Today in Pictures, another trip to see Geoffrey.

1. A bad case of the droplets.
2. Red sphagnum Moss, not very common, has anyone else seen it?
3. Here we go, yomping to see Geoffrey.
4. Looking back to see if we were followed, can't be sure.
5. Found the trig point, I wasn't looking for it, some interesting things in the distance, to the left Rishton Res. almost in the centre and reflecting the sun, Dean Clough Res. The tower is the peak of Pendleton Moor. Almost at Geoffrey's
6. Here we are Geoffrey's place.
7. So here we go, heading back.
8. I have to get the dog over there, I struggle getting over myself, I get a nose bleed due to the height.
9. The trig point, looking in the opposite direction.
10. I would like to say I am almost back, I have however found myself at an Australian sheep station with Ayres Rock in the distance.

I don't like to do the same walk, in the same week so it gets me out and about. I have to say I don't know many walks in Hassy, and only get to the area when "dads taxi" is required. The time before I visited the Halo, but this was one of my projects to visit all the panopticons, one to go, corporation park gun placements. I was thinking of mooching around the hospital grounds, looked over the wall and there was a security guard connected to an Alsatian, all snot and gnashers, so I thought I would leave it.

Today in Pictures, it looked cold outside, so thought I would put my camouflage pants on, put them down, and now I cant find them.

1. The repaired overflow at Jackhouse Reservoir.
2. The waterfall from what was once the top reservoir.
3. Looking back to the reservoir from the bridge.
4. Following the stream up hill, this stream joins the main one.
5. As far up as we are going today.
6. Its hard not to see them from here.
7. See what I mean.
8. Heading back down, still a covering of leaves on the ground.
9. Leaves from last year, not be long before the new ones arrive.......possibly.
10. Back at the wet bit, time for home.
