Thank you, folks.
Enjoyed that. Funnily enough many moons ago I used to go rock climbing at Farleton Fell. Small world indeed.

Thank you. A "Like" button like Facebook's would be good on forums, I reckon. |

Thank you.
Most of these firms which allow folks to store / present their own photos leave vast spaces for the captions, I'm pleased to say. Normally I use Picassa, and occasionally Flickr.

Not necessarily. Some pasture can be incredibly biodiverse. Literally hundreds of species - and grazing is what is needed to keep it that way.

But why assume you need to remove livestock entirely from the equation to achieve that? It is merely limiting the types of diversity, hence your diversity isn't as diverse as it could be.
