Whenever I need to recharge my soul, I go for an aimless ramble on the moors. This time I took a wrong turning and ended up at Meldon Quarry. The local ravens took the mick out of my navigation, little buggers. Away from the grim working stuff, there are lovely old overgrown quarries like this:

After walking the labyrinth and getting a sunbeam as a prize (yay!) I set off to the dam and yes, it's still there and still looks like an Empire blockhouse from Star Wars...
Just in case you didn't think it was Autumn yet, here's some delicious rowan berries!
