Bleakedgate & Moss Moor yesterday #hiking

I’m happy to be sat here on a Friday afternoon, rather than in the office #Snailsden

Gensac est tres jolie

First visit to Torr Top and The Millennium Way. Did not disappoint

Walked up onto Rishworth Moor today. Heartbreaking to see the devastation of the fire from a few weeks ago. But, new growth already.

Shutlingsloe and Wildboarclough yesterday

Crikey, that last scene in #ThisCityIsOurs!

Is it too early for a G & T? Asking for a friend 🤔

@bluemoonpodcast.com I’m away for the live event but would like to donate to the food-bank. Shall I just by a ticket?

Don’t you just love these cool evenings, when it’s been warm all day, to go for a walk and just enjoy being outside.

Post semi-final walk from Holme around Digley. Had the place to myself for 3/4s of the way round. Lovely

Morton Wood. Had it to myself

Around Langsett and Midhope yesterday.

Tonight, April’s full moon, the Pink Moon, rises. 🌕🌸 Named by northern Native American tribes for the blooming of pink spring flowers. The Celts called it the Budding or Seed Moon, while Anglo-Saxons knew it as the Egg Moon, marking the stirrings of new life. Moonrise: 21:11

A chilly start, warm-ish sunshine and great views of the Hope Valley. Glorious #hiking #Kinder #Edale #getoutdoors

Lunch at Crookstone Knoll

If you know anyone planning to get their child live rabbits for Easter, please talk them out of it. Tell them to get a stuffed toy and sponsor a rescue bunny instead! 🐇 www.merrymacfarmsanctuary.org/meet-the-bun...

Recce from Wooldale up to Ox Lee and back via Hepworth. A couple of buzzards above Scholes

Thank you to John and Doreen for the use of their bench for my lunch #Hepworth

At the Five Trigs race yesterday we raffled off an A2 print of my Spine photo to raise money for Oldham MRT. We raised £400 from raffle sales, and in total they received a cheque from the race director for £1100. A great day all round. 🥰

For those of you who follow me on Twitter, I’m in the process of closing my account. I’ll be using this platform more.

Howard Park, Glossop.

Wednesday walking. I’m now on a four day week, so I’ll be out walking with my Ramblers group. Hartshead Pike, Ashton-Under-Lyne.

Four day week, baby. I’m off out walking

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

Severe case of ‘bed head’!

Short weekend in Poole to collect my new car. Stopped off at Winchester in the way home.

Playing in the last of the good snow, last Saturday. Gorgeous. #HolmeValley #PeakDistrict

Dunstanburgh Castle & Coast. Gorgeous winter’s day 🥶🌤️

Set off, with trepidation, towards Lyme Park this morning to lead a walk. Apart from a brief shower and a blustery patch near the cage, we avoided any of Storm Darragh. The weather set in as we were in the pub! Lyme Park was closed so we virtually had it to ourselves. Quite eerie.

Cracking ladder stile at Lyme Park @lakesstiles.bsky.social #GMRingway

Super weekend of walking, only 7 and 6 miles, but stunning views #Dovestone #Lyme #PeakDistrict

Calm & frosty today. Looks like the end of this cold spell as it's forecast to warm up overnight. #cairngorms #winter #frost

Wow!

The weather the last time I was on Lantern Pike. A bit different from last week 🤣 @geoffcrowther.bsky.social @chrissiepebbles.bsky.social

Dibbly’s ashes are now home. I also got this bottle of his fur, which did for me when I opened the box 🥺 Dibs was a belter and I’ll miss him 🐾

Nice crescent moon. Got no power at home so enjoying the view.

Female Blackbird and cyclamen. 😍 Taken this week through my cat-flap! 😁 #Birds 🐦🪶

Breakfast time for this little deer on Holme Fell #lakedistrict #photography

Word of the day is ‘librocubicularist’: one who loves nothing better than reading in bed. (Not easy to say, but I’m glad to know it exists).

Oof! @chadweather.bsky.social #StormBert

Happy #fingerpostfriday (technically)

'Under the mountain' by Sarah Ross Thompson, contemporary UK printmaker

The power of snow to transform the everyday into magical, to sparkle every tree and hedgerow with its own light, never fails to amaze me. The little cottage at the end of the lane became a scene from a fairytale yesterday. #peakdistrict

Wolfstones Height from my bedroom window. Gorgeous.

If you know me from the “other place” please do reply to this post and let me know who you are so I can follow you back. I’d love to keep in touch with as many people as possible, but I’m getting a bit confused as to who’s who on here. I’d also be grateful if you would share this message for me!
