Burbage Edge, Padley Gorge + Higger Tor

Our April 5th walk took us past Owler Tor, Mother Cap and Over Owler Tor and onwards to Higger Tor where we started our walk back to the Longshaw Estate.

The KitKat rocks up on Higger Tor. The heather was amazing, the light was rubbish and the flying ants were on a rave!

A nice walk this morning with my daughters dog Winnie. Variable weather, almost everything; sun, rain, sleet and snow, just about the only constant was the stiff breeze. Having said that great to be out!

The aptly nicknamed kit-kat rocks on Higger Tor, looking down towards Carl Wark.

I had a nice amble about on the rocks as the mist cleared this morning.

Thought I better give this one an airing. Taken back in November of last year, an early morning on Carl Wark with Paul Newcombe, think i'm due another visit here soon.

The date and purpose of the construction the ramparts at Carl Wark is uncertain, it has been described as being "unlike any other structure found in Northern England."

 

It is widely postulated to be a hill fort of Iron Age origin, perhaps dating from the 8th to the 5th centuries BC...

A first sunrise at Higger Tor. Not an amazing sunrise but still quite nice. Missed some nice colour pre-dawn colours.

Wow! #5 in explore! That's a record for me... Thanks for all the comments and faves. I am rather fond of this shot - although I prefer this one, taken a little later from almost the same spot!

 

This was the sight that greeted me within minutes of getting up to Higger Tor...

 

Truly awe inspiring... This is looking South West - you can see Carl Wark, the iron age fort, through the gap in the rocks.
