Marple to Glossop

30 Nov 19       Train to Marple then walked over Mellor Moor and Cown Edge to Glossop, then train
back to Manchester.  Mostly sunny but a bitterly cold wind on the tops.

At Marple railway station.

A very frosty morning in the Goyt Valley near Bottom's Bridge, Marple.
We are still in Greater Manchester here.

The mist covered Kinder Scout plateau in the Peak District, Derbyshire,
from Black Lane on Mellor Moor (we are still in Greater Manchester).

Restricted Byway sign - one more step and we are in Derbyshire.

The Kinder Scout plateau in the Peak District, from a track on Broadhurst Edge,
near New Mills, Derbyshire.  Kinder Scout almost cleared of low cloud, but not for long.

A farm track above Rowarth as the low cloud rolls in again on the high tops.

It was a good move to stay further west - the easterly wind kept the high tops covered in
low cloud all day which dispersed on the western side of the Pennines, leaving me in sunshine.
