Tegg's Nose - Peak District Walk
Wednesday 6th February 2008
A walk to Tegg's Nose has been on my to do list since last year and with the promise of plenty of sunshine I headed out to Wildboarclough hopeful of a great day. I wasn't disappointed, for most of the day the sun shone and there was plenty of blue sky as well. Again there was plenty of trying out different settings on the camera but I think I have just about got the adjustments needed for the new lens sorted now.

Does she know what she is doing with that camera?' I think that's what they were saying. I certainly attracted the attention of these sheep at the start of the walk.
