Excellent. Thanks for buying a copy. Ihope you find it useful. The weather tomorrow looks pretty good actually. We've got a smattering of snow and the low temperature overnight should ensure it's still there in the morning. Just drive carefully. I'm sure it will be a wee bit dodgy coming over...

Thank you for your kind words, Kev, and I really hope that you enjoy using the book. Yes, it's a fair tome with a lot of blood sweat and tears in it but it's done with love. I hope that comes over. Best wishes Chris

One more thought on this - just be aware of the position of the sun. At this time of year, 5pm-ish you'll be looking into the sun to shoot from that position. The sun will get 'round out of the shot by about 8:00pm. Worth checking an ephemeris for precise timing.

Just bear in mind that although the land to the east of the barn is access land - and accessible via a public footpath - the field to the west of the barn, between the barn and roach end, is private land. Plenty to explore in the access section anyway.

A small item of Leica equipment near Great Longstone, just off the Monsal Trail. Contact me if you think it might be yours ....

As I understand it, the ochre comes from periodic sumping caused by heavy rain. It's occasional and sporadic. Most of the time the water runs clear but every now and then coughs up the stuff and deposits it. It clearly adheres to rocks well.
