Around Hay Knott

What a beautiful October morning. Too good to waste, but we have plans for this afternoon, so a mornings walk looks like a good idea. We decided on a circuit of Hay Knott, so drove over to Fellside to start the walk from there. It still seems surreal that we can do things like this - and we're not on holiday!

Her Ladyship is showing her age at the moment, and we have had a ground frost overnight, so it's time to get her exercise blanket out.

Never mind the cold, Hattie has a paddle and a nice peaty drink.

Clear blue skies and views all around. This is looking down Hay Gill

Across the gill, we can see signs of the old mineral mines, Hushes on the side of Brae Fell.

More evidence of mining, with an old Kiln Chimney (top left of picture), running up the side of the fell by Hay Gill.
