Wow, two sunn days on the trot. Mus be record.

Well, today Mart L. and I visited the River Wye. Parking the car in the free car park in Upperdale, and walking up to the old Monsal Dale station on the Monsal Trail, and walking down the old trackbed until the tunnel overlooking Cressbrook, then taking the footpath along the hillside leading down into Water-cum-Jolly.

It was here at the weir that I got to use my ND4 filter for only the second time. Rattled off a few shots of the weir from downstream a little, and got some movement in the water. Metering was a nightmare 'cos it was quite dark in the shade under the trees, but there was a lot of bright highlights because the sun was very strong today. The pictures aren't by any means great, but in the OK bracket.

We followed the river upstream a little, until it was time to head back to the car with 3 hours and about 3 miles of walking covered.
