Is that the Roaches? When I worked in Nottingham in early 80's we'd blast up to Birchin or Stanage on a summer evening after work for a spot of climbing.
No Pleasley Vale, limestone as opposed to the awesome gritstone slabs of the Roaches. Though the Peak is only a 30min drive from where i am its a bit of a slog on a bike. Was up Birchen just the other day though, my go to crag for easy soloing in glorious evening sun, beautiful views and an escape from stress.
What a sight. I don't do anything but hunker down inside with bevvy when it's thunder-y. I check lightningmaps obsessively because I'm a nutter. Gorgeous pictures!

There be magic down there...can't beat peddling around in salt laden soupy sea mists so thick you can't see your feet and with the sound of foghorns wafting through...then literally bumping into a random cow in the road! love that place and it's pace of life.
