Higger Tor, Peak District, UK
Posted mainly so you can see how things are looking. I was hoping for a bit of light. But it didn't happen.
A Storm passes over Higger Tor in the Peak District one November afternoon 2012.
A 2 minute exposure using the Lee "Big Stopper" I was able to capture the movement in the clouds rather nicely.

Advenures in Ouzeling - Higger Tor 07052021 - they seemed to be paying attention to something lower down in the grassy area
After shooting the frozen puddles I moved round to catch the sun rising over Carl Wark and the side lit lightly frosted rocks on Higger Tor (1/6s f8 @ 12mm 0.9 reverse ND grad)

taken on Wednesday evening shortly after arriving at Carl Wark as the cloud started to build, I wonder if the view has changed that much from when this place was an iron age fort 2500 years ago. (1/40 f7.1 @ 12mm 0.9 reverse ND grad filter)

A magnificent day for a strenuous walk starting at Longshaw Lodge with some friends of mine up from Milton Keynes for the day.
Down Padley gorge to Grindleford station, then past Padley Chapel and Greenwood Farm to reach the A6187 overlooking Hathersage. Through 'Whim Plantation' and up the west side of the hill to reach Over Owler Tor.
With encouragement I found the energy to reach and climb up Higger Tor, then back to the start via Carl Wark and Burbage Bridge.
11.2km and 416 metres of ascent/descent according to the 'Viewranger' app running on my Huawei P10 lite, which has an excellent GPS receiver.
Sadly coming back that way misses out on the ice cream van at Surprise View car park. (Which I could have made use of!)
These are my walking companions on Over Owler Tor.
A short walk from the Longshaw Lodge car park in the Gritstone part of the Peak District.
South from the car park then through a wooded section down towards Grindleford station.
From there, up through Yarncliff wood overlooking Padley Gorge, and following the path, crossing the Burbage Brook and continuing up the western side. At the top of the gorge a path back to the lodge car park is on the other side of the road.
I had intended a longer walk to include the ascent of Carl Wark hill fort, but the increasing air temperature made me take the shorter option. I'll try to do the longer walk when the heather is out. (Maybe even include Higger Tor if I have the energy).
This is a shot of Carl Wark taken from Higger Tor.
Carl Wark is an escarpment hill fort, using natural sheer cliffs on three sides to provide an easily defended position. It has an elevation of 1250ft and an area of 0.9 Hectares.
This is a hill fort of unproven origin, best thought to be Iron or Dark age in date. Bronze age artifacts are also close by and show a long general occupation of the area.
The image was captured using a Nikon D90 and 55-200mm lens
Taken with my latest ebay purchase an immaculate near 50 year old Olympus Pen EE S half-frame camera. Agfaphoto Vista film.
A panorama shot of Higger Tor taken from Carl Wark, Peak District, Derbyshire, UK.
The image was processed in Photoshop CS5 to emulate the effect you would get from a polaroid transfer (not that you could ever do a panorama with a polaroid camera).
Shot with a Nikon D90 and Tokina ATX Pro 20-35mm, f2.8 lens.

This is the view through a rock window on Higger Tor, over Carl Wark, with Longshaw Lodge in the haze in the distance.
I knew that Carl Wark had one of the earliest original dry-stone walls in England, but I wasn't prepared for the cyclopean nature of it!
Saturday morning up on Higger Tor.
Lovely conditions and pre dawn colour. Couldn't believe I was the only one there!!
A composition I like as I find Higger Tor quite difficult to photograph

Bamford Edge Hike Conclusion:
I've learnt over time that even if it looks like sunset is going to be clouded out, there's a good chance that a gap can open up just at the right time and provide something stunning.
This is exactly what happened this evening and therefore I set up this composition ready to catch the side light I banked on happening, as it streamed through a gap on the horizon and brought the whole of Higger Tor and Burbage to life.
It's moments like these that make me realise how much more in tune with nature I have become since getting into photography. I'd never have been able to anticipate events like these in the past but time, careful observation and patience have allowed me to get to that point.
A fantastic end to a day's hiking.
One of the best sunrises I've seen - made better by the snow making it difficult for a lot of people to get here, as would usually be the case on a Saturday morning.
