Colourful Edge

13 Dec 2007 120
Stanage Edge, the longest of the Eastern Edges, in the Peak District National Park, Derbyshire. Stanage Edge is comprised of Rivelin Grit (aka Chatsworth Grit), Namurian age, Upper Carboniferous. The coarse-grained gritstone was deposited in a series of delta distributary channels. The gritstone is normally strongly cross-bedded. I loved the colours in the Edge at this point.
