I've had a brilliant time visiting the Peak District in Derbyshire today for the YouTube channel - and cannot wait to put this up as a video. If you like spooky mines, mineral-filled caves, radioactivity, stunning vistas and a few surprises, this is the video for you.

The waterfall in the River Nent at Nenthead is a significant geological feature, formed by exposures of the Great Limestone. It is particularly notable for its lead- and zinc-rich metasomatic replacement flat mineralization.

I hear you guys like Waterfalls, how about a secret waterfall in Northumberland - so secret that it isn't on any maps!

Amazing what you find searching for Uranium - and did I find any? Stay tuned to find out if I did!

A wonderful day with the learned friends of the North East Geological Society in the ore fields of Weardale discovering all about mineralisation. Leading the expedition was Dr. Brian Young, a rock star in the truest sense. And of course, Burt the Hedgehog was a big hit with his cheerful snozness.

A little tease for my next video - the third and final part of the Carrock Mine adventure. This is a side you don't often see, the 1913 Tungsten buildings on the South of Grainsgill Beck.

Anyone fancy a burger? #uraniumburger

The feeling when you've been looking for the location of something for SIX MONTHS and you finally find it on an old map.

The most radioactive mop in the world? #chernobyl

My next YouTube video requires me to have skills in Premiere Pro. I don't have skills in Premiere Pro. Wish me luck!

How Waterfalls are Formed. Short video, thanks to the amazing waterfall at Brandy Gill, Mungrisdale, Cumbria. The waterfall is the 2nd of two, about half-way up the river.

Radioactive Surprise at Queen’s View: A Scottish Geological Adventure

During a visit to Queen’s View in Pitlochry - one of Scotland’s most iconic lookouts - a routine rock examination turned into an unexpected discovery.

I'm currently holidaying in the Highlands of Scotland and I came across this rock formation whilst sightseeing. The rocks looked like they may be spicy, showing patterns of mica/quartz and haemetite staining on granite. So I whipped out the radiacode and found patches of radioactivity up to 0.30 μS.

All of these minerals are radioactive, such a lovely little visual guide to what they look like. I would love to find a few of these on my travels. Or maybe I have? Subscribe to the YouTube channel (link in bio) to find out.
