To mark the longest day and the nth anniversary of our engagement we spent a few hours at the Croft Hill SSSI.
It's an odd place - the trig-column on the top of the hill is only 128m above sea level, the surrounding land is undeniably flat, and literally within a stone's throw of the top is Croft Quarry, claimed to be the largest man-made hole in Europe. Have a click on this pic and you might see what I mean:

Just in case you didn't get a feel for the scale of the place from that, here are two more pics that should clarify the matter:

The hole
Impressive, eh?
Of course, it's not all about humps and hollows. There's plenty of flora and fauna to see, and a few other odd things too. Photographer and fellow blogger Colin Griffiths visits regularly and he takes some cracking pics of the place.
