When out walking weather wise you have bad days and you have good days then there is exceptional days with really good clarity. Today was one of them days.
Firstly I would like to thank Mike for organising this walk. and I would like to thank Mike, Yomper, Robby, Jim , Ray and steve for the good company and making this a really good day out.



Ladybower Reservoir 7.45am. How blue is that water



Jim, Mike, Robby, Steve, Ray and Yomper ready for the off



After a short ascent out of the valley the views started to unfold towards Kinder Scout



Posing for the camera again with Kinder Scout in the background.



This time with me in shot. ( Robby this was the only one of me that came out  :( )



Looking towards Kinder Scout again.



First view towards Alport Castles.



some serious camera taking at Alport Castles.



Alport Castles. At this point some members wanted a rest so with energy to burn Me, mike, Robby and Ray dropped down the valley and did a excellent scamble to the top.



Robby at the top of Alport Castles doing the Angel of the north.



From Alport Castles we dropped back down to Derwent Reservoir.



If only Derwent Reservoir could be like this all the time.



The group taking in the glorious views.



When im behind a camera no one safe.



A classic shot of Derwent Dam.



Ladybower Reservoir.



Looking towards Derwent Edge.



Final shot of Ladybower Reservoir.

We had to cut the walk short slightly but hey when out in the hills when its this good who cares.
After the walk we all retired to the Ladybower inn for a well earned pint.
So thanks guys a really good day had by all and hope to do it again soon

Mark
