To obtain these references has required 5 days of walking: 3/7/06, 12/6/09, 10/4/11 , 3/6/11 11/7/11(click on the dates to see the photos) Scafell Pike 3210'
Scafell Pike from Throstle Garth. This black and white drawing completed in the style of Wainwright has been completed as part of additional material for the project and does not form part of the Scafell Pike set. It has been sold as a separate original at the exhibition.
From Great Moss. 12/7/11 I had a slight problem in locating the exact position of this sketch. In AW's drawing there is a large mound in the mid-distance which I was unable to find. I knew I was in the right area as all of the scene lined up. However on close scrutiny of AW's black and white photograph it appears that the "mound" was actually a peat outcrop which has been eroded in the intervening years. Note how the river is also now much wider and more uniform.
From the gorge of the Esk. A dusting of snow on the very tops of Scafell Pike and Ill Crag.
Dow Crag 12/7/11 An impressive crag that looms above the route to Little Narrowcove from Great Moss.
Pulpit Rock. 10/4/11 A fine crag that can be viewed from this location at Mickledore.
Broad Crag. 12/6/09 The jumble of rocks that forms the summit of Broad Crag.
Broad Crag. 10/4/11 The view of Broad Crag from the Corridor Route.
Ill Crag. 12/6/09 It took a couple of visits to the summit of Ill Crag to confirm that I had the exact reference for this sketch, the jumble of rocks and stones were hard to identify.
Ill Crag. 12/6/09 From the path above Esk Hause.
From Hollow Stones. 3/6/11 This was a tricky reference to obtain as on my arrival at the location the sun was in the wrong position to gain any detail of the crags. A half hour wait paid off with a suitable photograph.
Little Narrowcove. 12/7/11 A super location for a sketch with dramatic rock surroundings and a pleasant stream.
Taylorgill Force. 10/4/11 These falls also make an appearance in the Base Brown chapter but from a slightly different viewpoint.
A view to the summit. 12/6/09 The well trodden path just by Ill Crag.
Broad Crag Col. 12/6/09 A great view over to Bowfell and Crinkle Crags over the gap of Little Narrowcove.
The summit. 12/6/09 Sited on the highest point of England is this man-made platform amongst a sea of rocks. Only a small patch of turf shows through.
Lord's Rake. 3/6/11 A sketch used by AW in this chapter to illustrate the route to Scafell. Here Lord's Rake is seen from the Mickledore Ridge.
Fell Complete.
