Wallaby memories The Roaches Peak District.
http://roaches.org.uk/memories5.html
On this page I will publish any memories you have of the Wallabies or Yaks. Contact webmaster. I had been studying the wallabies for 40 years, from 1969 to 2009. One correspondent queries which species. Red-necked Wallaby. But specifically the Tasmanian race. There are still small colonies of the same species on islands in Loch Lomond and on the Isle of Man, but they also turn up in a very wide range of other places: they breed well in captivity, or semi-captivity, but seem quite adept at escaping, too.

Climbing for the Uninitiated The Roaches Peak District.
http://roaches.org.uk/climbing.htm
Climbing for the Uninitiated. There has been Rock climbing on the Roaches since the turn of the 20th century. Access to the rocks was a problem for the early pioneers of the sport according to the book Staffordshire Gritstone by the British Mountaineering Council. Hen Cloud in particular was a problem because our friend Courtney Brocklehurst had armed gamekeepers patrolling the area! They were presumably looking after the game birds and the zoo from whence the wallabies came. Rock climbing has become ver...
