“God told me if I painted that mountain enough, I could have it.” How Georgia O’Keeffe referred to Cerro Pedernal, in New Mexico, ‘her mountain’. A muse to which she returned and rendered multiple times. Often I am struct by Higger Tor’s similar form and aspect, if not scale or stature. This modest, yet striking plateau is located in the east of our beguiling Dark Peak; skirting the boarder of South Yorkshire and North Derbyshire, seated in the east of the Peak District National Park, a gritstone mini mesa, an Ethel too. Higger Tor is no mountain nor is my depiction a painting, nevertheless, I’m holding to the sentiment; if I draw it enough, could it be mine?

Of the Peak District’s gritstone edges, Gardom’s is lesser known and lightly visited. An intensely atmospheric escarpment, littered with ancient artworks and earthworks, vailed under a cover of birch, moss and bracken. If ‘thin places’ exist Gardom’s may well meet the requirements.
