Up at stupid o'clock to drive to Flash, the highest village in the Britain, apparently, for a solo hike that I'd planned on OS.
First place I wanted to see was Three Shires Head. Slightly mis-timed it as it was still dark 🤷♂️
Interesting place, though, and I intend visiting again (in the early morning to miss the ctowds!)
Still wearing my head-torch, I navigated myself to Ludd's Church, a place I've visited before. Once again I beat the crowds 🙂
Beautiful place to visit.. 😎
At least it was light by then!
The rest of the hike was through woods & fields with plenty of livestock to shoo out of the path.. 🐮
Slightly concerned about the double ended guardians of the gate! 😋
A tiny cow even stood atop my poles!! 😲
I did divert to Flash Bottom but there there was nothing there except a junk heap, sadly.. Not even a photo of a sign.
With a few diversions & a wrong turn, I ended up on 11¼ miles quite happy with the day even though it was cloudy and I never saw the sun ☀️
