Wild Peak
"The Wild Peak is an ambitious rewilding initiative led by Derbyshire Wildlife Trust that includes all of the Peak District that falls within the Derbyshire boundary as well as an urban connection zone. The Wild Peak is building a network of places, people, and projects that are working together to implement a landscape-scale, nature-led approach to nature’s recovery."

“Shining Tor, Windgather Rocks, and Thursbitch.”
What names! I can feel the majestic solitude and eerie folkloric aura from here.

Stairway To Heaven :-)
A series of steps at the National Stone Centre, Wirksworth, demonstrating important UK rock types (see Alt Text). It resembles a staircase, with a dark tunnel at the top leading into light... like a near death experience... hence, Stairway To Heaven.
There are also wonderful examples of dry stone walling from all around the country. I half expected to bump into @kristiedegaris or @Ivor. A good day-out!

Red kite and 3 ravens at Stanage End this morning.

I've said something like this on here before, but the fact this is one of the routes I can walk home from a quick run to Lidl nowadays always blows me away a little bit.

"Thornhill Carr is a brilliant example of rewilding. This 30 hectare area of former farmland is a unique site, rare within The Peak District National Park for its unmanaged wildness. It is currently home to a fantastic array of wild woodland, scrub, beautiful wildflower meadows and a large family of badgers."

The Roaches are a dramatic rocky ridge on the far western side of the #PeakDistrict but in #Staffordshire. At their highest point, they rise to 1657ft (505m), well above the surrounding area and so give a fantastic view all along their length.

I am in Manchester for a conference, but had the day off today, so I took the Brompton out for a ride in the Peak District.
I was already out in the Peak District with the Brompton last year (a strange coincidence has led me three times to the North of England within a year), but last time riding out from Sheffield.
I had a cool route planned, but turns out even this rainy country is plagued by wildfires and I had to reroute significantly because there were bridleways closed due to a still smoldering peat fire. I ended up not getting as deep into the Peak District as I wanted, instead pushing my bike up some steep walking paths and being stung by a thousand nettles.
But it was still nice, I got to enjoy a day in the wind and weather, soaking in the colors of this region. Plus, I ended up riding back into Manchester along the Peak Forest Canal, which is just a mind-boggling edifice. An absolute wonder of the industrial era.#cyling #peakdistrict #peakdistrictfire #brompton #bromptongline

Reservoir based wind speed indicator reads 0 on the beaufort scale.
Lovely evening for a ride, only slightly spoilt by lots of flies.
