Bleaklow

Second May Bank Holiday Weekend 2009

 

On the first day, we drove up to Glossop to tackle a 14km walk up to Bleaklow Head - one of the Peak District's most wild and remote summits.  It was a good walk but the boggy ground and heather made it hard going.

A dog twitching it's head at the vent from the kitchen.  Very funny to watch - especially on video.
