Rubicon Wall: Water-cum-Jolly Dale

It has been a hectic few days. The good news for me is that I am not developing a degenerative brain disorder as far as the physicians are able to tell. My symptoms of instantaneous memory loss, word loss and a few other odd things, should reverse with time and are confined to an area of my brain affected by the minor stroke I suffered in January. This is quite a relief although many would say they hadn’t noticed any changes at all!

Today, I took a walk near Cressbrook Mill. This scene is taken across the weir at the mill and is looking towards an overhanging wall of limestone known as the Rubicon wall, a poular climbing crag.

This particular section of the river Wye, is rather sweetly known as Water-cum-Jolly Dale.

As I have been away from a computer for the vast majority of the last two days, I have been unable to reply to comments. I will attempt to catch up, but if I can’t get to yours, you can rest assured I have read it and appreciate it very much. Thanks for lifting both Mark my engineer and my eldest son Michael into the Spotlight.
