I was on my own that day for some reason ...
I walked along an icy and slippery Baulk Lane towards Brookfield Manor, Hathersage Church on the hillside behind me ...
Sheep were scratching around in the snow, looking for the odd tussock of grass ...
After passing Brookfield Manor, I crossed the road with Bronte Cottage to my right and walked up the field to enter The Warren ...
In the Warren there's a newish handmade footbridge ...
There's more about the bridge here ... http://www.peakdistrict.gov.uk/index/news/news-display-page.htm?id=17861
Once I'd got past Green's House and walked up the side of the plantation at Dennis Knoll, I turned round as the sun was just starting to catch some of the landscape behind me ...
I zoomed into the middle distance of the photograph above. The next photo shows Carhead Rocks and Cattis-side Moor ...
After zooming in a little more the next photo shows a closer view of Carhead Rocks on Cattis-side Moor ~ neither of them are names I use but they are shown on the Dark Peak OS Map ...
Perhaps it was the cold or the snow ... whatever it was, there weren't many walkers about. I climbed up Long Causeway towards Stanage Edge. By now the sun was more visible as I looked across the valley towards the mast on Shatton Moor ...
At the top of Long Causeway there was a great view north-west along Stanage Edge.
It was so good to see so much snow I went a bit trigger happy ...
One too many photos of Stanage Edge perhaps ...
I descended through Stanage Plantation and then followed the path through the wood towards North Lees Hall ...
I stopped for a coffee leaning against the gate at the edge of the plantation, admiring the view towards North Lees Hall [in the trees ahead] ...
A couple of other walkers passed me as I stood there ...
Then I reached North Lees Hall which looks better in winter than at any other time of the year ...
... though from the lower side it didn't look quite such a wintry scene.
Continuing down the path from North Lees Hall I passed to the left of Cowclose. After a field or two there's a great view of Hathersage Church ...
At the edge of the churchyard one of the yew trees was nicely backlit by the sun ...
Date of walk ~ 26th December 2009
Length of walk ~ 5 3/4 miles
Total since 1st September 2009 ~ 108 1/4 miles
