Parked at Fairholmes Car Park at the bottom of Derwent resevoir. We (me and son Jake) started around mid morning.
We walked along the Western edge of Ladybower up to the A57. Short stretch on the road across the bridge and then off the road at Ashopton, through the woods up to Whinstone Lee. It is a short sharp climb but fairly quickly you are on the edge with a fantastic panoramic view of Ladybower , Win Hill, Mam Tor, Kinder and Bleaklow. We walked along to the Wheel Stones and had some lunch. Just before Back Tor we dropped down off the ridge and headed for Derwent resevoir. At one point Jake was convinced we were lost as we couldn't see the Resevoir. From that sid it is quite well hidden and you don't see it until you are right on top of it.
We walked back along the edge of derwent res, and just before we got to the side of the dam there was a photograper with two drop dead gorgeous models doing a photo shoot !! There was a couple of cyclist who quite unashamedly had stopped, got of thier bikes and were enjoying the scenery .
A great day in glorious sunshine.
