The Mollusc - AKA "Chesterfield Snail"

Image
Last week I decided to pop along and take a look at the Mollusc, based on the edge of Chesterfield in a small park by a housing estate. Originally I wanted to be there for sunset, but when I went by, there were a fair few kids playing football on the park. Not wanting to either be hassled, or have parents come out, I decided to leave it. So I went back later in the afternoon - fully expecting it to be busy. Other than 1 dog walker, who left after about 5 minutes, I was all on my own.

Quick Trip To The Black Rocks

Image
Last weekend I decided to pop up to the Black Rocks at Cromford, Derbyshire (just outside Matlock). Anyway, due to nodding of whilst catching up on some soaps, I only caught a little of what was left of the golden hour. So, I decided to pop back up this week seeing as I was off work and expected to be fewer people around. Well I was right, and to make things better, it was a sunny day with minimal cloud coverage. The downside - the sun was behind the rocks which lead to some blown out footage. Here is the best I could get (although not sure quiet how it ended up being a vlog style video - that wasn't the original intention). Anyway, after that rather unsuccessful attempt, I will be taking another trip back - but the next time in the later part of the day. Unfortunately it now probably won't be until the end of October when I have another week off work. Chances are the weather will be pants, but hey, I'll have 5 days to have a try.
