(1/2) There's no magic spell that can stop a wild fire.๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ™ This huge fire bowl, along with the leftovers of a mighty feast, was left by some witches or wizards on our Stanage North Lees estate recently, just metres from dry vegetation that hasn't seen rain for several weeks...

Now that the snow has mostly thawed we've started to see a lot of flood water. ๐Ÿ’ฆ Thankfully gullies like this one installed by @moorsforfuture help to keep rainfall on the hills, slowing its flow into the valleys below! It also creates habitat pools for moorland species. ๐Ÿ‘

If you do choose to visit the #PeakDistrict , please respect the #NationalPark for everyone. BBQs should not be brought into the area, as the dry conditions - shown in this photograph - significantly increase the wild fire risk. Please also take home what you bring with you.
