On my own

Comments: This was just a quick afternoon walk but as the weather was quite good I decided to add Great Hill to it. This time I did manage to find signs of a path north from Drinkwaters, as marked on the map, but it seemed to disappear before too long. A pleasant afternoon.

The barn is slowly deteriorating . . .

 

but Solomon's Temple remains the same  . . .

 

as does Drinkwaters

 

The summit is deserted today
