Winter’s miracle

The ‘Grim North’ transformed here on this cold winter’s day to a place of great beauty. This taken just at the end of Yeoman Hey reservoir towards the back of Greenfield reservoir in my local Saddleworth Dovestones area. As expected on this Saturday morning, a lot of walkers around, all dressed up in their warmest gear. This after a night of minus six centigrade or less here.

Good o see you here again David. This used to be a quiet bit of the world but nowadays it is always crowded. My dog is called Niki (short for Nikon!).

Keep safe. Herb

Herb Riddle replied to Günter Klaus:

Yes, this depth was OK for walking but a lot of ice about and so not very easy to walk for us oldies. Very happy that you liked my walking area here.

Best Wishes, Herb

Herb Riddle replied to TOZ:

You will know that this area can be very beautiful, especially in weather like this. We were here for 09:30 taking advantage of the limited amount of good weather and the carpark was already almost full. On our return at 11.45 cars were turning around with nowhere to park. By 2pm the clouds had gathered. Sounds like another trip for us both together is due again.

Keep safe and warm. Herb

Yes a great place to walk through which I have done many times. As you say, even better in such conditions as this day. Very happy that you enjoyed our walk and thanks for yet another star.

Best wishes as the snow quickly disappears now. Herb
