8 years ago today, my final walk on #OrtonScar prior to leaving the area, after 8 glorious years. Wonderful limestone country with the backdrop of the Howgill fells. Now in the extended Yorkshire Dales National Park. #Orton 💚 #WestmorlandDales

#thicktrunktuesday A magnificent 'Conker Tree'at #Upperthong, noble enough to support a fence and a footpath sign 👀 without loss of dignity🙂 #Holmfirth #HolmeValley #December2021

More sundown pics from the little hill above home. The circle effect in pic 2 is not due to editing but down to the way the sun's rays hit my mobile phone camera's lense. #HolmeValley #September2022

More dramatic sundown cloudage. @lakedistrictnpa.bsky.social #September2017

@support.bsky.team I've been asked to verify my age by BluSky so that I can read 'Chats'(Direct Messages) I've tried the facial scan, doesn't work, and I'm not giving them my full credit card details I'm 80 in December 🙄 SO DON'T CHAT OR DM ME ON BLUE-SKY 'COS I SHAN'T BE ABLE TO READ IT Blue sky👇

I'm reposting this individual zoom pic of the sun setting on the saddle between West Nab and Shooter's Nab because I love 'Lenticular' clouds 👌 and there's loads of them in the pic😀 #GoldenHour #HolmeValley #September2022 @peakdistrict.bsky.social

More #HolmeValley💚 sky action, on one of the hillsides above home, with the added bonus of Lenticular clouds👌 #September2022 #GoldenHour

Different days at Wolfstones featuring the Diamond Jubilee trig and 'Wee Alfie's Shrine'😢(enlarge pic 3 for details). A beautiful place and viewpoint. #WolfstoneHeights 💚 #Holmfirth #HolmeValley #Grandson

On last week's theme of 'Emley Moor' TV Tower. Coincidentally, 3 years ago today, the tower illuminated by a light spectrum.🌈🏳️‍🌈 As seen from Cook's Study #HolmeValley

Impressive cloudage on the southern edge of the #HolmeValley September 2 years ago. #Memories 🙂 @peakdistrict.bsky.social

A past autumnal #HolmeValley inversion as seen from Kaye Edge, Holme Moss, Black Hill. 1) Castle Hill floating on a island of fog. 2) A distant Emley Moor Tower poking out of the clag. @peakdistrict.bsky.social

A gloriously atmospheric "Golden Hour" on Barrow, September, 8 years ago. #ColedaleFells @lakedistrictnpa.bsky.social

Local landmark, standing proud, simplicity, pleasing to the eye. Can be seen, in parts, from 40 miles away. At over 1,000 feet, the tallest free standing structure in the UK. Like a mountain, it seems to have its own microclimate. #EmleyMoor #WestYorks

#NewsFash Due to my current condition, having lost over a stone and a half, I've invested in several pairs of 'snazzy' braces in order to keep my breechers up🙄😬 Cheaper than buying new breechers. #Yorksha int"it 😃😇

There's a place near the western end of the busy Langsett reservoir that few visit. After a day on the moors of the Upper Derwent, it's like arriving at an oasis.The contrast with the bleak moors could not be greater. The valley of the Little Don River 👌 @peakdistrict.bsky.social #SpecialPlaces 😊

Whatever happened to 'Quiet News Days'🤔 #Memories #BrokenBritain #PostTruthUSA #EskdalePic 👌anon

Today has been the most trying day. #Pain 🥺 But Ducks cheer me up 😀 #IngbirchworthReservoit #SYorks

It's just started 'pleuving' it down here. Good for neighbour's garden, which I overlook😊 'The rain in main, falls mostly down the rain'....

Views in and around the eastern end of #WestmorlandBorrowdale👌 Now part of the extended @lakedistrictnpa.bsky.social Unspoilt, often you'll have the dale to yourself. #September2016 #HappyDays 🙂

Water Spout, seen from Green Bell, Howgill fells, summer 2017. #YorkshireDalesNP My local fells for 8 years. If the Lakes are heaving at busy times, why not give the #Howgills a go, best done from the northern side.

More scary (not) 'Storm names'👀 for the coming season. I see Genghis, Barbarossa and Atilla have missed out again🙄. What next, Bambi🤔🤣

Autumn colours around home, November 2021, looking at the current state of the trees around here at the moment, it could well look like this in October this year. New England, eat your heart out. #HolmeValleyTrees 💚👌

It's 4 months today to Chrismas Day 🙄🤪 #WessendenWinter @peakdistrict.bsky.social

In the valley of the Rawthey, archetypal English countryside 👌 Flanked by Wild Boar Fell to the east and the Howgills to the west #YorkshireDalesNP #August2016

Today's Bank Holiday weekend exertions. #SitClub at the Old Bridge Hotel #Holmfirth with grandson. The rectangular thing at the bottom of pic 1, is my Darko medical sandal.

Tibetan Buddhist Monastery. No need to go to Lhasa. Eskdalemuir, Southern Scotland. Open to the public, retreats available. Well worth a visit. August 2014.

11 years ago today, ascent from Irton Pike to walk above the Wastwater Screes, imo one of the best couple of miles in the @lakedistrictnpa.bsky.social Pic one, possibly the birth of #SitClub🥾🥾😀

No words needed, above home, summer 2018. #HolmeValley

10 years ago, a scorcher of a day. Keld to Muker via the high level route. Return alongside the river. #Swaledale #YorkshireDales

After a wet afternoon, clag slowly clears off the Howgill Fells. Viewed from near Orton 💚, Cumbria. #Summer2017

@nuddypants.bsky.social just called to do my podiatry, she'll be running in Snowdonia this weekend, including over Crib Goch😬 Pics of a memorable, atmospheric day, New Year 2009, a linear walk from Pen y Pas, over Crib Goch(Pic1) Pics 2 and 3, inversions Lliwedd and Snowdon. Pic 4 to Llanberis.

Views on the ascent of Brock Crags from Hartsop. 1) Angle Tarn from Brock Crags 2) Angletarn Pikes. 3) Deer en route. 4) Looking up the quiet valley towards Threshthwaite Mouth. @lakedistrictnpa.bsky.social #Summer2017 #Memories 😆

Cheap sheep dye, no good when it's rainy 😁

A super round of Wild Boar fell and Swarth Fell, summer 2017. Wild Boar is my favourite of the Yorkshire Dales fells, even though the bulk of it is in Cumbria. #Memories 😀

On this, the anniversary week of the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, you'd be hard pushed from the aerial footage to tell the difference between there and current day Gaza.

Some of you may remember Andy Leader @ MadeInHolmfirth ,quit twitter a while back I've been in touch with him, sadly he's suffering from ME and following covid he has little energy so his walking days appear to be over. He's still getting about in his camper van but has to use a wheelchair often.😔

Something that's "much sought after" doesn't need to be advertised. #RandomThought

Mayday 2015, descending from Place Fell. 1) Looking west over Grisedale to a snow capped Helvellyn range. 2) Zooming in onto Helvellyn. 3) South to Brotherswater and the Kirkstone Pass. 4) Zooming over to St Sunday Crag. @lakedistrictnpa.bsky.social 💚May, 4 seasons in 1.

Summer, 10 years ago, a high level walk above the 'Devil's Beeftub' over to Hart Fell. Big empty country, didn't see a soul. #MoffatHills 👌 #Dumfrieshire

Gulag Greetings from the Holme Valley. My 2 windows on the world👇👇 #SirCrazy 😵‍💫 Keep your outdoors pics pics coming folks, they're keeping me sane🤪 Past pics to follow 😊

Granddaughter's Japan school visit to a S Korean school as part of a debating competition at the moment. All the kids in traditional dress. Koreans on the left, Japanese including granddaughter on the right. We got the odd trip to the E coast and often the 'Charabanc" would break down 🙄
