Blackbeck, the name conjures up what you actually feel but not what you see,  facing north and under the dark mined cliffs of Fleetwith Pike its true the sun shines rarely here but even when it doesn't the beck is a resplendant slice of silver sluicing fast through a dank, deep dark trough of stone. In the valley below Buttermere forms a silver flash, its a great mountain place for peace and meditation When I came here it was quiet everyone around had as ever gone on to the tops complexity. So I sat on my slice of karrimat and painted bliss..and bliss
