Scout Scar escarpment and the Lyth Valley Change is in the air. Overnight frost, and fog, says the weather forecast. After the wettest October on record.
Welcome the sun after so much rain and gloom. The low November sun highlights limestone on the escarpment edge. Below, the woods are rich in autumn colour. A jay calls unseen. Raven in weird and witchy call. Sounds of a pheasant-shoot rise from the woods, all week they echo over Scout Scar. Mist lingers in the Lyth Valley, over woods, over flood-waters and the mosses. It is beautiful and strange.

Mist and mirror images that the sun toys with and transmutes In a fusion of elements. Helsington Pool wriggles and snakes across the Lyth Valley through a geometrical network of man-made channels and ditches, to join the River Gilpin to its confluence with the River Kent, to the estuary and out into Morecambe By. There's a godlen glow of Foushaw Moss but the sea is lost in mist.
