noe stool

we decided to to head out on the hills on Boxing Day and went for a walk on Kinder Scout in the Peak District. It was a grey and windy day, but ever the optimists we headed out onto the peat. A very windy ascent of Jacobs Ladder was followed by an unexpected break in the weather when we reached the summit plateau. The sun broke through for about an hour and light was just amazing....

 

This southern edge of Kinder Scout is shaped by the effects of the harsh weather and altitude, being dotted with distinctive rocky tor formations. This is a side view of the Noe Stool withthe Pagoda and the Pym Chair in the background.
