Tom Ghyll flows from Tarn Hows and drops some 600 feet to the valley below. It's a fabulous (if in places slippy) descent with the sound of thundering waterfalls the whole way down.
Ex Stephensons Volvo Olympian M408 RVU now with Galloway gets plenty of layover time between school runs..
Careful, seaweed, slippy when wet! Rather wet and dismal day walking along the beach at Beadnell Bay but worth it for the variety of sea and shore birds alone.
This is just to the west of the Cromarty bridge on the south side of the firth. The warmest day we've had for weeks but very grey and overcast however there was a thin strip of light way over in the west that added some interest in the sky. These rock formations were fascinating and given a good sunset would make some great shots...but very slippy. The beach is relatively untouched and covered with the remains of massive oyster shells.
If you plan to go there, prepare for high wind and splashing ocean waters. It gets really dangerous.

Sometimes when you walk very inside the island, in places that are far
away from the coast, you can find a dry small fish on the ground; if you
look to the sky, may be you would see the offender with slippy claws.
See the big pole, see it rise
Feel its hardness, measure it's size
Caress with your fingers, taste with your tongue
Examine its length, Its so very long
Climb on it, feel it between your soft thighs
Ride its hardness, until joy fills your eyes
Its wet and slippy, you hang on tight
You are excited, impaled on its height
Ignore the warnings, that say beware
Feel it throbbing, on your skin very bare
Faster , faster, you climb and you slide
Until you explode, you feel the vibrations inside
As you cling tightly, to the pole, high above
Being recharged by the power of love
I know many people had LOADS more snow than this, but I had to make do with what was local and I knew if I wanted any pics, I'd have to drive to the snow, and once I'd got this far, it seemed pointless to turn and go back. There were a few hills I came upon where I'd wished I drove a 4 x 4 LOL
Hence the title..... as most people think I'm a little bit "round the bend" when it comes to snow ;-)
I should point out that my Mum had to get coming along, she tried to tell people it was to keep an eye on me, but I know she just loves the snow too hehehehehe

A lovely early morning bike ride with a bit of moisture in the air settling on the bike frame.
My commuting bike definitely isn't built for bumpy off road tracks littered with roots and slippy mud! My Mountain Bike frame snapped just over a year ago. I've been meaning to get a new one and rebuild it but not got round to it yet.
Bit slippy here in Sheffield today!
More to come I think...?
But not as bad as some places around the UK..!
I work for Yorkshire Ambulance Service on the RRVs in and around the city of Sheffield in South Yorkshire.
It’s a great job and I feel very honoured to be able to help people at their point of need.
Check out the website for all sorts of info re YAS and the work we do.
At my age, I describe myself as being built for comfort and not for speed. I've missed my chance to be a circus acrobat and jumping out of planes is no longer an option unless someone can provide a parachute normally reserved for dropping military vehicles! But still, I can move pretty damned fast for my age and visiting dark and rocky locations is what I love best.
However......
We decided at the last minute to visit a compact tunnel underneath a disused railway line in the middle of Derbyshire. They say you forget bad experiences and I clearly must have forgotten how slippy this tunnel was.
We made our way along the track to the tunnel and the horrific memories of previous slips, trips and fall came flooding back to me. I intrepidly stepped my way forward in to the entrance of the tunnel and I said out aloud to @inksurgeon, "mmm this feels slippier than last time" Almost as soon as I said that I fell over backwards on the slippiest moss covered stone, flat on my ass! Bang!
As I landed I heard something crack in my back. Oh f***k I thought, I've broken something! I sat for a few seconds and realised I was OK apart from a bruised ego and pulled muscles everywhere!
Being British we had a good laugh about being a clumsy f**ker and gathered myself together and spent the evening cold with damp and soggy clothes!
Slippy little buggers to catch in flight :)
They travel at warp speed...!!!
I missed more than I caught...

Hanging around in the rain wiaitng to capture a shot of the lower falls was great fun, seriously, loved it. Climbing down some rock face and slippy smooth stone not so much! Worth it in the end.
We almost walked away as typically of our luck the weather was great enjoying scrambled eggs and sausages in Hawes as soon as we set off for Aysgarth the cliuds decided to fill in and start tipping down, we got a small window and both Mandy & I took it as fast as possible avoiding some of the slippiest stones on the rivers edge I've ever set foot on!
Taken end of October on an early alarm call type of day 04:30.
Started with a sunrise stop here at Winnats Pass in The Peak District and watched an amazing sunrise.
Thankfully we arrived at the location approx 50 mins before sunrise as the bimble up to the view point was muddy and slippy

Paddy not so strutting his stuff on the boardwalk which crossed a large wet raised peatbog. Great fun was ensuing as this was about a kilometer long with lots of twists and turns, usually because there was a bigger wet bit at each corner location. Anyway as you see it was raining which made for an incredibly slippy surface which is where the fun came in. Giving the heather stalk to Paddy, and thus becoming 'IT' in Auntie Elk's mind off he went flying down the boardwalk towards the first corner beyond which was a deep pool .. obvious what was going to happen and funny to watch the realisation occur in his mind first and then auntie elk next. Paddy went over upside down on his back skidding along the boardwalk as he tried to prepare for the corner at high speed legs flailing in the air before the inevitable ploosh (he has an aversion to water!), followed by the Elk who did a handrail on her back that snowboarders would have been proud of followed by a double 180 reverse flip then ploosh . Collies learn quick and no amount of persuading would encourage a repeat, hence Paddy looking distinctly uncomfortable in this photo ..you can tell he's still got water in his ear from his recent submergence!
Just come back from spending a couple of days catching up with friends down in the wonderful city of Cardiff. We had a day out at Ogmore by Sea and a day hiking in the Brecon Beacons. Great company and great scenery!
This is a 6 shot focus stack of Sgwd yr Eira waterfall in the Brecon Beacons, one of four magnificent waterfalls on our six mile hike. The footpath actually goes right behind this fall but it does get pretty wet and slippy! www.facebook.com/AndrewWellsPhotography/
Corsewall Lighthouse in Scotland way past Stranraer in the county of Dumfries And Galloway is a long drive even though it's only 270 miles from home. The peninsula leading up to the lighthouse has only minor roads and the traffic trundles along at 40mph making it a trek and a half to get there.
According to Wikipedia, Corsewall Lighthouse was first lit in 1817. The definition of the name Corsewall is the place or well of the Cross. Corsewall Lighthouse was exhibited in 1817 but that year, the Principal Keeper at Corsewall was reported for incompetence after falling asleep on duty as the revolving apparatus of the light had stopped for a certain period. They suspended him and he was to never chiefly monitor a lighthouse again and was demoted as an assistant at Bell Rock.
In November 1970, Concorde reportedly flew over the lighthouse on a trial flight and shattered panes of glass on the lighthouse.
Although the lighthouse is still operated by the Northern Lighthouse Board, since automation in 1994 the rest of Corsewall Lighthouse has been converted into the Corsewall Lighthouse Hotel in which I was staying.
The coastline around the Lighthouse was slightly dangerous looking and I decided to recce the area in daylight to check the lay of the land. This turned out to be a smart move later in the dark!
Mooring Decks at Torness Bay, taken on Friday as I headed up to Dundee.
In addition to the two decks visible I also managed to 'deck it' as I walked along the shoreline. Super slippy stuff. You know its bad when you're heaped on the ground in a pile and think to your self, "I feel sick"
On my way back to the car I was almost eaten alive by kingsize radioactive killer midges.

Explored apparently, cheers!
Had a wander up to Middle Black Clough yesterday between the showers.
Cant believe I have never been before! Id heard so many stories how hard it was to navigate... Its not. Well not at this time of the year anyway. I cant say the same for winter or after plenty of rain, but right now its gorgeous.
I managed to get plenty of lovely shots so thought id share one with you.
If you decide to go, be careful underfoot its very slippy in places

So I had a photo in mind for a while now, that I would climb up on the northern edge of Great End to be able to get a view of the Wasdale and Seathwaite valley's, unfortunately I got up a bit too late and with a very ice slippy face I decided to stay a bit lower.
Allen Crags offer a decent elevated point with Sprinkling Tarn in the foreground too. So I opted to camp here for the night and grab a few shots.
This is the series of waterfalls in the Little Eachaig River just before it goes under an old bridge near Clachaig. I've tried photographing it with my DSLR and tripod but the rocks were extremely slippy so couldn't get a good shot. This was taken from my drone instead.
Yesterday morning after a heavy snowfall overnight that ended with rain that created ice under the snow. It was slippy to walk here!!
Lumsdale Falls is located in the Lumsdale Valley, Derbyshire.
The valley is home to a series of magnificent waterfalls, ponds and the ancient ruins of three mills.
This area is of huge archaeological significance, here you will find one of the largest collections of water powered industrial mills in the country.
As long as you have the use of your legs you’ll find it an exhilarating walk, there are steps and handrails but some areas can be slippy as well as having the potential for a nasty fall if you aren’t careful.
Both this and the previous pic were taken on the Leica Q handheld, ie sans tripod.
I’ll upload a couple more tomorrow that I took with the Olympus EM1
I have been out and back and it was worth it, I just took this photo about fifteen minutes ago, hot off the press!! It is a cold frosty morning in Aberdeen. Have a lovely Saturday wherever you are.
A certain somebody tried to follow Vivica into the tunnels… It was a bit slippy so he started to reverse, but that was tricky too! He went forward and luckily came out the other side Tunnels are not made for mooses.

I took this photo whilst relying on a tripod to keep me upright - the rocks were covered in algae and seaweed. However, the sunset looked so nice that safety was not my first concern :)
A very very very cold and super slippy day in Morecambe - popped in on way home. Last visit of 2022.

It's really slippy and a bit risky getting round the stern of this ship. Climbing round the lethal razor wire, if you don't slip on a rock and snap your ankle you might fall on a jagged end of rusty reinforcing steel spearing skyward from a broken block of concrete. Or you might get caught by the security guard or his heavies he calls on to deal with intruders. After the last time when three men armed with sharp implements came rushing down the rocks towards us as we tried to beat a hasty retreat I was a little nervous as I struggled over the twisted rocks and debris on the high tide mark. A quick escape is not possible. But this time I had just got out round the razor wire when I heard the voices of two men. My heart skipped a beat as I saw their heads appear above the skyline as they headed towards me. And then....shock, horror, I realised one of them held a rifle at the ready! This was not going to end nicely! "Don't let them know you're scared", I told myself as I moved up the rubble towards them. Fortunately they asked me if there was anyone down 'there' and I was pleased to be able to tell them, yes, the man they wanted was still down there. They seemed keen to hurry past down to the 'intruder' as I assumed they thought he must be. Only at that point did I manage to see the rifle clearly. It was an air-rifle, and I realised I would probably survive to post my picture on flickr.
