Day
1: Morning A pleasant cloudscape greets me as I awake. A promising start to the day. |
 |
Peace
& Quiet Lovely, I've got the whole campsite to myself. If only it could stay that way. |
 |
Mam Tor The next day's objective. The main feature on "The Great Ridge". |
 |
Ringing
Roger An outcrop on the edge of Kinder Scout. |
 |
Gordon Raring to go, at the bottom of Grindsbrook Clough. Unfortunately it's become somewhat overcast now. |
 |
Paul Approaching the steep bit at the top of Grindsbrook Clough. Getting quite rough now. |
 |
Grindsbrook
Clough The top of the clough, where it splits into two. Our path follows the gully to the left, and the sun has decided to return. |
 |
Interesting
Gritstone The first good rock we encountered on reaching the edge of the Kinder plateau. We stopped for a quick bite to eat next to this graffiti covered rock. |
 |
Dry Waterfall At the top of northern gully of Grindsbrook Clough. |

More Gritstone. Rock formations around the north gully. |

 |
Madwoman's
Stones Ian stands proudly on top of the steep rock while Gordon surveys the area with his GPS. |

Roy and
Ian in the Pub This photo was taken with no flash and a slow shutter speed. I expected a blurred arty shot, but to my surprise everyone kept still. |
