Jacobs Ladder, Derbyshire

This was a day I got soaked, climbing up Jacobs Ladder to Kinder Scout, the highest peak in Derbyshire. It was up here that in 1932, people fought with landowners for a right to roam in wild places in England. I'm glad they did, for it is a beautiful, wild, and sometimes dangerous place to wander in, especially in winter.
