Andy Beck- The Wainwrights in colour.

The sketches shown here are the images that I have so far produced for this "Wainwright". The views are taken from the exact spot where A.W. stood to illustrate his seven pictorial guides. The comparative views are mainly different due to the time of day, weather conditions and seasonal differences. The originals of my sketches are approximately twice as wide and twice as high as A.W's pen and ink drawings. I have added notes to give more information to each sketch.

All images are the copyright of the artist.

To obtain these references has required 4 days of walking: 14/11/07, 7/10/08, 4/1/09, 20/4/10 (click on the dates to see the photos)

From Ashness Wood. 4/1/09

Shoulthwaite Crags. 20/4/10

The eastern side of Bleaberry Fell looking south.

The summit from the ruined cottage. 7/10/08

Pile of stones and a few "domestic" features are all that now remain of the cottage. marshy ground lies between here and the fell.

The summit 4/1/09

The simple cairn has now been re-developed into a circular wind-shelter with a fine view north to Skiddaw.

Falcon Crag. 20/4/10

An awkward location to get to due to thick gorse, the reward was watching a pair of breeding peregrines on the crag itself.

more images to be posted shortly.
