Led a 9+ mile circular ramble from Alston. Had 16 followers! After a short shower at the start it stayed dry ... albeit very windy again (again Force 7 gale).
1. Start at Alston (as the midday steam train arrived). Slightly cropped.

2. View from Low Sillyhall. I intended this as a lesson in not how to take a panorama (i.e. hand held in a force 7 with detail in the foreground). I've done this before and got (bad) parallax errors. Anyway didn't work out quite like that ... there is a error in the far hills (easily corrected if I wanted to)

3. The junk you find in the country ("one mans junk is another mans project" ... old Chinese Saying)

4. The Falls at Low Houses Bridge (near Garrigill). Should I crop this? (To the left was a building of no particular interest).

5. Least worst bridge I could safely get a photo of

6. Finally another panorama (River is South Tyne, as in the above)

As usual armoured 40D plus 17-40L.
Feel free to point out technical blunders. I am not artistic at all, so these are an as-is record of the day - honest!
