This time last year - a short walk. Along the Penine Bridleway from Greenfield to Diggle. Then up and along Harrop Edge Lane - with some snow drifts - before dropping back down into Uppermill and back along the canal. #Walking #Landscape On the edge of the #PeakDistrict Don't ask which County!

19/11/2024 was also the first snow last year.
Up on Alphin on the edge of the #PeakDistrict before circling back round to Mossley and along the canal to Greenfield.
#Walking Strong wind last year, so windchill temperature felt like minus 10.

A little bit of time lapse as the roof of #Manchester Town Hall is revealed. I was beginning to forget what it looked like as it's all been under wraps for six years.

This time last year.
Walking inside a cloud on Grindslow Knoll. #Walking #PeakDistrict. The visibility got worse after this picture. (The second one is from early 2024 at the same spot looking towards Kinder).
