A few pictures from our moorland walk on Sunday......hope you like them

Nearing the top...... :sweating:

Pausing a while near the top....

The summit...(well not quite, but it was oner of the higher points of Black Hill) :

At last...our destination point is in view...Chew Reservoir.....

Stopping for a brew (and yes there was a road up...for Waterboard vehicles only though :- " )

..the view on the way down...autumn hazes....

One very muddy Stanley..... :- "

.....and saving the best to last....Fred posing in the autumn dusky sunlight :wub:

..Fred getting bored with posing....

A lovely day spent walking with some beautiful autumn golds warming up the hills....and back home to open an open fire and some well earned tea!

The moors are lovely around here (these particular ones are very close to Gillian (Gilliwigs)). They are not all as inviting as they look though, as dogs have to be kept on short leads due to the sheep, birds (grouse etc) and hares :- " , and I can't count the times I sank upto my knees in peat bogs, or slid down peat hags Fred is that light he barely left a footprint in the peat and jumped nimbly about avoiding the worst of it. He's a seasoned bog hopper :wub: I was a bit worried about any damage we may have been causing too, as they seem to be doing a lot of work to replant heather on the tops, to stop the peat eroding. :unsure:

My OH loves walking the moors, and thinks a nighttime exercise/rescue (he's in mountain rescue) on these moorland tops is just the best thing since sliced bread :wacko:
