Mount Famine from the Sheepwash

We managed to stay dry with rain and I'm told hail falling around us to the north and south.

This shot was taken during a short circular walk starting from the Bowden Bridge car park at Hayfield - that's the one with the famous Kinder Trespass plaque above it at the back.

The walk goes through the hamlets of Hill Houses, Booth and Farlands and has great views of Kinder Bank Wood and although Kinder Scout is never sighted there is a good view of Kinderlow end.

It does however give excellent views of South Head and Mount Famine two marvelous hills to the west of Kinder and Mount Famine is at the centre of this shot - its a hill that looks completely different from every angle from some its small and pointed from others it becomes larger and more like a whale back - I feel a series of photos may be required :-)

Some nice Autumn colours about and what about that wall !

Oh yes - The sheepwash, the wall is part of a century old sheepwash under an Ash tree ( said to be many years older ) by the River Kinder at Booth.
