We headed off for the Upper Derwent Valley, Derbyshire this afternoon to try and catch some autumnal colours and some of the promised autumn sunshine. Well, as they say you cannot have everything as the sun only made a very fleeting appearance in what remained to be grey skies. Still the colours were great for the fog weary eyes and full of promise of more to come. Here at Howden Reservoir the bracken added to the autumnal ambience………
At least we know that a return trip should be made if the weather does improve….but with temperatures down to 5c and even a flurry if snow before we headed for home it may be very good fortune if we succeed.
