Field at the bottom of Coombs Dale
The A623 runs at the other end of the field. The Derwent valley is in the background with Froggatt Edge on the far side.
Footpath and gate above Stoney Middleton
The wooden structures around the gate show some evolutionary randomness.
Middleton Lane
A steeply descending road through Stoney Middleton. The Derwent valley is in the distance.
Hillside above Stoke Brook
The course of Stoke Brook below is obscured by shrubbery. Opposite is Hare Knoll and Calver.
Darlton Quarry
One of several disused quarries in Middleton Dale. The quarry is shaded from the low winter sun but White Edge above Froggatt Edge is glowing in the distance.
Pond by Black Harry Lane
An artificial pond with a concrete base to preserve its environmental benefit.
Retaining wall by Black Harry Lane
The wall must relate to quarrying activity but I am not sure of its exact purpose. It appears to be supporting a barrier screening an area on the top of the ridge above the quarry.
Path off Black Harry Lane
On the plateau on Middleton Moor. The embankment to the right relates to quarrying activity.
Path off Black Harry Lane
The path is crossing the plateau of Middleton Moor, but an artificial embankment has been created on the right relating to quarrying activity.
Grazing land on Middleton Moor
A high plateau of farmland. Longstone Edge is seen in the background, with the quarrying activity on it remarkably well disguised.
Quarry track on Middleton Moor
Broad tracks with debris leave this side of the moor less attractive than the farming side.
Footpath arriving at Cavendish Mill
The sign suggests the official route is through the puddle to the left. The road to the right is guarded by hoses used for squirting at quarry vehicles, but this route was the safer option on this day.
