Up in the hills above Edale. I made the mistake of riding up Winnat's Pass today, it wasn't fun as anyone who knows it will understand!

I'm messing around with that kind of stuff at the moment. Here's a few from today (familiar scenery no doubt). Being a student i have the ubiquitous illness we all seem to get this time of year, so riding is limited :( . Damn the freshers!
