I want to show you some of the stones and boulders of Kinder Scout's magnificent plateau. These wind worn boulders take on the look of sculptures done by the master craftsman
Kinder Scout was the venue in in 1932 of a mass trespass when walkers from all walks of life met to protest at being able to walk the byways and paths that went over private land. Many a walker up until this time was badly beat by the keepers when caught on the land they were employed to protect.

Pete: Those are some great wind sulptures. You obviously are allowed to go onto the land. What a great accomplishment.
Those are amazing! The third one looks like a big fat boot.
I was wondering about you and Tom being able to walk over private land. Here, the only public land it is safe to walk on would be in parks. The rest is private farm land and there are signs that say, No Trespassing. Or just 'Keep out' signs.
Abe the law as just changed now. We have something now called the 'Right To Roam' which mean we can more or less walk anywhere.. there are exceptions but any open countryside is free to roam, farmland or not.
Great Nature. Good trekking.
I love the idea of a Right to Roam law! Hmmm. So far, no farmers have chased me off their land here. ;-) I don't think anyone would get away with beating a trespasser up here, but I could probably be prosecuted for trespassing.
Stunning rock formations
What a beautiful, dramatic place. Great photos. The stone formations -do- look like sculptures.
