Red Screes via Kilnshaw Chimney

Red Screes, Kirkstone Pass Wainwright fell

On 12th May 2016, an adventurous scramble up Red Screes via Kilnshaw Chimney was undertaken, diverging from the usual pathway from Kirkstone Pass. This challenging route, featuring steep and loose scree, and a tricky rock face, offered a more secluded ascent. Despite the Kirkstone Pass Inn being closed, the journey was rewarded with picturesque views at the summit, where other tarns and pools complement the landscape. The descent required careful navigation, culminating back at a well-equipped but free car park.

West Loups’s Abandoned Farmstead

West Loups's ruined farmstead, Cothersone Moor, Teesdale

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.

2024 Show Season Cancelled

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.

New work now available

A Langdale Classic

Great Slab Bow Fell with Langdale Pikes beyond

On October 3, 2008, Andy embarked on an extensive exploration of Great Langdale, targeting the high tops documented in Wainwright’s Book 4, “The Southern Fells.” His journey included peaks such as Crinkle Crags, Bow Fell, and others, aiming to gather material for his “Wainwrights in Colour” project. Starting early from The Old Dungeon Ghyll Hotel, the day-long trek through the stunning but rugged terrain was fruitful, capturing essential references and experiencing notable features like Gladstone’s Finger, while documenting the adventure with the limited capabilities of a Fujipix S5500 camera. This endeavour provided both challenging and memorable elements, encapsulating the timeless beauty of these fells.
