A walk up on misty Yorkshire moorssteemCreated with Sketch.

Most weekends we go out on a long walk to give the dogs (and ourselves) some decent exercise after being cooped up at home working all week. We have been up on the moors and done the same walks many times now, but the best thing about being up there is how changeable the weather can be. You can do the same walk every weekend but have a different experience each time due to the weather. Today was no exception.

We knew it was going to be a misty walk the moment we drove out of town and into the countryside. The mist was so thick you could barely see 30m in front of you. Fog lights required!

We began at a lay-by on Huddersfield Road where the Pennine Way crosses it. The wind was bitter. You had to keep moving to stay warm even with a ski jacket on!

The mist was landing on the freezing tips of the long grass and instantly turning to ice.

Isaac runs and leaps through the grass having the time of his life. His energy has no bounds. When he's free to roam and release it, he is in his element.
Whenever an edge is upon us, he always takes the opportunity to find the best spot for a view and sniff the air.

We march onward, 2 miles in and still no sign of a break in the mist. The wind blows across the grass, giving the illusion of waves on an ocean surface.

We climb higher and soon breaks start to appear in the mist around us. As it becomes less dense its movement in the wind becomes more apparent. Now it feels like we're walking in the clouds.

Within just a few minutes the mist is gone, like it was never there at all. We were trapped in the mist, like some sort of cloud prison, then just like that, it set us free.

We stood still for a few moments, amazed by the speed at which it had cleared, and watched it as it drifted off into the distance.

With a renewed sense of vision, we were treated with great views across Dowry Reservoir and the surrounding landscape, dotted with leafless trees as the winter sets in.
