Summiting Mam Tor

[John Holland]

During my visit to the UK, some friends took me around the Sheffield and Peaks District. One stop for the day was Mam Tor (its name means "mother hill"). It was the home for ancient Celtics over 3,000 years ago, and a fort was built on the summit. Today there is just a pedestal at the summit. The day we walked up Mam Tor (517 meters - 1,696 feet) it was very windy. So much that standing still was not an option - getting knocked down and blown off the hill was a good possibility.

I've not heard of the place before but that's a fine shot of the ascent - a very pleasing composition indeed.

The end is in sight! That is a fine image.
