I took a slightly different route for my morning walk, it was quite enjoyable and I certainly discovered a couple of new views which will be worth visiting again in the future. The clouds were quite heavy first thing, and there had been a dusting of snow, but the light breaking through the cloud and hitting the Pennines attracted me to make another panoramic, there is a larger version of the above image here.
