gps Baslow Edge

for a slideshow of the countryside

We intended to visit Curbar Edge stopping for a barn along the way. Once at Curbar we thought Baslow Edge more appealing. It was very cold indeed and we wore all our pullovers and gloves.	Barn by Clodhall Lane	Dull day	Curbar Edge more promising
From Baslow Edge	The light kept changing	Baslow Edge	Maybe there were Highland cattle about
Below the Edge	Dry stone wall snaking across the moor	Windswept trees	Fungus
Moor from above	Highland Cow	Wonderful sky	Lichen
More Edge	PJ looking cold	Face on the cliff	Baslow Edge
Baslow Edge	Highland cattle	Light in the grasses	Golden tree
Blaeberries and probably lots of alternate names	Vaccinium vitis idea flower and fruit	Highland cattle	We left as the light was going
