For once I wish I took a camera with me on a ride.
On a ride yesterday around Win Hill in the Peaks the Foresters were logging and had cleared a circa 10metre high cut onto the land. This showed a slice of land down (like a piece of cake), the grass, then loose earth, hardening slate (brittle still) then a layer of sold gritstone (probably 1/2meter horizontally), then...... the blackest solid bedrock that I've ever seen- circa 5metres high This only went on for circa 10meters along the cleared trail. Then it shifted to layered gritstone again?
Oily looking stuff- could it be oil!?!!
Shale grit? BGS have a good [url= http://mapapps.bgs.ac.uk/geologyofbritain/home.html ]online map[/url].

Mud stone (arenacous)?
there are hydrocarbons in the Peak associated with the lead mineralisation
Could be Bowland Shale (found an image)- it looked like an enormous piece of this

Did it look grippy enough for you Hora? 🙄
There are no marbles glued into the land in the Peaks. Yes there is mud, some of the cheeky has mud currently but its ****ing fun 😀
