Nevertheless, the implication that the countryside explorer is being granted a favour, even over non-productive land, leaves me a little uneasy. On consulting a thesaurus for an alternative the following suggest themselves: permitted; allowed; negotiated; consented; endorsed; authorised; sanctioned - but my preference is for 'tolerated'.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfC2fpyqcwwF3VpIS_9eyL0JGKsSR6JQxQhfMHjpcL54ok8OweY_Odfu8CyV8i2snvK8VOTscql6NAAKlbGU9-BhmutjZ5VtnTPoVIO0m3brWLkOpeG-hEG8va3YwCttyZbI6QZYX1gtnqdqRtsyqjhPVesBwGCUot95Z4OhvnZP_uSIZ2ggw9kuKNo3dd/s1500/20240226-SUM08393.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="844" data-original-width="1500" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfC2fpyqcwwF3VpIS_9eyL0JGKsSR6JQxQhfMHjpcL54ok8OweY_Odfu8CyV8i2snvK8VOTscql6NAAKlbGU9-BhmutjZ5VtnTPoVIO0m3brWLkOpeG-hEG8va3YwCttyZbI6QZYX1gtnqdqRtsyqjhPVesBwGCUot95Z4OhvnZP_uSIZ2ggw9kuKNo3dd/w640-h360/20240226-SUM08393.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><i>Beyond the limitations of the 'permissive path': sandstone outcrops are easier to discover against winter-suppressed bracken ▲ ▼</i></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUZlbr7BvA4ecWPOT3X6FGs18tvCtPBWSaTkWpRmWlJgVL7GchXCsiNspsqveE5D9BJ8qV34kzJT3Kz2rEOYWQD4bUa38cSbugoEOthr62GfwBZC6nsCIgQ7onYWBQ6EVMmd9OE_CDiPol2xT32yP4GXaYUINKIroNHJ2KN2WDq0ANP0v2ji4Wc8SdiS8v/s1500/20240226-SUM08394.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="937" data-original-width="1500" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUZlbr7BvA4ecWPOT3X6FGs18tvCtPBWSaTkWpRmWlJgVL7GchXCsiNspsqveE5D9BJ8qV34kzJT3Kz2rEOYWQD4bUa38cSbugoEOthr62GfwBZC6nsCIgQ7onYWBQ6EVMmd9OE_CDiPol2xT32yP4GXaYUINKIroNHJ2KN2WDq0ANP0v2ji4Wc8SdiS8v/w640-h400/20240226-SUM08394.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYb5FBA7ga1V8FOUlQn3vR4rpd6j-ZtdQIEzlg0nSZ6sU2ORj-mLx2QU56bbRgBTpKPIv6kfvsrBEfXEG8WvXHu8XzqGDlmg1ngRIwv0FaiQo7kR4HyGHr9QN4PKHzq7zm6-U8TQfkx6BFCz6DL4umbYdi73UQ6S69x9qHg_WVfKIGqfePIv2_rYznLdCm/s1500/20240226-SUM08397.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYb5FBA7ga1V8FOUlQn3vR4rpd6j-ZtdQIEzlg0nSZ6sU2ORj-mLx2QU56bbRgBTpKPIv6kfvsrBEfXEG8WvXHu8XzqGDlmg1ngRIwv0FaiQo7kR4HyGHr9QN4PKHzq7zm6-U8TQfkx6BFCz6DL4umbYdi73UQ6S69x9qHg_WVfKIGqfePIv2_rYznLdCm/s16000/20240226-SUM08397.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><i>The outcrop ▲ at <a href="https://streetmap.co.uk/grid/354881,326943,115" target="_blank"><span style="background-color: #fff2cc; color: #274e13;">Grid Ref.

Nevertheless, I enjoy the short venture into Radlith Wood first crossing the Habberley Brook upstream from The Lyd Hole waterfall <i>(<a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=52.6444&mlon=-2.8662#map=16/52.6444/-2.8662" target="_blank"><span style="background-color: #fff2cc; color: #274e13;">location</span></a>)</i> and crossing back, a little way downstream where the watercourse is referred to as the Pontesford Brook. This change in the name of the brook <i>(perhaps determined by the location of the cascade)</i> allows me the perception that our short walk might be a little longer.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

<div style="text-align: center;">
On first encountering 'summitsup' one might well ask “so, where's the point?”. As is frequently the case in the hills, the most appropriate answer is obliquely "somewhere just over there".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Perhaps it’s an exercise in vanity? That’s as maybe; however, I don’t pretend to be a travel writer and I have tried hard to not produce yet another laboured account of walks in the hills. The hill walkers of the blogosphere seem now to be over-represented by grey-haired men intent on emulating their curmudgeonly guide-book hero Wainwright. It is true, I am a grey-haired Caucasian male but I am anxious to avoid being labelled as of that particular stereotype. Neither is it my intention to provoke with polemics - although the occasional poke at open access issues can in places be detected.<br />
This collection of blog posts is intended simply as a picture diary with some notes. It is hoped to provide friends and dispersed family with a form of contact and serves as a sort of picture index and personal memory aid - something that I find has increasing value. With this end in mind I use a format that can be more readily appreciated when viewed on a desk-top pc screen.<span style="font-variant: small-caps;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-variant: small-caps;">Photos: </span>I very much enjoy taking photos although I can't really rationalise why. What is more it feels rewarding to share or show them - particularly given the convenience of digital processing and communication techniques. Images are much easier to prepare and present than are words for me - the text for this particular blog post has taken me hours spread over days to construct.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If ever I don't have my camera with me I am sure to miss a good photo-opportunity, so I never embark on a walk without one. This means I am building a fairly comprehensive record of where I have been in the hills and the countryside I favour - with the natural tendency towards my home county, Shropshire. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In addition to this blog I use a <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/11502741@N03/albums" target="_blank"><i><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: #990000;">Flickr account</span></i></a> to give access to a number of albums (mainly outdoor activity events) and I am a persistent contributor to The Guardian's community journalism initiative, which has resulted in the print publication of a number of the photos that also appear in this blog.</div>

<span style="font-variant: small-caps;">Annotations and asides </span>(hyperlinks):<div><div style="text-align: justify;">With each post I make sure that a reader can readily identify where I have been with a link to a map and I try to give an impression of what I experienced by including a limited selection of the images I captured on that occasion. In addition, I aim to share related snippets of information from online sources that have taken my interest – such as the historical/archaeological background. However, and to be clear, these illuminations can be somewhat random and I do not claim to adopt an academic rigour.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The presence of a hyperlink is indicated by coloured or shaded text and becomes clear by hovering the mouse cursor and clicking; each link should open in a new window.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Unfortunately, hyperlinks don't always persist. If I become, or am made, aware of such a case, I do what I can to reinstate or substitute the link.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. Whilst I reserve intellectual property rights over the images that I post and make accessible, I tend toward a pragmatic approach in sharing them for legitimate social purposes - but excluding their use for commercial gain without express agreement. To this end my work is licensed under a <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/" target="_blank"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee; color: black;"><i>Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0International License (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0</i></span></a>). If you have a question regarding the possible reuse of an image just contact me via email - charles.leventon{at}btinternet.com (replace {at} with @).<br />
2. Where I have inserted links to other sites and resources provided by third parties, I have done so simply to share additional information on the basis that you might otherwise have come across it yourself. Naturally, I do not have any control over such sites - i.e. in respect of either the content or the terms under which that site and its content is made accessible. In every case the intellectual property of the site’s owner/creator should be fully respected. </div>

<span style="font-variant: small-caps;">Exploration &
navigation: </span>With 1,310 separate posts (as at 6th February 2024) it might be helpful to know that they can be sifted, sorted and searched. It has to be said this is the more straightforward when viewed on a desk-top screen but it is worth taking a few minutes to explore some of the useful features of the blog site. For instance:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li>
<span style="font-variant: small-caps;"><i>Layout.</i> </span>The flipcard calendar style layout <i>(see above)</i> of the home page seems to work appropriately for a diary, with the most recent post being at the top left. However, other formats are available if you prefer - just play with the drop-down towards the very top left of the screen.</li>
<li>
<span style="font-variant: small-caps;"><i>Grouping.</i> </span>Posts can be grouped by label or month of posting - use the buttons 'Date' or 'Label' instead of 'Recent' towards the top left of the home page.</li>
<li>
<span style="font-variant: small-caps;"><i>Labels.</i> </span>Each post is labelled, usually indicating the hill prominence/status (if a hill top is involved) and the geographical region. On the right hand upper part of the home page buttons can be revealed one of which gives the facility to display all the labels, weighted according to the number of associated posts. Clicking on a particular label will yield just those posts that are relevant. Other buttons at the top right give access to the blog archive - a date ordered index, and a 'Pageview Tally'.</li>
<li>
<span style="font-variant: small-caps;"><i>Search.</i> </span>The facility to search can be particularly helpful as it covers all the text of every post. As a demonstration try entering the letters 'SSSI' in the search box at the top right of the screen to see those posts where there is mention of a Site of Special Scientific Interest.</li>

<span style="font-variant: small-caps;">Numbers: </span>‘Blogger Stats’ showed that on 4th February 2024 ‘summitsup’ logged its 350,000th page view. Visits by relatives and friends no doubt form a significant, albeit the minor, proportion. The larger number would seem, however, to have arrived at ‘summitsup’ posts via search engines. Whilst I have not indulged in a deeper analysis I am intrigued to note that search activities have resulted in three posts being the more popular by a clear margin: The Cave on Caer Caradoc (<i><a href="https://www.summitsup.me.uk/2019/01/caer-caradoc-cave.html" target="_blank"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee; color: #660000;">20 January 2019</span></a></i>) followed by Lyd Hole <i>(<a href="https://www.summitsup.me.uk/2020/01/lyd-hole.html" target="_blank"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee; color: #660000;">18 January 2020</span></a>)</i> and The Needle's Eye on The Wrekin <i>(<a href="https://www.summitsup.me.uk/2019/06/the-needles-eye-on-wrekin.html" target="_blank"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee; color: #660000;"><span>2</span>0 June 2019</span></a>)</i>. Whilst occasional spikes in activity can be detected, traffic to 'summitsup' typically runs at a couple of thousand page views per month. I can only assume that the quest to find these Shropshire curiosities accounts for the interest in these particular posts with the cave on Caer Caradoc proving somewhat elusive for some.</div>

Although the footpath shows evidence of regular use the woodland has a rather wild and minimally-managed appearance: trees, reaching for the light, grow tall and straight and there is a significant amount of once shallow-rooted now fallen timber. Interestingly, a small notice explains that a natural flood management project has used some of the woody debris to create engineered log jams across the stream.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The stroll upstream makes for a pleasant approach to the site with rampart remains of an Iron Age Settlement situated on the spur - 70m above the watercourse.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Even though the valley is managed for game shooting, it retains a certain intimacy and secrecy - perhaps imparted by the sense of enclosure beneath the steep slopes rising on either side of the brook and complemented a short distance upstream where it widens to a meadow landscape. It's a place for quiet contemplation that evokes in me a fanciful allusion to Henry David Thoreau's Walden.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">It's not unusual to encounter no one else hereabouts but in recent years more have become aware of the little valley's seasonal snowdrop flourish.
