Morning on the tops

Friday 10th November 2023, 8.20am (day 4,460)

Long Causeway mist view, 10/11/23

Today didn’t quite work out as planned, but nor am I complaining. A glorious morning. The sheep seem quite contented about it, too.

On the Long Causeway

Sunday 29th October 2023, 1.35pm (day 4,448)

Long Causeway wind farm, 29/10/23

This statement will seem disagreeable to some but I actually quite like wind farms. The ones above the upper Calder Valley, as seen here from the Long Causeway road that links Hebden Bridge and Burnley across the moors, are not unattractive.

Dusk on the Long Causeway

Wednesday 13th November 2019, 4.20pm (day 3,002)

Long Causeway clouds, 13/11/19

The nights draw in. Driving to Burnley over the tops, well before 5 and it’s still getting dark already. November can have its flashes of excellence now and again (I remember this walk up Bowfell for example), but it’s mostly a depressing month, don’t you think?
