Not much of a PSA but might be worth a watch for Peak District fans - and there's Ellie of course 😉

I dont get the Ellie thing, she looks like a cabbage patch doll and walks like she's just had a hysterectomy.

Not really, although I didn't realise the White Peak was an ex coral reef. Rode Coombs Dale yeaterday as a descent on your recommendation btw Jekkyl, was a giggle if a tad moist. Road climb back towards Black Harry was nasty though!

I absolutely loved the etched OS maps.

I want one. Does anyone know who the artist is? I missed the start of the feature, and all the Countryfile site says is

[i]Ellie is in the Dark Peak, where it's gritstone that marks out the landscape. She takes a walk with an artist who maps the land and creates three-dimensional maps in metal[/i]

Edit: Seen the prices? Blimey!

Thats because you've got magic fingers though 😛

Fanks! Blimey! They're only 20 quid! I was expecting them to be a hell of a lot more than that!

Just ordered one of Skiddaw 😀

You're welcome Cnud, should have gone back up Coombs dale! There is a series of beautiful crystal blue pools at the side of the track and that seems to fit with ex coral reef.
