Last big walk of 2025. Circular from Dovestones Reservoir via Alphin Pike, with a bit of scrambling thrown in for good measure. A great way to see out a shitty year.

An hour after sunset. Twilight largely monochrome with a hint of blue in the cold clear sky reflected in the foreground Dovestones reservoir that leads the eye to the hills in the skyline.
The Sun has set and the autumn colours are fading. The cloudy sky yields to pale orange colours kissing the skyline Oldham lights in the misty distance. In the middle is Dovestones reservoir nestling in the valley shot from high on the edge above.
The sun has set and the autumn colours are fading. The near cloudless sky yields to pale orange colours kissing the skyline Oldham lights in the misty distance. In the middle is Dovestones reservoir nestling in the valley shot from high on the edge above. Portrait shoot, earlier with more colour courtesy of the bracken and heather. The foreground is littered with car sized grit stone boulders.
The sun has set and the autumn colours are fading. The partially cloudless sky yields to pale orange colours kissing the skyline in the distant mist. Out of sight around the corner of the valley below is Dovestones reservoir nestling in the valley shot from high on the edge above. The foreground is littered with car sized grit stone boulders. In particular a flat topped near impossible balanced boulder takes up a proportion of the foreground but still sits before the skyline of the hills and #KinderIntake surrounding the #valley.
Late afternoon #walk by #Saddleworth #Yorkshire #Moors from #DoveStones up to #Chew #reservoir along the edge of Dove Stone Moss (500m). Descending the #Crags and #moorland thinly covering the rocks in near darkness, but not giving up night vision illuminated by the fading light.

My partner, Tarrant, who broke her leg in spectacular fashion last September, managed to walk over 1.5 miles without a break last weekend at #Dovestones. The Pennine Way might be of the table for 2025 but perhaps '26 could be the year we throw obnoxious sums of money at high end camping gear again?

View of stone-coloured footpath, grass on right, wooden fence on left. Golden-leafed tree in middle of the scene. Green, gold and brown vegetation on hills in the background.
View of pointed top of a hill, with grey cloud covering the peak. Autumnal leaves and trees in the foreground. A small, grey house is half way up the hill.
Autumn colours. Brown bracken in foreground. Lots of autumnal trees in the middle of the picture, and hills behind.
Very wet but still lovely

Here’s one of our local ones. It’s called #Dovestones Reservoir and is huge. It’s in the Peak District's Dark peak, in an area known as #Saddleworth. It’s classed as a national park. Can take an hour to walk round it easily. Beautiful in the summer (when we get one 🤣) and people go sailing on it.
