Did we get answers to the photo guidebook caption questions?


and isn't the Harry one "the green door"?

Correct

  


Always loved that Grimer article the turn of phrase comes from. Still use it to this day.

the Jerry one is something like "too warm for a top/shirt".

46 all points of contact

Yup - too warm for a shirt

[tommytwotone]

And the one about "becoming an old fart at the age of 28" - don't think we've had an answer to that one yet have we?


Is it Mecca?

[SamT]

"Who in 1995 was photographed on a route they had first ascended
49 years previously. And what was the route? Half point for each"

Is it Nat Allen? No idea of the route

That could be a Ron route during the "rivalry" with Jerry, something like Masters?

And is Crow 3 stopping off an Axe Edge on her way back to Ashbourne

I thought that one was Joe Brown on Right Unconquerable?


Was on the cover of Summit IIRC...

[SamT]

41) Put these Peak tors in age order, oldest to youngest – Mam Tor, High Tor, Beeston Tor, Cratcliff Tor

High Tor, Beeston, Cratcliff, Mam Tor?

Yeah we thought that too, but it's wrong. Same photographer though.

[mark20]

That was my first guess but the dates don't match up.
Harding on Suicide Wall?

[Bonjoy]

High Tor, Beeston, Cratcliff, Mam Tor?

Nope

The order is guessable by non geologists by thinking about the rock around the crags in question. The peak is a dome with bits eroded out of it, so as a general rule the rocks in the middle and at lower altitude tend to be older. The youngest limestone will be just below the rocks which come straight after (we wont go into unconformities as I picked crags where this wasn't a complicating factor).

[Wood FT]

That was my first guess but the dates don't match up.
Harding on Suicide Wall?

correct, we also thought Joe brown on RU in that classic photo.

[SamT]

yeah - I know its a dome etc - hence lime older than grit.

Beeston, High, Mam, Crat then.

(though I'd have thought that if the shales were younger than the grit) and that they are erroding away very fast geologically speaking. and thus will probably be gone when the grit is still around

More info, please?

[tommytwotone]

Did we get an answer the "body weight in scotch eggs" one?


That must be Pete Whittaker surely.

An old article about White Wand from back in't day before the internet (how can I recall that really easily, yet can't remember anybody's birthdays / kid's names etc?!)...

Nice one, correct. The Mam tor shale is older than the massive crag forming layers of grit. There are younger shales above the grit but these are mostly east or west of the Peak district

[Bonjoy]

Ps The geology lecture wasnt for you really Sam, more a general clue so non geologists would know it could be figured out by deduction.

[SamT]

What about the fossils?  I know you get carboniferous sharks teeth...but not sure if one's been found in the peak..hence I'm plumping for ammonite .. which I think are jurassic.

[andy_e]

Yeah, this one's got me stumped. As far as I'm aware. all of those have some form of creature which lived in the Carboniferous...

[Bonjoy]

I found a fair few shark's teeth from various places in the peak. There's a small quarry near Sheldon that's pretty good for them. I keep meaning to start a geek fossil thread...

Ammonites is correct.
Andy, you get other spiral cephalopods in the carboniferous but not ammonites. This includes nautiloids and the proto-ammonite goniatites. The Ammonoidea group arose in the Devonian, but the ammonitic form i.e. Ammonites didn't shown up until the Permian.

[Nibile]

I found a fair few shark's teeth from various places in the peak.

And at Malham I presume.
