They made for the high ground while those in the valleys were oblivious to the gorgeous sunshine just a few hundred feet above them.

Pictures posted on Facebook had expats confessing to feeling a little homesick for the Pennine landscape.

The low lying cloud happened on Saturday and allowed ample time for photographers to get to high ground in order to get the best images of Emley Moor Mast and other structures peeping through the fog.

Huddersfield weatherman Ian Kennedy captured this shot of Castle Hill on Saturday while, inset left, Liz Dobson captured this wonderful view from Scapegoat Hill.

He said that on Saturday around two thirds of Huddersfield was beneath the fog. “Once you are at 800ft there’s brilliant sunshine,” he said. “With valley fog, the cold air is denser and sinks. It sits down on lower ground where colder air has collected overnight.”

He said valley fog occurred a lot in spring and autumn but it usually cleared as the sun warms it up.

Paul is forecasting “benign” weather over the coming days – mostly dry, mild and with variable sunshine. But Wednesday might be breezier.

He added: “It will be a pretty benign start to winter on December 1.”
