Froggatt Edge keen to the wind

Walking back to the road I saw this stag watching me go.

Went deer-spotting on White Edge again. Couldn’t find any deer, but enjoyed the sunrise and autumn colours

Up Mickleden Beck to reach Cut Gate with views over Howden and Bleaklow moors

More pics from the long walk up Jacob’s Ladder. Stopping to take a photo is a good excuse for a rest.

Up Jacob’s Ladder, along to Kinder Downfall, and back down Crowden Clough. #KinderScout

Amazing scenes at Kinder Downfall #StormAmy in the #PeakDistrict

From a misty Sunday morning up on White Edge #PeakDistrict

A second Sunday searching for stags on White Edge. Bit misty early on, and the deer were shy compared to last weekend.

I’m not a wildlife photographer but I had a fun few hours stalking deer around White Edge on Sunday #PeakDistrict

It’s Autumn

Which is better - walking up or coming down?

It’s the rutting season for red deer in the Peak District. These are from White Edge this morning.

The path down Abbey Brook #PeakDistrict

Four more pics from the walk from Derwent Edge to Abby Brook and Lost Lad #PeakDistrict

Returning to Abbey Brook, the same stone in October 2020, December 2023, and yesterday

One of my favourite places in the Peak District - walking down the lovely Abbey Clough and back up to claggy Derwent Edge

A cracking walk up to Black Hill via Westend Moss and returning to Crowden along Laddow Rocks.

Urban Caving in the Rivers Porter and Sheaf. Visiting the MEGATRON under Sheffield Station www.sheafportertrust.org/guided-tours

Back in the Peak District. But still enjoying the Pennine Way such as this stretch from Kinder and Mill Hill

Third day on the Pennine Way - from Tan Hill to Middleton in Teesdale via lots of places. Nice walking, very hot again. Hoping to be back next year to finish the route.

From Hawes to the Tan Hill Inn via Great Shunner Fell, Thwait and Keld. It’s been….hot.

Picking up where we left off last year - walking the Pennine Way between Pen-y-gent and Hawes.

Who steals the goose from off the common
But leaves the greater villain loose
Who steals the common from the goose”.
