“The light looks good on the Pennines….” I look up from my iPad, pausing a game bookmarking the quantum field theory article for later, and look out the window. Julie was right, the last rays before the Sun started to set were hitting a small patch of the Pennines and I pushed my digital distraction aside and pulled out the camera bag all the while glancing at the view out of the window.

Undecided which way to go I headed off towards Martindale as it was a long time since I’d been that way and went for a wander up a fell 🙂 Any…
