For this walk we went over to Edale and started on the Pennine Way, intending to get as far as Hollins Cross (at the very least - again we were constrained by how much light we would have left)...
Thought I'd take a photo of the church as we headed into the village, I forgot I'd left the camera set on artificial light...
It was wet when we arrived and set off... we can see here that a fair amount of rain is coming out of the hills...
And then, just as soon as it's stopped rainign it brightens up as we hit the Pennine Way...
And then it begins again, it was a very on/off kind of day with the rain...
Came across this bench as we went through a field...
Dave with the remnants of Mam Tor in the background as the Edale Valley is spread out behind him...
And of course, no photo would be complete without one of me too...
About two/three miles further on from the bench the weather again took a turn for the worst, we cant complain really... it is December...!!
And then it brightens up again as we approach the foot of Jacobs Ladder...
And here we are... At the bottom of Jacobs Ladder...
And the water course at the side of the ladder's bottom
Stopped and turned round as we were ascending, looking back over the Edale Valley...
At the top of Jacobs Ladder, Jack (Dave's spaniel) seems to have no trouble running up the hill....
And then as we reach the top, where the path splits to Hollins Cross we can go no further because the weather has definitely taken a turn for the worse with the wind and the horizontal rain. We decide to call it a day and head back to the car park...
And then as we descend Jacobs Ladder the weather changes again.. but by this time Dave has wet feet and it's no good walking with wet feet...
