Swamp hike: day 2

We woke up on the moors, surrounded by grouse sounds. And after breakfast we were on our way again. It was lovely weather again! And we headed north. We had a snack break at an impressive tor. And then we headed back south and then towards the next ridge along the way: Stanage Edge. It was also very beautiful! But quite windy. And at some point, we decided to come down from that ridge looking for a bit of shelter. And we found a beautiful copse. With amazing autumn colours. We had our location for the night!

Scouting for somewhere to sleep 

We pitched the tents, and I went to get water from a nearby stream. When I was there anyway, I had a wash. And this time, Henco cooked. It was lovely as ever! And it was bright so a bit cold, but no wind, so it was ok. We still went to bed quite early. 

Cooking

At midnight, I woke up because I had to go to the toilet. When I got out of the tent it was so quiet and moonlit I was glad I had had to go. And that was the second day done!
