Higger Tor - Peak District Walk
Thursday 27th August 2009
A quick dash out to check a route description. It was just as well I made an early start, as by the time I finished the walk there wasn't a space to be found in the car park. The grey start to the day soon gave way to warm sunshine, but the ground was very wet, after all of the recent rain.

After the walk I needed to do some shopping in Bakewell and this time I remembered to take my camera so as that I could take a shot of the river Wye.
