Comments: Adding this walk in 2024, the named photographs confirm the route I took for which the distance and ascent are estimates. I clearly remember seeing the brocken spectre, the only time that this has happened.

created when an observer stands on a hill which is partially enveloped in mist and in such a position that their shadow is thrown on to the mist
