Clive the flying ostrich: Amateur Polymath | Chief Heretic. Started conversation Jun 5, 2012
For the bank Holiday weekend I assiduously ignored all matters pertaining to monarchy and departed Cambridge to return back to see my family and be in my 'spiritual home' of The Peak District and Derbyshire.
Have wanted to practice photographing long exposures of flowing water for ages - to get a feel for doing it right.
This has proven impossible in Cambridge; a flat-land where the water dies not flow - it ambles ... sedately, like an arthritic sloth on a Wednesday afternoon coming back from the pub.
So day one after getting back I headed out into the hills beyond Chesterfield with my camera and tripod to the town of Grindleford, The Longshaw Estate, to a little hewn-valley I know, where the water does flow downhill and in spectacular fashion!

Southwold or Aldeborugh, but I'm also interested in seeing if I can get access to Benacre or Covehithe - I have inquiries in with Suffolk County Council as I type!
