The Brocken Spectre! how cool.

Incredible! What are the chances of getting a shot like that? A million to one I'd guess. I presume that's your shadow, or was there really a spectre present? Amazing, well done!

Thanks folks. It was the best one I've seen for ages. I think it's probably my shadow though it does look quite a bit trimmer than me so you never know :-)

I've said before how I wish there was a 'best of' book of sites added to TMA over the years, and, similarily, I'd love to see a book of the best images. Were that the case, this pic'd be straight in there in the Otherworldly section. Well done.

Thanks Spencer. I was lucky with the mist and early sun.

Not really much to do with the hillfort but the reason I was there early was that I had stayed the night close by. If anyone is ever passing through this area and is looking for a different place to stay the night, maybe give this a look - A 1960's caravan up a tree in the middle of nowwhere! It was an interesting night to say the least but I was kind of glad to see the morning, good fun though. You can see Tap o'Noth from the tree and Wormy Hillock (a favourite place) is just down the track.
