Siege of Gijón
The siege of Gijón (Spanish: Sitio de Gijón) was a battle that occurred in Gijón, Asturias during the Spanish Civil War between 19 July and 16 August 1936. It was one of the first actions of the war.

A small garrison of Spanish Republican Army soldiers and Guardia Civil officers led by Antonio Pinilla joined the Nationalist rebels after the Spanish coup of July 1936 two days earlier. The Antifascist Worker and Peasant Militias, armed mostly with dynamite, besieged the garrison in support of the Republicans. Pinilla refused to surrender despite threats and starvation, holding off the Republican forces for just over a month until the defenders were killed in a large militia assault.

The siege in Gijón was remarkable for its viciousness and the stubbornness of the besieged.

Dynamite
Diatomaceous earth (or any other type of absorbent material) soaked in nitroglycerin.

Protective coating surrounding the explosive material.

Blasting cap.

Electrical cable (or fuse) connected to the blasting cap.

Dynamite is an explosive made of nitroglycerin, sorbents (such as powdered shells or clay), and stabilizers. It was invented by the Swedish chemist and engineer Alfred Nobel in Geesthacht, Northern Germany, and was patented in 1867. It rapidly gained wide-scale use as a more robust alternative to the traditional black powder explosives. It allows the use of nitroglycerine's favorable explosive properties while greatly reducing its risk of accidental detonation.

Great End
Great End is the most northerly mountain in the Scafell chain, in the English Lake District. From the south it is simply a lump continuing this chain.
From the north, however, it appears as an immense mountain, with an imposing north face rising above Sprinkling Tarn (lake). This is a popular location for wild camping, and the north face attracts many climbers.

Alfred Wainwright wrote of Great End in his Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells:
"This is the true Lakeland of the fellwalker, the sort of terrain that calls him back time after time, the sort of memory that haunts his long winter exile. It is not the pretty places – the flowery lanes of Grasmere or Derwentwater's wooded bays – that keep him restless in his bed; it is the magnificent ones. Places like Great End..."
