I'm working in Belper at the moment Matty!... It's a beautiful little town isn't it. What's brought you over the border, work or play?

Took these a few years ago - just 2 hours hike from my front door (1/2 hike, 1 & 1/2 ascent - it's a bitch to climb!)

1) On Kinder Scout, sun setting - the view is eastwards to Castleton and the Iron Age hillfort at Mam Tor.

2) The view of Kinder Scout over the reservoir.

Yeah, Derbyshire is pretty lovely... in places.

Ever visited our barbarian forefather brothers and sisters in the Caucasus? Same people, same game.







When illiterate Norman French got lost in Anatolia en route to Antioch and Jerusalem they found what appeared to be a rather familiar society and stayed in its western climes...
