View north-east over Houndkirk Moor from the shelter

A walk on Houndkirk Moor 19

A cool morning with frequent showers, clearing to sunshine by afternoon.

A view north-east from the stone shelter in the previous photo, over the wide expanse of Houndkirk Moor. To the left of centre in the middle distance is Houndkirk Hill. The rocks to the right of centre form Houndkirk Edge. The straight scarp edge marks the line of a fault which runs along the foot of the scarp in a NE-SW direction.

Both scarps are composed of Namurian age ('Millstone Grit Series') Chatsworth Grit

Almost looks like parts of the sagebrush steppe!

Ah - I had to look it up, but yes, I see what you mean! I think the heather has a much denser coverage than sagebrush. When it is in flower, usually around August, it is glorious!
