The day started wet, with an even worse forecast but, ever optimistic, we set of just before 10:00AM from the car park next to Ladybower reservoir. This is the viaduct, zoomed, with Crookstone knoll and farm behind.

The walk was about nine miles. It was good going on the edge, but much more sapping in the valley, where recent, and current, rain made the going very hard and slippery. I was quite pleased with the weather overall, as at least we had a dry morning, only getting wet later in the afternoon. This is the viaduct 'au naturelle'
One more of the viaduct, with some flora as a frame.
