Ice Cubes

A very cold and memorable February morning on Burbage Edge in some fine company, Paul Newcombe, Martin Levers and Steve Price. The temperature was 7 degrees below zero and everything was coated in a thin layer of ice, which was the product of freezing rain the night before. Whilst the Peak District is host to some extreme weather, conditions such as these are rare and fairly unique.

 

Over Owler Tor can be seen in the distance and the tiny blip on the horizon next to it is the gritstone outcrop, Mother Cap. Just below and to the right is Carl Wark, a rocky promontory on Hathersage moor and an iron age hill fort. The flanks of Higger Tor can just be made out to the far right of the frame.
