Number 1 – Livvy White – Owler Tor
Every picture tells a story……so went the album title of Rod Stewart's 1973 album of the
same name album title. Which had a load of great songs
on it rather than pictures, but as one of these included Maggie May (the song
not the picture – if there is one), I’ll let Rodders off…
A beautiful spot for walking, climbing and bouldering, Owler
Tor, holds a special place in our hearts for some great times. The shot was
taken on a raw January day, a year following a special bouldering trip on
Christmas day when two bachelors were missing a family and decided to climb on
the hill above Hathersage while the church bells peeled…
Her father, Phil and I bouldered out some of the best
problems in the Peak before a shock phone call to say that some friends had
been robbed all their presents on Xmas Eve.
Pure joy turned to sadness and a
pensive way forward… Olivia has a per ma smile on her boat race these days – how
poignant and beautiful she could be when younger on the hills…the sadness and joy
of the day encompassed in her eyes alone… Her hat was an inspiration and I have one despite the jolly japes - after all - they keep your head warm!
Enjoying the crisp, still and even grit, dad Phil's his boots on a lovely Owler arête.
