As good as it got, the SE ponds
Looking across the south shore
Up the track
South end path.
Theres water beyond all this shoreline apparently.
I never saw it.
A terrible day at Fly Flatts both a.m and p.m. even though there was a good W>4 blowing.
This morning I could see the ponds clearly and half of the water but by late afternoon I thought it looked better until I got to the last 100 yds when the fog was like Pea and Ham soup with visibility down to about 30 yards. Impossible to check the ponds, shoreline or water so it was a quick walk and back to base, with a second visit today cut short.
The only sign of bird life was this morning with 5 adult autumn plumaged Wheatear darting around the ponds.
At the top gate a lady and 2 men hikers were looking panic stricken with maps and phones out as they walked towards Oxenhope. As they saw me they said they were completely lost and disorientated trying to get to Ogden Water. I sent them back the way they had come telling them to go down the track by the Withins which they remember passing earlier. So good deed done I headed home where 100 yards down the road there was no sign of fog. Even Queensbury was clear although we did get some real torrential showers early evening.
