Pule Hill, Marsden Nov 2013 029V2

            I noticed a cloud formation heading south and in our direction, the light was good and for a short while I guessed that there would be a window to grab a few photos. We were heading up Wessenden after work for our usual walk. I decided that Pule Hill would be a better place to be and we headed there.
Although I had other, better, Gear with me I just took the Canon G1X with me. I got a couple of shots before the cloud moved across the sun - that was that - for the time being. We knew that there were eight Paragliders flying over Pule and we were heading that way so I was hoping for a break in the cloud and a few photos up there. The cloud had a few breaks but we could see under the cloud beyond Manchester. Pule is almost on the Pennine watershed and you can see over the tops to Lancashire and we could see the Floodlights at the Huddersfield football ground on Leeds Road - as a viewpoint it is one of the best around.
Now, the thing is, I predicted that, if, the sun dipped under the cloud in the west, that there would be a fantastic sunset as the underneath of this mass of dappled cloud was lit up golden orange. And it did! it was the most memorable sunset in a long time around here - the problem is - I had things to do, places to go, we were getting cold in the wind in Pule and we were in Morrisons carpark in Meltham as everyone pointed there phones at the sky and posted pictures on Facebook. We had just left the best viewpoint 20 minutes before - I predicted the outcome - And I was in Morrisons f****** carpark. I was so annoyed I didn't get the camera out of the car or my phone out of my pocket. What a t**t!
