It had been such a good week, weather wise, and it seemed right to get out again for another long walk. This one allowed for some new tops for me as well as an old favourite. Unfortunately the weather, whilst dry, was absolutely bitter and a reminder that spring isn’t quite here yet!! I’d also forgotten my spare camera battery and I ran out of juice on White Tor, meaning the planned pictures of Setters Rocks and Stephen’s Grave could not be taken! A revisit needed, maybe Easter weekend!
