Reading for a rainy Saturday on Hefted, from @GeorgeKitching. "The name John Pepper is largely lost in Lakeland literary circles. But his ode to Cockley Beck, where he spent six winters engaged in a search for meaning, is a classic of nature writing..." hefted.substack.com/p/cockle…

Lovely linescape from Mark to accompany a forthcoming Hefted piece from @GeorgeKitching about the little-known John Pepper masterpiece, 'Cockley Beck: A Celebration of Lakeland in Winter'.
Named for a tragedy & rocked by a murder, serene Brothers’ Water hides its secrets below the majestic cliffs of Dove Crag. I walk up to the cave called Priest Hole and tell Dovedale’s stories. #LakeDistrict #Cumbria @keswickbootco @walkingbookscom

Celebrated the solstice with an evening walk up the Old Man of Coniston. A rare treat to have it to myself.
The Cartmel Peninsula with its ring of outlying Wainwrights boasts a landscape rich in contrast, but ever close are the perilous sands of Morecambe Bay. On a 24 mile round, I recount 2 Victorian tragedies. #LakeDistrict #Cumbria @keswickbootco @ByLakeland

Eden will run where Eden ran"
