Sunlight across Stoodley Pike, Todmorden.

My son was in a fell race in Todmorden, where I grew up, today. He was racing up the hillside below Gaddings Dam, just along the ridge from the hill in this photo - Stoodley Pike. It was very cold but a lovely morning. The monument on the hill is a replacement for the original structure which was damaged by a lightning strike in 1854. The original was build in 1815 to commemorate the defeat of Napoleon and the surrender of Paris.

Stoodley Pike, Todmorden.

This is Stoodley Pike, the hill that stands over Todmorden, the town where I grew up. I took this photo today on a family walk. It was lovely weather, albeit a bit hazy. We had a great time jumping from rock to rock along the mountain top (if you stand on something that isn't a rock you're 'out' - a childhood game I played that I still enjoy with my husband and kids!).
