with the low cloud and snow I took the photo's on "snow" setting but they still came out dark

so have had to lighten in photo software

it's like being at a sculpture park

I bet full moon would be "spooky"

found a spot out of the wind with a seat and table for dinner

With the eye of faith ted looks like he's manning a gun emplacement on the 7th pic!
Great pics and much as it pains me to say so, I do believe it really is God's Country!

South east Scotland.
Great pics as usual Danny that rock in the second pic down is looking rather precarious,cant believe you still have snow,today weve had a mix of sunny/frosty,seen no snow since the start of January,although think some's forecast for further north this evening.Mmmm steak and onions arrghhh drool (homer style) think next time i camp i will take some fresh instead of the usual boil in bag.

This was when I spotted the likely spot for dinner

and nearer before it turned into Teddys Bistro

exploring along the escarpment I came across this old track

I wonder whether who ever did this was after the block or to make the hole ?

Or maybe just to upset :pokenest: the Gritstone mafia
