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.

Reservoir based wind speed indicator reads 0 on the beaufort scale.

Lovely evening for a ride, only slightly spoilt by lots of flies.
