You get some good inversions up there cos Hope Valley has it's own microclimate, usually about 5°C colder than anywhere else!

Some good pics of the chimney of the cement works poking through the clouds.

The ridge above Buxton is quite good for temperature inversions too.

Pity the other folk who'd climbed up for tranquility only to have some **** buzzing a drone around.

I was chatting to mrs_oab on our last hill - 50% of the hill days we have had in the last year have had someone buzzing a drone around. The only days without a drone are wet / windy / cloudy.

We get some stunning ones in the Welsh boarders.

They don't get interrupted by drones, maybe a bird of prey or too though

Anyone know what the difference is between fog and an inversion?

Often get low lying fog that you can get above round here (and look down on), but feels a bit strong calling it an inversion

The fog is a result of/caused by the (temperature) inversion. All last week it was freezing lower down, but base layer weather when you got higher up due to the lack of wind. Local ride on Friday morning, top of the fog layer was about 250m:

The Pentlands get them. On good day you can see Fife, on a great day you can't.
