Amazing but true Woodhead Reservoir today. Not quite full because some water is being sent to Torside which now has a higher level than at any time in the last few years(while work on the dam was in progress)

The stone steps section on the steep West side of Kinderlow End #PeakDistrict #Landscape I descended this way very slowly. 2nd photo is the view North from the same point. iPhone snaps with a Vintage01 profile in Lightroom

The start of the path up White Brow used by many as the route to Kinder Scout #PeakDistrict
It almost looks like it should have a sign saying “Abandon Hope” but it turns out nice at the top.
Cobbled path

Half way up Shelf Benches on Bleaklow gave a good angle for this photo. Some bright sunshine today in the #PeakDistrict #Landscape and my old Pentax K3 and Adobe Landscape profile in Lightroom

The MEN links to The Express ( I risked a look ) Glossop is second in the researchers list. Life expectancy is good for Glossop 85+ BUT I had to look up Alresford - Essex on the right after Colchester off the road to Clacton. Tynemouth sounds like a winner

Somebody hasn’t looked very far and I wonder if they are living in Glossop and trying to convince themselves - I’ll risk a look at the above
