Bank Holiday THREAD - part 2

After Windermere& #39;s sunshine and swallows over Claife Heights, I was feeling short of what Alfred Wainwright called "featureless desolation, and solitude, and silence"...

Welcome to Wasdale, near Shap.

Low cloud & #39;CLAG& #39; was a bonus. AW had promised:
Terry Abraham was over in the other Wasdale that day filming handsome folk & fells. (Bet he& #39;d have rather been over here with the wild Angelica).

Then the clouds lifted. I& #39;d not noticed that the Shap Summit Memorial had it& #39;s own memorial before...

Gordon& #39;s widow & friends came up to Shap in 2013, on this, his 1955 bus. To remember Gordon and everyone up there. It& #39;s a hard place.

I followed the Roman road, away from the traffic.
It soon gets quiet.
Never really gets dry.

The peat& #39;s eroding. Changing the climate.
There& #39;s lots being done by @CumbriaWildlife to restore these places. Much more still to do.

Old metal fence stakes laughed at the young wooden upstarts: "We& #39;re still here, you& #39;ll only last 15 years..."

It& #39;s mainly & #39;open access& #39; around there. But this gate was wired shut? Sheep showed me the answer.
This sustainable stile did the rest.

Celebrated finding the & #39;trig point& #39; Alfred had drawn fifty years ago @OrdnanceSurvey

The only landmark is "t& #39;stone on top of t& #39;other" but the cartographer wasn& #39;t local so misheard & mapped it "To Stone Or To& #39;Ther" instead.
There& #39;s a "White Stains" on a local map too (it& #39;s actually White Stones. Same thing happened).

A dozen deer flew by. Sheep hid from the rain.

I didn& #39;t fancy walking a 60mph road in sheet rain, but a ten minute & #39;trespass& #39; kept me safely on track.

There& #39;s a petition about awful new trespass laws, (without which I& #39;d now be a criminal. Or roadkill).

127k signed. Few days left. Please check it out https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/300139">https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions...
Petition: Don’t criminalise trespass

My short & #39;detour& #39; took me past a forgotten homing pigeon coop and later, what (I think) is a pen for birds that are kept to be shot. And a shooting hide.

A satellite-tagged Hen Harrier disappeared nearby in 2018.

The day& #39;s last gate seemed about right.
