“Well I can safely say we would never have come here…”says W, as, in the East Midlands, far from home, we park the car on an out of the way housing estate. But actually this is quite impressive; we’re walking through woods and then up the side of what used to be a volcano.

At the top, just beyond the trig pillar, peering into its crater, the dust is now emanating from a quarry. Apparently volcanic rock is just the thing for tarmacking roads.

| Quite an impressive "hole"! |
The sun came out as we watched the trucks and diggers charging about like a humungous toy set. I look at the nearby houses and wonder if this might be a good place for a window cleaning business.
