An Easter one might work as well, come to think of it.

I’d like to say I take a great deal of care when taking a picture but I just point the camera and it usually does the rest. But it doesn’t always work. The world is a cold and cruel place.
Cheers, Alen

Sad to hear about the camera treachery though.

The header is, indeed, very good. ????

It was a really good walk and I should be satisfied with that. What makes it painful, though, is that it was a perfect day for taking pictures. Still, there will be other days, so I’m putting it down to experience. Worse things have happened at sea.
All the best, Alen

I shouldn’t say this but the header image makes me laugh too. Watch out for the three wise men making an appearance. Christmas spirit, and all that.
Camera seems to be working okay now. But it’s worrrying in a way because I don’t know what’s wrong with it.
All the best, Alen

A lovely round of fells you did there, pity about the camera but you did manage to save some really nice atmospehric shots there, its not all about the camera I keep telling myself, its about the walk as we full well know.

Happy Christmas and all the best for the New Year.

Paul

That made me laugh! What a shame about your pics, but it sounds like a brilliant walk anyway. The pics that you saved are fantastic. I like the analogy of a camera devouring its own offspring (maybe ‘like’ isn’t the right word). I hope that it has a less traumatic birth next time round!

I stuck the card in the card-reader slot on thr computer, and it was while they were transferring that I first noticed most of the pictures were unreadable. I’ve since downloaded a couple of apps which are supposed to save corrupted files, but the whole lot seem to be beyond repair. I’ll just have to live with it. New card in camera and things seem to be going okay.
Cheers, Alen

I don’t know that camera in detail. But did you try taking out the card and putting it in a card-reader directly linked to the computer? I always do mine like that: it’s quick and there’s no faff. If it’s a big card you might need to use a powered hub. The pics might still be there… Whatever, those hills, beautiful in all weathers, will still be there. Regards, Bill.S

I’ve had no trouble with the camera since Coniston. Now I’m wondering if the files were damaged during the transfer process, which is where I became aware of the problem. I was out on the North York Moors yesterday (new memory card), took loads of pictures, and had no problems whatsoever. I’ll just keep an eye on things. I’d never go back to film though. Digital cameras are brilliant, although there’s a lady a couple of comments up who would argue the toss over it.
I worked in Barrow shipyard from 1973 to 76, then 1977 to 80, then 1988 to 91. I don’t recall Alan Wood, but there were hundreds of welders, and I was one of about 400 electricians.
All the best, Alen

So you did the full Coniston Round. That’s a great walk for a good day. I was tempted to do it last summer but ran out of food early on in the walk and missed out Grey Friar and Wetherlam. I shall return.
Cheers, Alen
