Saturday 4th March 2006

Another brilliant winter's day with clear blue skies and little wind. A walk with my sister Carol and Mark along Stanage Edge, so as that they could enjoy the views of Kinder Scout and Bleaklow in the snow without too much climbing involved, as Carol was feeling somewhat under the weather.

Stanage Edge from the car park. The path up to the top was icy until we got
 near to the top where the warm sun meant a clear dry path.

From Stanage Edge, Mam Tor covered in snow.
