North west of Bamford and sitting at the head of the Ladybower Reservoir Win Hill provides some of the best views in the Peak District.
The ascent from Hope, via Twitchill Farm, gives stunnig views across to Lose Hill and the Great Ridge
At 1,516 ft, it is almost surrounded by water. The River Derwent to the east, the River Noe to the south west and Ladybower Reservoir to the north. A ridge running north west links it to Kinder Scout and stops it from being an island.
On top of Win Hill lies Win Hill Pike, a small conical shaped crag that can be seen for miles around. Win Hill Pike has an Ordnance Survey triangulation point, or trig point on it's highest point.
With 472 ft of relative height, Win Hill is only 20 ft short of qualifying as a Marilyn. A Marilyn is a mountain or hill in the United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland or Isle of Man with a prominence of at least 150 metres (492 ft), regardless of absolute height or other merit. The name was coined as a punning contrast to the designation Munro, used of a Scottish mountain with a height of more than 3,000 feet (914.4 m), which is homophonous with (Marilyn) Monroe.

From Win Hill Pike, looking north over Ladybower Reservoir. The road to the left of the road bridge is the famous A57 Snake Pass which was at one time the main road between Manchester and Sheffield.
ALLAH has perfect timing.
Never early and never late
And it takes a little patience
And a lot of faith.
So, don't you cry, Bangladesh. Have heart.
Who said you didn't win? You won our hearts.
And that, is the best thing anyone can win.

The cloudless evening gave the scene a very even glow and some lovely diffused colour, the last of the days sun light were catching the rocky outcrops of Win Hill. This was taken looking up towards the Ordnance Survey trig point and down the Great Ridge to Lose Hill, Back Tor and Mam Tor in the far centre of the background.

My wife is starting to get used to seeing Joanne around the house all of the time, it didn't even bother her when I told her I was going to the store as Joanne. Hopefully hormones will be next.
