Preparation for a series of paintings on Cumbria's ridges. 

Striding edge is one of the iconic mountain routes in England and a great training ground for Scottish Welsh and basic Alpine ridge routes, albeit a popular day out for my old sheepdog Ben who simply loved scampering around its airy rocks before the walk and descent down Dow Crag to the camp site and pub at Brothers water.
