Enjoying the Peak District One Hill At A Time
These images are from a few weeks ago around Cave Dale and Castleton. We forgot all about them until today. The strangely attired fellas are part of the festivities around the Christmas lights in Castle. For more about Cave Dale you can click here.
Stanage Edge is one of our favourite walks, it’s impossible to get lost and can be challenging in the wet and icy conditions so it’s a good one for pushing yourself just as far as you want to go. There is a limit of course […]
Today we took a walk around Carsington water, a 13km circuit that we have already written up here. Our previous visit to Carsington Water was in the summer so the landscape was very different. It wasn’t too cold (around 6-7 degrees for the most part) […]
If you buy a pair of walking boots you can guarantee that they are going to get dirty. After all if they don’t you’re doing something wrong! So there are a number of products on the market that aim to clean up your footwear before […]
We popped over to Chatsworth House the other day to visit the Christmas Market and take a look at the Nutcracker themed Christmas decorations in the house. Great for the kids with many of the staff in costume and a lot of different decorations along […]
We decided to take a walk from Castleton, via Cave Dale and back down Winnats Pass today. It was interesting but quite tiring because of the snow on the tops and the water running down Cave Dale. Not to mention the sub-4 degree temperatures. However […]
Here are some more images from our recent walk on Bamford Edge. It’s a nice walk that gives you great views over the Derwent valley where you can see many of the best known hills and features of the Peak District such as Mam Tor, […]
We decided to climb Grindslow Knoll on one of the warmest days of the year but the following day was even hotter so on reflection I’m glad we did it when we did. J Parking in Edale is always fun as it’s such a busy […]
This is just a few pictures from our walk today on Bamford Edge in the Derbyshire Peak District. The northern end of the edge give you great views over Ladybower Reservoir, Win Hill, Crook Hill and Derwent edge among other landmarks. You’ll also find a […]
I took these today at Tittesworth Reservoir in Staffordshire just south of the Peak District. We were hoping to walk around the entire reservoir but unfortunately Severn Trent Water are currently performing maintenance on the paths, which is great, but stopped us from completing a […]
We took a walk through Curbar Woods to Curbar Edge and Baslow Edge yesterday. That took in Curbar Gap, Eagle Flats, the Eagle Stone and the Wellington Memorial. It was a bit cold but certainly blew the cobwebs away! Even though the weather was a […]
Walking around Litton and Cressbrook Dale is something that I’d been meaning to do for some time. I spent some time there as a child so have very happy memories of the village of Litton. The weather today was a little dull with very occasional […]
