on Monday

SKIDDAW A fireleg rainhike, Skiddaw’s jagged bones snagging sodden boots. Slateslip. A sudden blindtangle in her unruly white hair – a rowdycloud assault. Skyscream. An igneous tooth is scud-ripping, dismembering the smoke of hellish souls, oblivion roaring from their gaping mouths. I breathe wet paper. Become poetry-bound. Shrink. A foetus pounded by the contractions of thick, labouring vapour, face mucus-slick, not gestating or expelled. Consumed. Aloneness greypads me, swaddles me. I crawl inside my skull, further away from nothing. Helen Laycock *Skiddaw is a mountain in the Lake District. Its 931-metre summit is considered to be the fourth-highest peak and is also variously ranked as the third- and the sixth-highest in England.

Several years ago, we climbed #Skiddaw in the rain, ending up in a cloud. It was terrifyingly loud and visibility was nil.
