Detour

I set out for a long walk today, along the Pennine Way, just a few miles from home. I intended a detour from my usual route, to have a look at Gaddings Dam. It was a fine day and I (think I) know the area well. So I (thought that I) memorised the map well, to find my way.

I turned off the path as planned but soon found myself in ankle-testing tussocky marsh grass. There was a small lake ahead which I thought was my destination. Wrong! It was a much smaller lake, just above a place called Bottomley, with an even smaller pond in which there were these two odd, almost Aztec, structures, another shot of which is here.
