On 12th May 2016, an adventurous scramble up Red Screes via Kilnshaw Chimney was undertaken, diverging from the usual pathway from Kirkstone Pass.

Embark on a leisurely walk to West Loups’s Abandoned Farmstead on Cotherstone Moor, accessible via a public footpath. Note that this area, part of an active Army Firing Range, requires caution with red flags. The ruins at West Loups’s, rich in history, offer insights into past settlements and army training remnants. Prehistoric rock art and scenic views complement the walk, but visit only during safe, flag-free days.
Andy and Esther have decided to significantly reduce their participation in the 2024 show season, attending only about 5 out of the originally planned 40 days. This decision, prompted by commercial reasons and not enough new artwork from Andy, aims to refocus on producing quality paintings and expanding brand awareness through other projects, like new content for Andy’s YouTube channel and books. They plan a strong return in 2025 with new artwork and request support from their followers to maintain brand visibility online during this period.
