I always take a country walk on New Year's Day and this year it was along the Macclesfield Canal from Marple before crossing the ridge and returning along the Peak Forest Canal. After a hard frost the canal was frozen and it snowed for the first part of the walk, just enough to lift the lighting without making everything just white. This view is looking back to Hawk Green from Windlehurst and features the Goyt Mill in the background along with frozen-in boats on the canal, and even red deer in the field below. A perfect day for a walk.

Went walking around the Derbyshire/Cheshire border today amidst snow and hail. Stood on Whaley Moor marvelling at the rapidly changing light conditions and then suddenly Kinder was lit up amidst the black skies.

Out and about with Eagle1942 today, we headed onto the moors. Turning around on Whaley Moor after looking at Kinder , the other side of the ridge revealed a view of the ridge from snow covered Sponds Hill across to Bowstones Farm. Best viewed large .

After all the recent sunny weather it was a disappointment to find today to be dull and misty. Undeterred I headed up Shutlingsloe with Eagle1942 and we found the summit to be entirely cloudbound. It was clearer when we headed back after a pint at the Crag and I was able to take this view of the brooding hill from the stile where the lower path heads off for Wildboarclough.
