Set into a beautiful watercolour illustration, this original poem describes the careful scramble along Striding Edge towards Helvellyn, perfectly catching the rough stone, shifting skies, and quiet peace above Red Tarn. Any keen hillwalker who treasures the memory of those slow-earned miles would love this print on their wall.

Hiking Striding Edge

Above Red Tarn, a narrow ridge runs high,
Its broken rock a line against the sky.
On Striding Edge, I pause to choose my tread,
With Helvellyn’s rising slopes ahead.

My hands find purchase on the weathered stone;
Among these fells, my cares seem less my own.
When cloud comes down, the distant views grow small,
And caution matters more than views at all.

Beyond the ridge, the higher slopes still rise,
And draw my gaze towards the shifting skies.
I take no prize but memories away:
The rock, the tarn, the slow-earned miles of day.

The print. A4 (21 x 29.7cm) or A3 (29.7 x 42cm). Framed in a solid wood moulding in black, white or natural wood, with shatterproof acrylic glazing and hanging fixtures fitted, or unframed on 200gsm fine-art paper, sent flat and ready for a frame of your own. Printed to order.

Sizes

A4 — 21 × 29.7 cm

A3 — 29.7 × 42 cm

Each size is the printed sheet itself. Framed, the 20 mm moulding sits outside it and there is no mount, so the whole sheet is on show. Unframed, it is sent flat, ready for a frame of your own.

Paper, frame and glazing

Printed on 200 gsm enhanced matte fine-art paper — no gloss and no glare, so the words read cleanly from across a room.

Framed in a 20 mm wide solid wood moulding in black, white or natural wood, glazed with shatterproof acrylic rather than glass, with a backing board and hanging fixtures already fitted.

Unframed prints are the same paper and the same print, sent flat.
