On Kinder Scout's southern flank are a scattered group of rocks known as the Woolpacks, on account of them apparently being shaped like the afore mentioned. These odd sandstone outcrops have been blasted by the elements; cut through by the bitter mountain weather. On a bright winter day, a layer of snow all but covers the moorland heath and grasses. The stones stand apart from the white background, their rough-hewn textures caught in the sunlight. This particular lump of rock is known as the Moat Stone due to it often being surrounded by its own small pool, on this occasion the water had turned to ice.
