Peak District drive

[AndyP]

The weather was nice this afternoon so I went for a drive around the Peaks













Weather looks good for tomorrow so I'm thinking of getting up at 6am and going out again to beat all the tourist traffic. I'll take the camera again

The old beast is looking really good mate - surely the tourists are pretty easy pickings for you?

Very nice photos Andy!

Thanks The pictures really do not do it justice though, especially being up on the top of the Derwent Valley when it was still full of mist, the light was amazing. I'm going to have to do it more often and pick some different routes.
