Big day, weird rocks

My son and I did recently walked from Edale in the Peak

District, via Kinder Scout,

Bleaklow Hill and Outer Edge to the northern part of Sheffield (Loxley Common) in aid of a Salvation Army project. Our aim was to walk for 750 minutes (12½ hours). Although we’ve both walked around the whole of Kinder Scout, the area east of Bleaklow Head was new to us both. Particularly impressive were the Bleaklow Stones. I wonder how many people have seen these really weird looking stones in the middle of nowhere?

Well, we made it the 26 miles, and have so far raised over £2100. Thank you for such a fascinating magazine. I always look forward to the next good read!
