"The artist...is also a born adventurer. His explorations, unlike those of a tourist, are rewarded by the discovery of beauty spots unmentioned in the guide books, and with tireless curiosity and an exceptional proneness to wonderment, he will come upon objects of remarkable interest overlooked or even shunned by more disciplined observers."

Augustus John, R.A.

Derbyshire Open Arts, New Mills Town Hall 24th - 26th May.

On the road again.. Off to the High Peak District of Derbyshire.



All packed up, it just about all fits in. I really need a van.



Where I've come from.
This is the summit of Holme Moss looking back towards Holmfirth. A typical Spring day on the high Yorkshire Moors. If it was fine there would be a view all down the Holme Valley.



Where I'm going.
Looking down towards Woodhead. The weather could be better.



Lower down the hill, driving out of the cloud and the weather improves slightly. This is Woodhead in Longdendale.



The gig. New Mills Town Hall. In an area of stunning scenery that hither to I've sadly neglected to explore. I'm less than 40 miles from my home and I've  never been here before.


All set up and ready.






The exhibition opens tomorrow at 10.00am and runs until 5pm on Monday. Drop  by and say hello if you are in the area.

Good luck with the show, and it was nice to see the journey to get there.

Thanks Keith.

Turned out to be a very good weekend. The weather could have been better but it fined up for the final day yesterday.
