Hoodoo You Think You Are!?


On Sunday we Went for a hike down to some Hoodoos....
Hoodoos are fun.

So, What in Hell's Creation is a Hoodoo you ask?
....Well, "A hoodoo is a rock formation which is caused by differential resistance to erosion. This means that some parts of the hoodoo are harder than others and these hard parts last longer. In the hoodoos above, the tops are the hardest part and they protect the soft rock below from wearing away".

Wow! Canada looks cool. I live by the Malvern Hills in Worcestershire. People come from all around to see them/ Compared to your snaps though, the Malverns are rubbish.

oh nice Herge!
I went on a day trip to the Malvern Hills and area when I was in England last time and it is in fact very scenic there. My grandparents live just a little north of Cheltenham, so I did a lot of exploring the Midlands. I remember specifically how nice it was when we went around Simmonds Yat ( I think thats how you spell it) as well.

Hands Down, the best part about the scenery in England is the stone fences go on for miles or seeing a thatched roof house and thinking of all the hundreds of generations of people who possibly had been standing in the same spot as you.
