The Nab Unveiled
Saturday, yesterday, was not exactly conducive to hiking and photography as the humidity and heat of the week resulting in a torrential downpour all day. Today, Sunday, was thankfully much better. I made my way east to the wonderfully quiet Mallerstang valley, in search of a composition from underneath the centrepiece of the valley: Wild Boar Fell.
Once you get over the first “lip” of the valley, the land flattens out and The Nab of Wild Boar Fell pins your eyes open in amazement. Underneath The Nab, you can find a little area of limestone pavement known as Angerholme Pots, so I took my time with compositions, watching the cloud cover lifting from The Nab, and enjoying the otherworldly shapes of the limestone.
