Blackmoorfoot

I'd been talking to Helen earlier this week and she suggested Blackmoorfoot as somewhere I might go to take photos  -   i'ts only about five miles away but I'd never been before today.  There were many people out taking advantage of the fine weather and we enjoyed the walk immensely even though it was bitterly cold.  It was muddy and wet underfoot too, but I managed to keep my boots fairly clean until I saw a Sparrow Hawk;  I forgot all about treading carefully and stepped on what I thought was terra firma and sunk up to my ankles in mud.  We've all done at some time or another I know, but it's so annoying  -  anyway I've left the boots till tomorrow, I can't face cleaning them just now.
