Cycle ride: Lancaster University-Dolphinholme-Abbeystead-Trough of Bowland-Lancaster

I cycled home from work 'the long way' today, passing through Dolphinholme and Abbeystead to take photos of Wyresdale in the beautiful evening light.

I reached the head of the Trough of Bowland just in time to climb part way up Whin Fell and appreciate the last of the direct sunlight catching the hills around the Trough, before turning back at sunset and cycling home in darkness. Purely by chance, I'd chosen a day on which the full moon photogenically rose over the moors a little after sunset. As I said in one of the photo captions, it'd have advantageous to have been carrying a tripod, but the results aren't bad anyway.
