Shutlingsloe from Cats Tor

Today was bright and cold with a skittering of snow on the hills where the ground was frozen quite hard - a great day for walking. Eagle1942 accompanied me on a circular walk from Pym Chair through the valley of the Todd Brook past Thursbitch, and then up to Shining Tor, highest point in Cheshire. Lunch was taken at the Cat and Fiddle before returning along the ridge from Shining Tor past Oldgate Nick. The lowering afternoon sunlight bathed the countryside for miles around in a golden glow, and this shot was taken looking back southwards to Shutlingsloe and Macclesfield Forest. It was so peaceful up there on the moors with just the chackle of the grouse to be heard.
