G uild vice-president Roly Smith is currently working on a new book about his home patch of the Peak District with local photographer Chris Gilbert. This one will be looking at the Peak’s fabled Seven Wonders, first expounded in the 17th century by writers like Thomas Hobbes and Charles Cotton, and Roly comes up with some new man-made, wildlife and natural ones. “They are very personal and subjective listings,” says Roly, “but I hope it will encourage readers to come up with their own.” Meanwhile, he continues with his regular magazine and editing work.
