tifftifco2 Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Hi, I have recently moved in to a property in the s26 swallownest area with a striking view out towards the peak district! I am unable to positively identify the rock to the left of the skyline and the rocks/forestry formations o the right which are significantly larger than the rock to the left. I have thought could the rock on the left be roaches rock/ridge? I would love somebody to confirm or inform me of the exact points of reference i am seeing and anyone living in this are i am sure does not need any further information as to what view and rocks etc i am referring too! However i have added this image as a close match if not the rock i believe the one on the left of the horizon to be . THanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vrsaljko Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 I'm fairly sure you're correct in thinking it's The Roaches. The photos online match and have the same orange/brown colour at the base of the cliffs. I'm not sure what's in the distance though unfortunately. It's hard to tell if the horizon is rocks or trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longcol Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 (edited) Baslow Edge? Much closer to Swallownest and in same direction. https://www.google.com/search?q=baslow edge&udm=2&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CBwQtI8BKABqFwoTCOjMjfbv5YUDFQAAAAAdAAAAABAQ&biw=1366&bih=641&dpr=1#vhid=4sqW-JziZuCPMM&vssid=mosaic Edited April 28 by Longcol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SheffieldForum Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Are we missing a photo or something? Not sure how to work this out without seeing what the OP is seeing? Sheffield Forum | The Sheffield Guide | The Sheffield Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The photo shown now is certainly The Roaches area, as this pdf shows (Hen Cloud I think). © Graham Hobster Or here from a slightly different angle https://www.mountain.rescue.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/MREWSafetyAdvice.pdf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't it? So that might not be the actual rock formation being looked at from the actual view?

peak4 Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Wait for a clear day, and add a photo and compass bearing. A long way to pick out Hen Cloud, What elevation are you? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't it? So that might not be the actual rock formation being looked at from the actual view? yes I appreciate that, but I wasn't sure you could see the image at the time, and I'm not sure all other posters picked up on it. Seen from Rother Valley way, wouldn't you be looking over the top of the eastern edges, so I'm guessing a rock formation on top of the moors somewhere. I wonder if there are any other landmarks visible in the right direction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
