Very nice indeedy
I prefer the composition of the first with the path leading into the frame and the positioning of the pond..... butyou got better mid-ground light on the second.

Very atmospheric, and shot it challenging lighting conditions, so well done indeed ... Is it a compromise without a tripod our filters? Yes, it is, but you've made the most of it, that's what counts!
The second wins out because of the lighting across most of the ground, which pulls the eye right through to the distance. On the first there is really no lighting at all so to speak. Also the sky contrast is too high on the first, with prominent blown highlights and very dark shadows .. This balance is better on the 2nd, but could probably be further improved with a little levels work just on the sky.
Great views over some great landscape!

You must have done the exact same walk as I did a couple of weeks back Drew - Redmires to Stanage Edge across Hallam Moor?
The second one for me is the best, it's a shame you didn't have a Polariser or a ND Grad with you as the results would have been even better. However, the second in particular has bags of atmosphere and is a delight to look at.

I love our part of the world. Very long walk to the beach though
Nothing wrong with clouds as long as some light gets through, well done.
