Lonely Tree
Edale Valley
I’ve spent a lovely week in the Peak District staying in The Edale Valley. This is one of the many views from Mam Tor.
Somewhere in the picture, was the cottage I was staying in.
Volunteering at Slindon
South Hants National Trust Volunteers were at the forefront of ‘The Rise of Northwood’ project where they helped to erect tree shelters for a new wood pasture.
The project is being carried out on the National Trust’s Slindon estate, where they are converting areas of former agricultural land, back to to woodland. An exciting five year project.
Learning to Fly Fish
The National Trust estate where I volunteer on has a number of fishing beats for fly fishing. The season has just finished so the river keeper invited us to have a day on one of the beats to try fly fishing (Not sure anyone caught anything though!). Bacon sandwiches on arrival then BBQ’d trout for lunch. Very nice. I liked the simplicity of the setup. You have a rod, a reel, a landing net, and some flies. That’s all you need.
Peacock
The wonderfully named Peacock butterfly
Panoramic view from Stockbridge Down
View from Stockbridge Down that I stitched together from a number of photos using Lightroom’s Photo Merge. Pretty effective. Click on the picture to see the full size.
