Lose Hill (left) and Win Hill (right) in the Peak District, UK
Evening light rakes across the fields. Seen from Carhead Rocks.
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.

I was super happy in this photo, it was a week night & I told my wife that I was going to spend a whole week as Joanne to see how it goes. Usually my wife gets a bit angry if I tell her I am spending two days as Joanne but she didn't put up any kind of fight. I think she is finally getting used to seeing me as Joanne & she knows no matter what she says, I am still going to dress up.

During this year's summer vacations, I've been invited to visit the wonderful caves of Mr. Antonio Caggiano (www.cantinecaggiano.it/) in Taurasi (AV) - Italy.
Mr. Caggiano took us through his caves showing us an unexpected and amazing marvel. Beyond the enormous passion of the man about his job, we had the clear perception to be at the presence of a real "artist", who lives his life intensely. He's a painter, a poet, a photographer and he's been able to merge all these attitudes in his creations. The real and deep love for his land and for his legacy, led him to create the incredible wine cave he's currently running.
I warmly suggest you to visit this place if you're in the nearby: it's worth the deviation!
Alla Salute!
