by William Green, Ambleside, Westmorland, drawn 1808-10,
published 1810. goto sourcepage 84:- "..." "The bridges on Nether and Over Becks are not of the safest, for, being narrow and shabbily fenced (that is picturesquely), some will not venture their carriages over them. The writer in company with a friend, passed in a gig, in 1809, that on Nether Beck, and would have found no hesitation in proceeding, but having arrived at Over Beck, a sight of Yew-barrow, Gable, and Scho-fell, from that place, was deemed sufficient." goto sourcepage 86:- "Carriages may be left at Nether Beck Bridge, if the party think proper to proceed on foot to Over Beck, where Yew-barrow assumes its best form; and from thence to the head of the lake, or to Wastdale Head, just at the will of the tourist." |
