Nice set #1+2 for me lovely sky and good foreground, #3 In IMO a little over processed and #4 is the weaker of the set, after scrolling down from the others it comes across as rather flat if you know what I mean. Anyway well worth waiting around for and thanks for sharing, I just hope that you had a large enough flask? Is that the reason for you needing to return later on in the day? as that is usually the case for me 
, I always run out of one of the most important items in my camera bag when walking the hills of Snowdonia my flask of tea 
Once again thanks for sharing and look forward to the photos from your return great location

Thanks very much for the input
Interesting that the least processed ones are preferred - but I can see why.
Cheers! Yeah, the heather is looking good.
Matto: I don't really know the area. I just turned off the Leek - Buxton rd.
Thanks Kevin - appreciate you taking the time. No, nothing to do with tea
I hope to get back there this week, but at a better time
Thanks a lot.

Lovely shots Simon, cloud formation in #1 and 2 is fantastic, thats it with clouds never get the same pattern twice...very nice.
Matto....you can see tittesworth reservoir in the background to #1 and 2 so I presume if you turn left half way up the steep bank on the Leek to Buxton road you should find it Ok
Also Google the Roaches Tea Room if you want a nice coffee break with spectacular views

Prefer the mono number 4 of the set, I find the colour ones over-processed and unnaturally dark (particularly the skies), just my taste though.
Have to say also - these were taken at Ramshaw Rocks, not the Roaches - you can just see the southern end of the Roaches on the right of picture 3, quite a way away. I much prefer the view from Ramshaw rocks, if you go right up to the top there is a great view of Hen Cloud, the entire Roaches ridge and Tittesworth reservoir. Makes for a great sunset if you time it right, would recommend taking a torch for the descent though.
