David Howe takes us on a virtual visit to the beautiful Langdale Valley in the heart of the Lake District, and describes how the Borrowdale Fells were formed millions of years ago. We're still in near-lockdown, and the national parks don't want us visiting just yet. But we can put all this in perspective thinking of a completely different time scale: geological eras, deep time. Until it's safe to visit without endangering others...
David draws on the words of the ever-captivating Nan Shepherd, from The Living Mountain, as well as cosmologist Brian Greene, renowned author of To the End of Time.
