A short Christmas walk with Steve & Matt took us through Macclesfield forest to the summit of Cheshires highest peak, standing relativly small at only 506 mtrs its shape and prowess still dominates the area above the forest.

Yesterday the sun shone only very briefly just allowing us to witness the cloud and thickening fog surround the peak.....  giving a stunning perspective of a winters morning


although this was the scene from the same spot looking back towards the forest, the fog is rolling in at a pace


of course once at the top the only thing in sight was the Trig point... the usual stunning views were down to a few meters



meanwhile its no better back down at the frozen Ridgegate reservoir


although this Little Grebe found the only patch of unfrozen water in a small overflow pool.
Little Grebe.. at work


at Rest.....


and Play ....


finished off with lunch at the very welcoming Leathers Smithy public house
