Castleton Snowdrops

Castleton Snowdrops

Hi all
slightly macabre, I don’t know, but it was so peaceful and beautiful at Castleton yesterday. The sun was out all day and as I walked past the church the Snowdrops looked like little light bulbs welcoming spring into the year, just had to take a shot.

Going back this weekend to do the Ridge Walk with JO and Stormy, weather permitting

Stormy Does Mam Tor

Adrian and Stormy Mam Tor

Had a wonderful day in The Peaks. We climbed Mam Tor ancient hill fort and the weather was glorious. Stormy pulled me all the way up, she is great at this and I wear a waist belt lead so it takes little effort on my part, unfortunately she pulls the same way down as well, can be a little scary at times!

Great views from clear skies all around and there were several guys setting up to go paragliding off the edge…..fools.

Anyway Stevie B got this great  shot of me and Stormy looking the part as intrepid photographer and 4 legged helper.  Steve gave her some chips at the pub in Castleton, but I abstained, good boy that I am, another 9 lb  to lose then its goal accomplished for this year.

Had a mooch around Castleton after and bumped into a guy from Hauntastic Events who gave us a great rundown on the hauntings and ghost hunting he does, very interesting guy, checkout his site HERE maybe worth a visit, they carry out paranormal investigations using the latest equipment and view the research from all possible angles before making judgements.

Back out later in the week into The Peaks again, weather permitting  and Stormy is up for it.

Shots to follow.
