Parys Mountain, Anglesey, North Wales. #Photography #Landscape #Walking Feels like walking on Mars.

Multi-cloured rocky ex-coppermine. Reds, oranges, and greys make it look and feel like another planet.

Red, orange, and yellow rocky ex-copper mine. With former windmill standing on the skyline.

Peterloo Massacre happened on this day 1819, est 15-18 people killed. Came during turbulent period of explosive population growth, food shortages caused by climatic disruption after a volcano erupted in Indonesia, aftermath of war, stresses of urbanisation and industrialisation.

The view from and the view of the Kirkstone Pass Inn today. #Walking #LakeDistrict It's been there since 1496, so I guess it's seen this and a lot worse. (It was also a pleasant change!)

This is just a reminder for people in most of the UK. This is what grass should look like (courtesy of Glenridding #LakeDistrict).

Green lawn under shade of two trees, branching overhead, looking towards the shore of Ullswater mere in the distance.

Glenridding to Birkhouse Moor, on to Red Tarn with a view of Helvellyn. It was pretty hot on the way back today. #LakeDistrict #Walking #Landscape.

View from the cairn atop Birkhouse Moor. Looking down onto the full length of Ullswater mere below.

Rocky shore of Red Tarn, across clear water to the rocky outline of Helvellyn. Some light wispy white cloud is forming over the top of the peak, with the warm air coming over from the south.

#LakeDistrict congestion. Zoom in to see the queue on Striding Edge - waiting for their turn to move forward towards #Helvellyn. #Walking #Landscape.

View from open countryside towards Striding Edge (a narrow ridge approach to Helvellyn, on the left of the picture).
On top of the ridge, a number of people stand in a queue waiting their turn to move forward.

Just a peaceful day in the Yorkshire Dales, where I’m the happiest🥰🐑 #WallsOnWednesday #YorkshireDales #Yorkshire

A peaceful landscape in the Yorkshire Dales, with several sheep resting beside a traditional dry stone wall on a lush green hill. A few trees and a barn on the other side. A bright blue sky dotted with soft, scattered white

🎞️ Courtesy of Peak District Moorland Group. Welcome rain has helped wet the fire area, but hundreds of deep peat ignitions remain 4 weeks after the blaze reached RSPB Crowden/Arnfield moor. The goal now: extinguish the burning peat before the next heatwave causes flare-ups.

High Peaks by Tom Chesshyre. A 363 mile walk around the #PeakDistrict. This is a travelogue, not a walking book. An enjoyable, easy read, informative, and gently funny. I really liked it. Though much of the narrative (and walking) is outside of the National Park, it adds context. #BookSky #Books 💙📚

My next read. Wild Peaks by Tom Chesshyre. A 363-mile ramble through the #PeakDistrict (and some diversions outside it). Timed for the 75th anniversary of the first UK National Park. #BookSky #Books 💙📚 #Walking

Some clouds from last week (not like today's blanket grey) #Walking #PeakDistrict A lovely round walk from #Glossop Up Doctors Gate, onto Higher Shelf Stones, Lower Shelf Stones, and back down via James's Thorn. (I think three plane crash sites near by).
