Yes
Sunday was pretty cold but the friction was perfect for bagging a few routes at Stanage Edge in the Peaks. C+C welcome. All the shots were grabbed as quickly as I could because standing around in that wind was not an option! Most of my mate Steve's "grins" were more like grimaces!

Sadly it was a pretty dull day on the crag - the sun stayed behind the clouds most of the time over Stanage itself whilst bits and bobs of the Hope and Edale Valleys lit up every now and again.
 
Great pics! Takes me back a bit these! Used to spend a lot of time here instructing Cubs, Scouts, Ventures and assorted Leaders. In fact I still have my authorization that runs out this year. Unfortunately, 25 years as a Postie left me with a bad back so don't get to do it no more. Great days!
I have walked the ridge several times and bored to death my two mates with tales of climbing. I did try a quick abseil once at Windgather, when invited, a few months ago, never again! Anyone want to buy some climbing gear?!!!!
By eck I miss it!


I have a photographic memory that was never developed
 
Thanks! Off to Almscliffe in North Yorkshire on Tues so hoping to get few more climbing shots!
 
Some of those are nice compositions and plenty of nice scenes.

Don't know if you have done much processing to these. They do have a hint of the 'HDR' look to them but I wouldn't say it was over done.
