GOOD FRIDAY @ Three Shires Head
Easter is upon us and what better way to spend Good Friday than to do a decent walk to ensure the gluttonous evening meal is somewhat offset! My mate Jim and I made our way up to Three Shires Head which is the point on Axe Edge Moor where Cheshire, Derbyshire and Staffordshire meet (GPS 53.213°N 1.987°W).
The main landmark is a packhorse bridge. The bridge is Grade II-listed, and was probably constructed in the late 18th century. I don't actually have a photograph of this due the large amount of bystanders spoiling the view! Of course they've every much right as us to be there; I'll just have to come back early in the morning when it's not quite so busy.
Lots of white water at the head. Shot this very fast to freeze it. Nikon Z7ii is performing very well at higher ISO so it was easy pushing shutter speeds up to 1/4000s.

Small bridge off the side of the main packhorse bridge. No people about for about 3 seconds!
Starting to like crisp frozen water instead of blur these days
More frozen rapids!

Love me some daffs
Cold Chai Tea anyone?
Easter Sunday @ Biddulph Grange
After smashing my knee up only felt up to a short walk round Biddulph Grange Country Park.
Cheeky chap
Broody not looking into the lens because that's cool shot. Complete with lockdown face-bear. It's going soon I promise.
I've taken this one before, but it might be cool to get all four seasons

Seriously... why would you do that?
Sinister tunnel
Please don't leave stuff in the forest
Lovely spring evening
