Went up Scafell Pike today! We went up the easy route from Wasdale and took several lovely long breaks so it took us between four and five hours to get up to the summit which had incredible views, and then we got caught in the 5pm rain coming down, so that was the end of the rest breaks. My knees are knackered.

Scafell pike is England's tallest peak and Wast Water it's deepest lake.

A beautiful location.

One road in and one road out

So last year the Aston Martin mechanics did the Three Peaks Challenge immediately after the Qatar GP (climbing Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike & Yr Wyddfa in 24 hours) for Movember, and this year they're kayaking for 104km.

I'm starting to think everyone at Aston Martin is just insane (affectionate).

Trick or Treat!!! :3

You get the top inch from Scafell Pike!

Sharptooth wasn't an escaped cougar

DOTC, in one of the more bizarre retcons, decided that Sharptooth wasn't the sharptooth. He was a sharptooth. There's a whole population of them here.

Are we in England? America? Englerica? Who knows! The writers sure don't! I'm on the Scafell Pike! I'm in the Appalachians! I'm in the combination Scafellpikeappalachians!

Scafellachia.

A classic view. From Countess Beck Bridge, along Wast Water to Great Gable, Lingmell and Scafell. Have a great day.

An ask game for writers to procrastinate working on your WIP(s)

Hey all! Thanks so much for tagging me @wellbelesbian, @aristocratic-otter, @valeffelees, @you-remind-me-of-the-babe, @ivelovedhimthroughworse and @iamamythologicalcreature! You’ve all correctly determined that I am procrastinating writing.

1. 🐬Tell us the name of your/ one of your WIP(s)

I actually don’t have any that are named at this point. Titles and tags are really difficult for me and I put both off to the last minute and second-guess myself into hell

2. 🍄Decriscribe your wip/one of your wips in the format of “___ + ___=___”

Popular movie retelling + flying goats = Baz and Dev have A Spot of Bother

3. 🌍What tags or warnings will your / one of your wip(s) need if you intend to share it?

Wraaaugugh, see #1 :P. I don’t know, in seriousness, I think the WIP mentioned above will end up getting a tag for sexual harassment or something like that given the nature of one necessary scene in the movie it’s based on. It’s not going to be worse than the source material, which is PG-13

4. 🧭An alternative title to your/ one of your WIP(s)?

Oh, to have so many ideas for titles that there’s ever an alternative lying around to spare :(

5. ⚠️Which wip your most likely to finish or update next?

I’m pretty likely to finish a sequel to Field Trip of Dreams (SEE WHAT I MEAN about titles?) this week. The eighth years are off on another field trip—this time it’s a weekend training excursion with the Mage. Baz and Simon have been dating for the short time that’s passed since FToD, but they manage to get in a fight on the bus trip to Scafell Pike, and when it turns into a sort-of-tussle the Mage mistakes it for actual animosity and sends them off to a secluded cabin to bang (I mean work🙄) it out. Absolutely everybody but Davy—including the other teachers—knows exactly how much of a “punishment” this is

6. 💾 What is your document of your wip/ a wip called? (not the stories actual title but what you've saved it as)

Practical magic au

7. 🖍️Post Any sentence from your wip

“Shut up, Gareth!” we shout as one, Snow adding a few brutish threats as Gareth pales and turns back around in his seat.

8. ♻️A scrapped idea for your current WIP

I actually can’t remember. I don’t plot my writing out very extensively so in a sense there’s hundreds of little scrapped thoughts rather than anything huge. I’m eliminating a lot of things with my crucible marriage fic, but it’s hard to say right now what’s actually gone or just being moved around. I know a major one I’ve been battling with is that prior to getting dragged off to Pitch Manor by his new husband Baz, I want Simon to have been living with Penny in a flat of their own, but for another aspect of the story I want him to have been living with the Mage in Watford (which is an au mage’s settlement in the fic) as well. There’s ways to work around it for the results I want, I just haven’t written it out yet.

9. 🤔What's a story you'd love to write but haven't even started yet?

I’m pretty sure I have at least a few lines written down for everything I want to write

10. 🤡How many Wips are you actively working on?

Oh, man…actively, probably the field trip one and my COBB. Somewhat less actively: a reverse COBB fic, a sequel to Monsters Under the Bed, a sequel to After Hours where Simon makes good on his promise to despoil Baz on his office desk, and my unending crucible marriage fic. Less active than that: a fic response to a prompt for Simon being the one kidnapped and Baz has to rescue him. There’s probably (cough*definitely*cough) some pretty messed-up OOC smut stuff lying around in my docs as well, that I add to when I’m in the mood and have zero plans to ever post

11. 🛠️Is there a scene or anything in the WIP you are struggling with right now?

I keep telling myself to just write and stop worrying about this for the moment, but I’m kind of bumming myself out worrying about whether I want to use first or third person, as well as past or present tense, for my COBB. I think the issue is that some scenes are bound to play out better one way while others would be better served differently. This is not usually a thing I struggle with.

12. ❤️Not a question, just a second kudos to send.

🥰

This was fun! (Once I stopped putting it off, lol). No pressure tagging (and sorry if I get anyone who’s already done it): @cutestkilla, @mooncello, @artsyunderstudy, @prettygoododds, @drowninginships, @hushed-chorus, @bookish-bogwitch, @thewholelemon, @brilla-brilla-estrellita, @youarenevertooold, @ileadacharmedlife, @facewithoutheart, @imagineacoolusername, @ic3-que3n

BELSTAFF SS24 Scafell Collection

[drastrochris]

I have just made the horrifying realization that Britain is a real place.

This all started when Strange Horticulture mentioned that Scafell Pike is the tallest mountain in England. Which immediately made me realize that Strange Horticulture doesn't just take place in Made Up Fantasy England, but in We Just Changed Windermere to Undermere Fantasy England.

WJCWtU Fantasy England:

That led me to looking this up on google, and discovering that this is the Lake District I've heard about before:

But wait, these names seem familiar. Derwentwater? Ambleside? Those are places in Forza!

That lake in the bottom left is Windermere/Undermere. The lake to the northeast from there is Derwentwater, which is visible in the Lake District map, and would fall off the SH map. The city in the top right corner is Edinburgh, as the Forza map is an artistic interpretation of reality.

So yeah. Britain, as seen in such video games as Forza Horizon 4 and Strange Horticulture, is terrifyingly /real/.

Rest in peace, Iron Joss Naylor, the King of the Fells.

I'll admit I teared up a bit when I found out. I mean it wasn't unexpected; he was 88 and the sheep-farmer-to-legendary-fell-runner progression is hard on the body. Like "how the fuck are you not dead already?" hard on the body. But there's a feeling the world has lost someone unique and great. As far as I'm aware his record for ascending and descending England's highest mountain - Scafell Pike in 47 minutes - has never been beaten.

This is a Guardian reprint from 1972 about his attempt to run 65 Lake District peaks in 24 hours. (The 'standard' Bob Graham Round is 42.)
