Went for a around Lud's (or Ludchurch to some) in which I'd never visited, despite working only a few miles away for over a decade earlier in my life.

A fascinating place with a rich which is well worth reading about, and not just about it's use as a safe place to (see the and John Wycliffe for that... britannica.com/topic/Lollards ).

Busy though. Didn't expect the local RC club to be climbing up in the hills!

I had a hospital appt in Sheffield yesterday and rather than drive all the way home (past son's school) and then back to pick him up from big band I had a little peramble on Bamford Edge. Amazed how many people were up there on a Wednesday afternoon in February, but I did manage some nice photos of rocks without people on them.

Hi,
Greetings from sunny Manchester (UK).
The photo is from one of my favourite crags called Stanage in the Peak District National Park.
The type of rock is officially known as Millstone Grit but known by climbers as gritstone or God's Own Rock or The Holy Grit.
The climbers are on Flying Buttress. The easier version goes up the left hand side and the harder one goes directly up over the big overhang.
