Bleaklow Fell at sunset, from Mill Hill summit.

The Kinder Scout plateau, from Mill Hill.   I lingered on Mill Hill to watch
the sunset, which meant the last hour of the descent was 'interesting' - by
torchlight on icy paths.  I only landed on my backside once but that was
on a muddy bit so I had a relatively soft (but messy) landing.
