Insects on the way
As well as the impressive trees don't forget to look down at some of the smaller inhabitants of our peak! Here is a fluffy caterpillar which has mistakenly climbed onto the handrail. While generally quite safe do take care that some of these varieties can irritate the skin if touched so it's best to leave them alone, after you have taken their picture of course!
