kinder scout, the woolpacks, february 2008

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.
