An unexpected shed on the Leat

An unexpected shed on the Leat

High on the moor, still in the driving rain, I came upon this shed at the side of the Devonport Leat. This is close to where the Leat disappears inside a tunnel, close to Nun's Cross. I could have worked the Clone tool hard on the sky here, but prefer to let the raindrops on the lens be.

Devonport Leat beyond Raddick Hill

Devonport Leat beyond Raddick Hill

This was the last photograph I took for an hour or two with the Nikon. It was just a losing battle keeping the water off the lens's large front element, and even after I'd wiped it, it would stay smeared. And so the next few photos were all taken with my lovely little new Olympus four thirds camera. With its much smaller lens shielded by my large brolly, I could carry on recording the walk.

Black Tor, above Black Tor Hole

Looking back toward the Tor, showing the route previously taken from Black Tor hole (by the cascade) up the rocks to the Tor. I was now making my way across the flanks of Raddick Hill to meet the leat again at the top.

Stone Row under Black Tor, driving rain

Stone Row under Black Tor, driving rain

Black Tor is now at the top of the image. I descended back down into the valley of the Meavy, crossed where I could and back up the other side to find this small stone row, which isn't named on my OS map. The conditions here really started to deteriorate and continued like this for the next couple of hours.
