a year on since the opening of the umbrella revolution. things might have quieted down a bit and the government has been as bad as ever, but there is hope, there always is, as long as we fight on on an individual level. a revolution does not have to be an apparent movement of the mass, it can just be you or me making small differences on an everyday basis. stride on, fight on.

Olè taking off. I created this with the help of my cat Monty who insisted on jumping on the keyboard and grabbing the mouse, Of course, as soon as I finished it, he went off to sleep on the ironing board.

Robin Hood's Stride (also known as Mock Beggar's Mansion) is a rock formation on the Limestone Way in Derbyshire close to the village of Elton.
It consists of gritstone boulders deeply seamed by water flows. The two "pinnacles" are Weasel pinnacle (eastern end; Diff) and Inaccessible pinnacle (west; V Diff).

Surely the most interesting way to ascend Helvellyn is via the Lakelands best known edge. Under a threatening sky long term pal and hiking buddy Clyde is seen on one of the smaller pinnacles of the ridge.
Early Halloween spooks, a relatively simple moc with (mostly) well lit photos!
Able to engulf a minifigure whole!
Lovely evening hiking Helvellyn via Striding edge and back down Swirral edge. It was absolutely still not even a whisper of a breeze. Unfortunately the mighty midge was out in force so I didn't hang around up top for long.
July 1992.
When I was working as a teacher I would take a party of school pupils (or should I say students - to use modern parlance?) to the Lake District each July for a weeks hill walking. The highlight for the kids was the climb up Helvellyn via Striding Edge.
Personally I preferred Scafell via Lords Rake and the West Wall Traverse!

This male and two females were striding towards Fourteenth Borehole when we came across them in the Auob riverbed. Already at the waterhole, and resting in the shade, was this male's brother-in-arms.

Very changable skies today from completely overcast to clear blue and here storm-darkened.

The Gerridae are a family of insects in the order Hemiptera, commonly known as water striders, water bugs, pond skaters, water skippers, or jesus bugs. Consistent with the classification of the Gerridae as true bugs (i.e., suborder Heteroptera), gerrids have mouthparts evolved for piercing and sucking, and distinguish themselves by having the unique ability to walk on water. Gerridae, or water striders, are anatomically built to transfer their weight to be able to run on top of the water's surface. As a result, one could likely find water striders present in any pond, river, or lake. Scientists have identified over 1,700 species of gerrids, 10% of them being marine.
