03 August 2008

The last day of our weekend camping saw us at the other side of the valley, near to the Ladybower Reservoir...

Todays target was the summit of the 462m (1516ft) Win Hill... I had to do it on my own as Hazel sat in the picnic area sketching...


The path took me up steeply through the woods...


Scots Pine Tree crown...


Still heading upwards through the undergrowth...


Yup... still upwards...


Not quite at the top of Win Hill, looking out towards Bamford Edge over the woods I'd just hiked through...


It is a hard slog hiking up there, but the views alone are worth the effort! Looking out towards the Edale valley...

Sheep at the top of Win Hill Pike...


Looking out towards Whinstone Lee Tor...

The Edale Valley looking towards Kinder...


The Trig Point on the top of Win Hill Pike...


Looking over towards Winnats Pass and Castleton...

Which way to Win Hill?


Immature Scots Pine Cone spotted on my descent (as the next series of photos were)...
