"There are still places in England where elemental nature dominates, and man appears hardly more than a speck". The author of this account of life in Eskdale, below Scafell, lives on a farm among the fells. He writes of the vagaries of Scafell's weather that can veer swiftly from sunshine and the beauty of coloured landscape to blinding cloud and bitter hail; of the changeless yet always changing fells themselves; of warm and eager life in the dale; of everyday work with the sheep that browse austerely; and of the risks and ardours of mountain rescue work.
Condition
