After a glorious blue-sky morning things have clouded over somewhat, still with the occasional break allowing the sunshine to peer through and raise the temps back up. We hit a high of just over 13'c in the peaks and along with the sunshine and dry weather has come a handful of wildfires cropping up on the flanks of Kinder near to Chinley.
