There's trouble on t'Moors...

No, it's not a thick early morning mist, but the smoke from the huge moor fire on Saddleworth Moor, near Stalybridge, in late June 2018. All around was a hot, clear day, with unbroken blue sky, but in the fire zone, this...

This was the scene on Wednesday (27th) on Buckton Vale Road, Carrbrook, as strong winds drove thick smoke down into the lower reaches of the area. Local advice was to stay indoors with your windows shut - what, in that heat!!
