Sounds a bit as if it should star Sid James :)

This walk started higher than the previous and you can see was a lot different vegetation wise, Chad has already Id'd some of the plants so I won't repeat them here but they were all from this higher altitude.

Even though we were very high there always seemed to be somewhere higher, and if there was a road or track land would have been leveled off for growing

Although I dont rate this Geranium canariensis as highly as G palmatum I certainly wouldn't object to it being in my garden!

Right on top of the ridge line was like something from Lord of the Rings

Finally journeys end for a beer and the Bus home, as you can see a lot wetter up higher

Nice pics Charlie.

I think a fortune awaits the person who invents a hand held plant identifier. You just tough the leaf, and it takes a DNA sample, analyses it, and tells you the exact identification.

I love the Sonchus congestus in the first picture. Chad (many thanks) send me some seed a while ago and I have one up to about 4 feet. Everyone else hates it but I love it. :lol:

either that or it must be possible to take a photo with your phone of the leaf and flower and it makes suggestions based on your location. Not too hard to do that.

Something for everyone there. Makes you realise how flat most of the UK is as well :lol:
