HFF,. walking the 'Stanage edge'

Walking the 'Stanage edge' in early May,. or simply 'Stanage' ,.from "stone edge" a gritstone escarpment in the Peak District. Areas were quarried in the past to produce grindstones, and some can still be seen on the hillside—carved, but never removed. A paved packhorse road ran along the top of the edge, and remains of it can be seen. This is a most beautiful walk of which one never tires of revisiting.

It is not evident from the photo that there is a scary sheer drop from where the fence ends.

We share the same thoughts about infinity… the part of uncertainty is important to accept as it is, no gods or organized beliefs needed…

Hi David
A wonderful and interesting picture, which I like very much!
Very nice composition
Great information about the grindstones. It was the same in the slate quarries. Why transport excess material... It's heavy!
