20090815 - Rock Breaker

It seemed a bit like the surface of the moon up there. Very strange.
Went for a walk from Gunnderside to the Old Gang lead mine. It was a loooong way - and I set off a bit too late! The weather was, err, 'variable'.

It indeed looks like somewhere on the moon. It's a breathtaking shot with the flat landscape and the lovely cloud formation in the back. Excellent. V

A bit of WD40 and you could have rode it down the hill.

Fabulous.
I thought perhaps you were on some desolate tundra!
