Mohope Of Recovery, Sunday 2 March 2014

The splendid isolation of Ninebanks proved too tempting today, so we headed out straight from the hostel to the surrounding moors.

Up a slippery stream lay a land of peace, the bleeping of lapwings giving way to the gentle trickle of water running down from the oddly-named Mohope Moor.

On the top of the moor, we soon found ourselves literally off the beaten track, making up our own route across open access land between bogs, shrubs and bright white patches of yesterday's hail.  It was a wild, atmospheric place to end.
