Bleaklow

Just a couple of photos from Thursdays run on bleaklow. Saw two hare's still white from winter, another awesome evening.

Looking down from doctors gate.

Near yellowslacks somewhere.

Downfall Run

Nice run round the Western Edge of Kinder on Tuesday night, took loads of photos! I think picasa is going to let me upload more than four (it's previous limit) too so here goes..


Mr toad is warty

Future sunday roasts looking healthy

The downfall, hardly any water, and noone else (never see marauding sheep up here in the evening, they must know when rambler lunch time is)

View east

Running into the sun at this point, blinding!

Kinder resevoir and some gritstone

The stream on the opposite hillside is where we joined the edge.

So nice we went round to the top of william clough rather than the usual sandy heys descent

Maybe i have added too many photos, here is an orange hill

The sun setting and some planes going about their business

Tuesday

Some photo's of Tuesday evenings run...

Alex running up the steep part on the way up Mt Famine.

Sun peeking out below the clouds.

Another stunning evening. I've got used to the nice weather now and will be very grumpy when it starts raining again.

 

Rushup Edge Run

Got out today with Alex, Steve and Gill for a stunning run along the south ridge of the Edale valley. Wore my nice new shoes which wore a nice new hole in my foot. Curse you fell running trainers, why do you hurt me so?


The nice grassy ascent from the nation trusts "Basecamp", not sure what they do there.

Now I think these flattened bits of grass are made by lazy sheep. Is this reasonable?

The ridge, including Mam Tor, Back Tor and Lose hill, plus Hope cement factory - which i think looks like a bit like a white castle.

View from Lose Hill back along the ridge, all downhill to the pub from here!

Evening run

Finally recharged the batteries in my camera! Here are some photo's from an evening run a few weeks ago. Clocks go back next week so post work runs should be a bit lighter.



Mt Famine and South Head

A car with one headlight out? Or a Fellrunner?
