This was a difficult find as I tried to remember the position of a plant I last saw over twelve years ago. I remembered it was on a bank and recalled some stepping stones in the river but not much more. It had to be in Derbyshire where I often walk and so I set out down Chee Dale. After asking some birders, I located the forty four stepping stones in the river where it enters a fairly steep sided gorge and shortly after walked straight past the first of the Ribes alpinum plants which I eventually found. It was a bit windy and quite dark so the photos are a disappointment but at least I now know where the plants are for a better attempt next year.
