Today's poet

Here is an early poem about Winnats Pass:

Sullen and vast the Winyates fearful chasm
Yawns on the vale, as if an earthquake’s strength
Had spent itself in one convulsive spasm,
And then subsided – its tremendous length
Cleaving the hill’s deep heart from side to side
In jagged lines . . .
Array’d on either hand
Majestic images of beauty stand
In stately rows – a mimicry of tall
Cathedral, steeple, turret, castle - wall,
And frowning battlements, whose reeling height
Is such that mortals tremble at the sight

Thomas Barlow 1867

John Cooper Clarke 'New Assassin' just been on Gideon Coe

I've got a 10inch clear vinyl live album of his and it's brilliant (and apparently quite collectable).

Winnats Pass is a lovely spot. You really must get down there some time. I've driven it, ran it, walked it, cycled it and sledged it before now.

A lovely part of the world.

They'd love it. There are loads of limestone caves to visit too. Even one with a boat.

And there is also lots of good running.

Castleton and Winnats would be a good day out for the junior freckles it was the standard school geography field trip from my area of the Midlands and it's fascinating
