Rain over Millstone Edge and the Derwent valley
A wet and blustery day, with rain and low clouds driven on a strong westerly wind, scudding over the gritstone edges at the eastern side of the Peak District National Park.
The prominent escarpment edge in the centre is Millstone Edge, comprised of the Chatsworth Grit (Namurian age), partly quarried in the past for millstones and grindstones, hence its name. Now popular with climbers. The rocky tor on the left is Over Owler Tor.
Not really a day to be out and about on the moors. I took this from the shelter of my car!
