Downriver from the Headstone Viaduct is the picturesque four-step weir that is a favourite picnic spot on the River Wye.

The Headstone Viaduct across Monsal Dale in the Peak District.
It's not often I come away from a day out with more than 5 half decent shots so i'll have to bore you with another of this lovely location!
The beautiful vista from Monsal Head gives a beautiful panorama of the Monsal Dale and Wye valley. The majestic former Midland Railway viaduct over...
Weir side story........it's not very often I can be bothered with a write up so bare with me it might get a touch dull....... Another shot from Mondays trek to the Peak District with the Welsh one, just off the Monsal Trail. When we arrived at the top of the weir we were greeted by half a tree, ok might have been a large branch, sat nicely on the first shelf and spoiling the view somewhat......after a half hearted attempt to move it by chucking a few small rocks at it and trying to reach it with a tripod it was obvious said tree/branch wasn't going to budge. At some point I decided to go in for a paddle, I mean seriously where is Paul when you need him? Tree/branch eventually moved with the help of the tripod and the forces of nature.................. At which point 3 toggers on the other side of the river decide that the view is quite nice now and they'll stay after all and proceeded to stand in the same spot for an hour blocking our shots.......... Is it just me or do toggers fit nicely into two categories, nice friendly ones that don't mind sharing a few helpful hints or tips and coconut ring or two, or ones that are so far up their own backside?.....best stop there it's a family show!
