Hike in monsal dale

On Saturday I, my wife and a friend were off to Monsal Dale for a hike of about 10 km. It was sunny but the wind was cold.  We went down to Monsal Valley and along the river Wye back to were we started. The river is known for its excellent fishing for brown trout, rainbow trout and grayling.
There was no problem to see fish in the clear water, they were everywhere.

Unfortunately almost all the leaves from the trees have fallen down, which felt odd as elsewere there are plenty of fall colors. Might depend on the trees?

Best known is Monsal Dale for the bridge crossing the river wye, and it looked pretty impressive, I must say.
The route took 3.5 hours and it was very easy to walk. The walk ended at the pub the Bull's head in the village Ashford-in-the-water.

 
Camera equipment i used: Nikon 3Ds, nikon 24-70mm f2,8 pol filter.

  1. Det sägs att vädret i England är uselt, men det kan ju inte stämma att döma av dina senaste blogginlägg. Solen strålar, bilderna radierar värme. Kul att få ta del av så många fina platser du fotoguidar oss igenom. / Deerhunter

  2. Haha om du bara visste :) skämtåsido vädret i år har varit den blötaste på 20 år eller om det var mer. Hela våren öste det bara ner och det vart stora översvämningar. Men visst i sheffield ska det vara hyfsat soligt och fint annars. Hösten har väl varit bättre än sommarna i alla fall.
    Kul att du gillar dom olika platserna jag försöker visa, när jag är ute på vift. :)

    mvh Jani
