Hollingworth Lake

Hollingsworth Lake on a Wednesday. Would the motorways be clear this time?

No major delays, quite muddy after a lot of rain but very quiet on a weekday and the weather stayed fine.

Moel Famau

The forecast was a few passing showers. The reality was almost constant rain. We made the most of it but set off home by lunchtime. Nothing but murk. Of course, it dried up and went sunny in the afternoon. Grumble.

We did try a slightly different route, which had some views which might be nice in the summer.

Good job there's a signpost or we wouldn't know where we were

We can't see the next hill from here. In fact we can't see anything from here!
