In the Dales

These three pictures were taken in Cressbrook Dale, well the third one is actually looking across the top of the dale from Litton but the first two are of the unusual rock formation at the northern end of the dale. (which is where I found the crinoid fossils shown in my blog post titled Marine Fossils)  

The feature in the second picture is known as Peter's Stone and as well as the rock that my daughter climbed (much to my surprise) it is also thought to be the place of the last public hanging in this country from the gibbet.

The New Forest

I am having trouble blogging at the moment since I don't have a decent data connection here in the New Forest, at least not on my campsite. Out on the heath however I have 4g so I'm making the most of it

So today's pictures ... The first is a small plantation of trees which have been devastated by disease.  It was sad to see these grey ghosts of trees when all around the forest is a splendid array of green.

The second was going to be my post for yesterday and is a quintessential image from this region. I absolutely love it here and hopefully over the next few days I will get to share some more pictures from my travels...
