It took ages to get out and I was lucky not to lose my boots, (thank goodness for Berghaus's Yeti gaiters!). Now it could be walked in flip-flops...it's taken all the fun out really!</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/l4ts/">l4ts</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/l4ts/48587249396/" title="Worm Stones"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48587249396_5e09e8db63_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Worm Stones" /></a></p> <p>The Worm Stones on Chunal Moor near Glossop, looking towards Bleaklow.

In describing the view I commented that the line snaked round until it disappeared in a tunnel - Burbage Tunnel. As I said, the line was closed and lifted in 1892 and nothing now remains of its infrastructure except cuttings and the tunnel mouth. Back in 2015 I walked along the trackbed, now completely grassed over with nothing 'railway' left, as far as the closed tunnel. Using some Photoshop techniques and just for fun, I decided to recreate a view the locomen may have experienced as their engine came out of the tunnel portal. The top two show the real view today with the top right shot with my back against the bricked up tunnel mouth, the lower my imagination. They say the camera never lies - but the cameraman ???</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/grumpymk/">Grumpy MK</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/grumpymk/48586485102/" title="Sunset"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48586485102_b95861f9ba_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Sunset" /></a></p> <p>Outing with my camera club</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/grumpymk/">Grumpy MK</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/grumpymk/48586485302/" title="Grindleford from Froggatt Edge"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48586485302_94fdb87756_m.jpg" width="240" height="117" alt="Grindleford from Froggatt Edge" /></a></p> <p>Outing with my camera club</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/grumpymk/">Grumpy MK</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/grumpymk/48586484907/" title="Rocky outcrop"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48586484907_ba4588c704_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Rocky outcrop" /></a></p> <p>Outing with my camera club</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/grumpymk/">Grumpy MK</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/grumpymk/48586341081/" title="Heather and rocks in the sunset"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48586341081_7cd797472e_m.jpg" width="240" height="130" alt="Heather and rocks in the sunset" /></a></p> <p>Outing with my camera club</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/127892840@N05/">shaunyoung365</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/127892840@N05/48586086997/" title="Over Owler Tor"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48586086997_a6b6b31caa_m.jpg" width="240" height="175" alt="Over Owler Tor" /></a></p> <p>Had two frustrating morning visits on the trot up to to Over Owler Tor, both mornings the weather forecast looked good but didn't materialise as cloud blocked out any chance of light on both mornings.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/40940504@N06/">oldeyes47</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/40940504@N06/48586039592/" title="Near Black Clough"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48586039592_0b3f26c45b_m.jpg" width="191" height="240" alt="Near Black Clough" /></a></p>
