Peak District Glaciation
July 18, 2013, 08:31:18 am
In a professional capacity I stumbled across this the other day - thought some on here might find it interesting... I've never paid much attention to whether the Peak was glaciated or not - looks like it was a tad...

O/T

I was out bouldering at apparent north last autumn when two middle aged gents walked by in hiking gear discussing some managerial health and safety qualification. I heard the older point out to the younger "look, there's some millstones"

The younger responded "oh right, were those deposited by a glaciar then?"

All we need to do is set off enough volcanoes and we could alpine climbing on Kinder. (An actual suggestion for combating global warming)

I'm shit at cave science but afaik the glaciation is a reason for peak caves being full of really fine grained mud...
