So, I spent a bit of quality bonding time with my boy this afternoon. Although from the pics it looks like I was rather bonding with the camera than with Haruki. In my defence, we did go on to play the cup final on the lawn, and then build a yacht and a bird house out of fake wood (construction kit birthday present). The camera was back in it's bag by then.

Day 1 was a nice circuit around Castleton, taking in Winnat's and the Mam Tor ridge, and day 2 was an 'Edge' circuit of Hathersage. The weather was great, which led to a bit of a suntan and some great light for the photographs.
