A walk over Cromptom Moor can be most rewarding. Frost still adorns this bench so we had better keep moving! Have a great day.

A view of the trig point on the highest hill on Crompton Moor. We see here the door and window on the side of this large trig point structure---- or do we? HBM, enjoy the week.

We think we know where we live and then suddenly we discover an area of beauty that we had no idea existed until a day or so back. That is the case for today’s winter walk in an area called ‘Crompton Moor’. Only a 20 minute drive from my door, it incorporates an old coal and sandstone quarry, wonderful paths though wooded and moorland scenery and a pleasant small reservoir. Here is the Pingot Quarry scene. I believe this is most spectacular after heavy rains but at the moment I am enjoying the iced grass cascades. Best at full screen. Enjoy the day.

The first time on this country park path and the views were un-expectantly good with this cold blue sky. The skyscrapers in the distance belong to the Lancashire town of Rochdale. PiP of waterfall within this Common. Enjoy the day.
