The village of Hope is in the centre of the picture
We drove through Hope and Castleton to park beneath Mam Tor.Its an iconic mountain being the place where gritstone meets limestone means the mountain is unstable and collapsing on one side .There are very fine views and the hills had a light covering of snow.We walked along the great central ridge which John Hillaby (writer) thought is one of the finest walks.We went past Rough Tor and Back Tor to get back to the car as it got dark. The hills look better in winter , dont you think ?
I love this little hill , its full of character ,trees on one side and a steep cliff on the other.It want to be a mountain but the trees have crept up the side and put it in its place, which is as a side show to the real deal , Mam Tor. Its gentle walking on prepared paths but just right for this time of year if you dont fell like pushing the envelope
