Two sunsets - one Wasdale viewpoint

Having missed the Wasdale view for a few cloudy weeks it's back with a bang -

Unusually I took a photo looking away from the valley towards the sea yesterday as it was a superb sunset

- and today I took a shot looking the 'usual' way up the valley, this time not Great Gable but towards the Wastwater Screes

- it's hell living at Hallflat Farm!

Wasdale mountain rescue team update

Wasdale mountain rescue team have joined facebook - and produced a brief review of their year - its on their website
http://www.wasdale-mountain-rescue.org.uk/general~news.htm

This is some of the team bringing a stretcher down Lingmel Nose, above Wastwater

The website is worth a visit with all sorts of interesting and useful stuff  - and if you're a lover of Wasdale you may want to become a supporter (see website for details) of the team  which consists totally of volunteers and relies on public contributions to keep their vital service going.
