Even though it was freezing cold and very windy, and the sky overcast, so poor light for photography, I went out for a short walk on the Roaches today and took quite a few photos. I didn't take this one myself - I'm in it! - but I liked this one as it gives a good idea of the landscape.
The furthest outcrop you can see is Hen Cloud, as seen in yesterday's photo and I'm standing on the main part of the Roaches, called Five Clouds. It was so windy up there that a gust of windy almost blew me over the edge at one point (in a different spot to where I'm standing here) and boy was it cold - the temperature didn't make it above zero degrees C before we factor in wind chill - but it was great to be out and at Home :)
Great capture of such spectacular scenary, and of course yourself! What a great place you live in with all that nature around you to explore. Well done for braving the elements today, it was cold and dull here.

It is a climb but it's not a difficult one at all - (unless you take a non tourist path and make it so!). I rather wish I wasn't in this shot, it wasn't planned, Dave just snapped me standing there but I thought this one had the best balance of rocks on the left and views to the right - or at least what views there were with the poor visibility.

does it? I'll have to go and google that as I've never heard of him/it!
I've just typed Friedrich's wander in and found it straight away - I see what you mean! His landscape is much more dramatic though!
