Skelgill bank is the broad ridge one reaches on the way up to Catbells. It is also the broad ridge that can conveniently be mistaken for the top of Catbells, if you are a weary first-time hiker who underestimated the effort involved in scaling the latter (better to say you got mixed up than to admit you were knackered - you wouldn’t be the first).
Dream was taken in July 2018. The reverse view, looking back towards Skiddaw is usually the one that catches the eye (and the image Fine is one of those). There was something on this midsummer evening however, in the sky above Dale Head and across to Robinson, in the quality of the clouds - something like smudges of cotton wool, or smoke, or a little of both, or nothing of either, but something - that transfixed. It hangs as a 30” x 20” framed giclee print in The Wynd in Hexham, and in the Lingholm Kitchen in Portinscale.
