Catching Up

Well a hectic week meant that I didn’t get a chance to get the photos from last weekend on the blog, so here they are.

The two above are taken from Dicconson Lane.  Just as I’m leaving to drive over to Rivi, the sun rises and gives a nice silhouette of the farms.  Promising to be a good day.

But getting to the Lower Barn there was quite a lot of mist about and this continued on and off for the whole of the morning.

It was a good turnout, but not many stuck it out to the end, due to injuries, poorliness and more important things to do!  Above is our Ed’s latest recruit, named I believe by Matt as That Young Chap, henceforth to be known as TYC.  He’s way too fast and strong to be running with our squad, especially as he has BG aspirations, but we’ll soon pass him on to FSS!

We followed posts from Shaley Dingle, which we though might have been put in as markers for the gamebird management and spotted this stone with four dates engraved.  EtU has made some enquiries, drawn a blank.   Anyone shed any light?  If Jake of Winter Hill reads this he and his dad might know something as they are immensely knowledgeable about our local moors.

Following the posts from the bridge shown above, the stone is two or three hundred yards on the right hand side if you wish to take a look.

As we climbed back up to Counting Hill, Belmont was bathed a a shaft of sunlight – very dramatic effect in the gloom.

Late Saturday afternoon we took a stroll up on to Harrock Hill to see the sun set.  Below is a snap looking back to Winter Hill, you can just make out the mast, but the camera was struggling in the diminishing light.  More of Harrock Hill sunset here.
