I have been doing some more woodcuts of the dales(with more to come).When I was very young and could not afford what most outdoor shops today consider basic essentials. When i was out walking and climbing with friends we slept in barns and caves-they all had names Ben Froggats barn at Baslow-the poltergeist barn at the roaches-
I was snug-ish in my sleeping bag-a victorian bedspread sewn up on two sides-nothing fancy like lilo's or camping mats we slept on the floor-I was in my 20's before i could afford a "proper" sleeping bag!
These images bring back a memory of some of those great days
