    Yep, caused when The British Isles and the Americas parted company. The Whinstone Dyke on the Moors dates back from this time too…......best seen at Cliff Rigg quarry!

    I think you should both make a fortune if you colaborate on a book of your excellent photographs. I’ll supply the northern photograhs.
