Harbourough rocks 

Yesterday afternoon found me at Harbourough rocks over looking Carsington water, Great place for sunsets but it wasn't sun shinning when i got there ,the rain started , heavy wind, it was a hold on to your tripod days in fact it was blowing me about ,

The clouds looked great rolling in, this is what i like about the peak district 

 

Wind turbines you either love or hate them 

Trying to get out of the wind was a problem then the rain started 

 Carsington water in the distance 

great scenes to be seen from up here 

nice little monument to some one who loved it up here 

Trigg point 

Derbyshire and beyond 

Nice hour or so spent up there certainly blew the cob webs away 

  was wet through when i got back to the car not from the rain but sweat it was a warm day and i had wrapped up for the cold and wind up there 

    any way hope you enjoyed my afternoon out with me up there 

 so till next time take care
