PLOG (Paul’s Log):

Yeah! Spring is coming, the clocks are jumping forwards, daffodils, tulips, snowdrops are poking out of the ground and SAD syndrome will soon be behind me!  Sorry, I got muddled up there. 

I love snow – when it comes, and when it came on Saturday at 2pm on the dot, I was ecstatic!  Saturday evening heavy snow, Sunday perfect sledging and playing conditions, Monday, roads clear for getting where I needed to be!  RESULT!

Anyway, Will’s Blog, which is proving popular, sees his take on the snow, on page 70.

So, in this edition we feature the River Hipper – a facet in S40 that I’ve never really thought about, that is, until I was approached by a reader who’d met someone doing a research project into it.  Iain McGregor and his son are passionate about The River Hipper, and that passion is pretty contagious – so I met with Iain to find out a bit more – you can see what you think on page 46.

This month’s cover shot was sent in from Andrew Evans.  Andrew runs Photography for beginners Courses, based in various locations in the Peak District, they’re friendly, informal and practical. If you want to go along please see Andrew’s website at www.f22images.co.uk.

I hope you enjoy this edition, if you’ve anything you’d like to share with the rest of the community, you’ve a photo for the cover or you just want to get in touch, please do, on the contact details shown on the right.

Paul.
