Walking Win Hill and Alport Castles

Me and my good friend Matt from Peakseekers.co.uk went for a walk in the peak district yesterday.  As always when I walk with Matt I am completly reliant on his navigation which is always on the money!  This is just as well as today we were doing a 13mile round walk.  We started the walk at 10am and finished at 6pm.  For the full write up, map, directions etc. please check out Matts site http://www.peakseekers.co.uk/  and be sure to say hello from me.  I cannot take any credit for the pics as they are from Matts ubercamera, I hope you enjoy them as much as me.

CAUTION: We have since found out that we should not have climbed the Tower at Alport Castles due to lose rocks coming away.  You've been warned!

Watching my steps very carefully!



The upcoming photos show me and Matt sat on the top of this.




A bit of danger lets you know you're alive!

A little out of comfort zone, but what a buzz.

    I am lucky enough to be working in the Peaks at the moment, it is a stunning place, especially at this time of year with clear skies and autumn colours. Thanks for taking the time to post your adventures.

    Yes...stunning photos. After the recent rain and snow I should think that the water levels in the reservoirs will be higher now.

    Just out of interest. Was that set of keys still attached to the Trig Point on Win Hill? Quite a wierd thing to see I thought?
    Looked like an ace trek this one, awesome.

    I don't remember any keys, when I see Matt next I'll ask him if he remembers seeing them.
