Close to the summit the view to the West, which included Mam Tor someway along the Great Ridge, was becoming slowly clearer as the sun gathered strength.

A view straight along the Ridge. Showing an undulating track, with the high point at Mam Tor standing out quite well in the middle distance.

The view from the rock: the soft late summer sunshine gave a lovely velvety look to the grass on the side of the Ridge,

The view North looked over the Vale of Edale, with the great bulk of Kinder Scout behind. Sharp eyes will just spot the train heading along the valley floor!

Our gentle walk along the Ridge meant we were slowly closing in on our high point for the day the summit of Mam Tor. Seen here with the view to the South West of the Peak as well.

We were enjoying our day in the Peaks a great deal. And no doubt those hang gliding from and over Rushup Ridge just ahead of us were also pretty happy with the day as well.

The summit of Mam Tor was reached, and we were soon heading down the track on it's Southern side.

Winnats Head Farm, with it's surrounding dry stone walls, stands, (obviously!), at the head of the scenic Winntas Pass. And looked lovely in the afternoon sunshine.

The road was to our right, but not fully visible as we gently wandered into and then down Winnats Pass.

The exit to Winnats Pass. And to the right a rocky section that provides some adventure for those who like steep scrambles!

The dry stone walls add enornmous character to the whole area. And these looking down to Castleton were no exception.
