High Pike ....in search of 'White Worms'.

It would appear that this is quite an important record ...We've always known this lovely montane lichen to be present on High Pike, but it hasn't been formally recorded in the area, so yesterday it was off for a quick trip to get the photographic evidence and an accurate location for it. Despite being a less than appealing day at home five miles away and it was gloriously sunny! Apologies for the phone photos - it was so dull at home I didn't take the camera!

'White worms' Thamnolia vermicularis just below the summit of High Pike.
