Well, there have been a few brief outings since the last post, which I'm glad about, but there hasn't seemed to be any time to write about them, which is a shame. Still working on it...
Today, what might have seemed like a rather dull out and back walk from Pym Chair to Shining Tor turned out to be more interesting than it seemed on paper. I don't know what the wind speed was but it certainly felt very gusty.
The cloud level was only just above the path, hanging ominously and threatening heavy rain at any moment, and the outlook and light were changing almost constantly..
One moment it looked like this - almost nothing visible in the distance...
The next, the surrounding hills had reappeared, with views north towards Kinder Plateau and the start of the Pennine Way - happy memories! Although I began that walk in June, snow fell on the first day...
As it was about an hour before sunset, the sun shone almost horizontally across the fields in the valley, lighting them beautifully.
Fortunately very little rain actually fell and my usual stocks of fleecy hats, cowls and gloves kept most of the chill out, reminding me to take plenty of them to the Lake District next week.
