Helvellyn has now become Patricia’s favourite walk thanks to its fabulous views and she has created five different versions of the mountain in a variety of media including oils, handmade prints, and pen and wash.
Catbells, Scafell Pike, Buttermere and Coniston are the other Lakes walks which Patricia has captured on canvas along with Snowdon and Tryfan in Wales; Malham Cove in North Yorkshire; Dunstanburgh in Northumbria, and Mam Tor in the Peak District.

Patricia completed most of these walks herself but when lockdown scuppered plans to visit those furthest away from her Heysham home, she relied on friends and relatives to send photographs.
One Buckinghamshire village was named one of the best places to walk by on ITV’s ‘Britain’s Favourite Walks: Top 100’, a two-and-a-half-hour special presented by Julia Bradbury and Ore Oduba. The show that was first broadcast in 2018 featured some notorious routes including the Lake District and Ben Nevis - but none other than Great Missenden found itself on the list. A video that showed a Mercedes sliding down a hill in Wycombe during the snow last week went viral across social media. In a town with so many steep hills, it is unsurprising that there were some crashes in the treacherous conditions last Sunday.
