Peak District pictures

[rydra_wong]

I hope to write up a proper report on my bouldering trip to the Peak District when I've recovered fully, but in the meantime, I've posted some of the photos to common_nature. Not all climbing-related, but there's a fair dose of gritstone porn.

I don't normally take photos, but I had a tinny little mobile with me in case I broke my ankle, and ended up taking a lot of pictures on it because I thought no-one would believe how incredibly beautiful it was otherwise.

Pretty! I'm afraid you don't get the bonus point for photographing gritstone sheep, as they are hornless :-)

I didn't even know there are special gritstone sheep (what grade do they climb?). But I am chronically urban and think of all sheep as exotic animals anyway. *g*

I think all sheep are more hardcore than me :-)

Likewise!

I kept finding myself apologizing to them. They trot off hastily if you come too close (except when I was wearing the magic Poncho Of Being Less Threatening To Sheep, when they ambled off in a much more leisurely manner), and I always felt awkward about disturbing their grazing time.
