Went up Bleaklow via Doctors Gate today, felt very bitter in the easterly wind and there was a bit of snain (or snizzle) on top.
We visited the WW2 crash site of a B-29 Strato(?)fortress up on Higher Shelf Moor. Loads of wreckage scattered around, really eerie in the mist. Lots of memorial crosses and wreaths around the place too. Kind of expected to see a lost aircrewman emerge from the mist.

There is much more wreckage than just pictured here.
After that it was a really nice run back to the car and ultimately the Lantern Pike pub, where a nice pint of landlord was available for consumption.
