Castleton Ridge 3rd March 2012

With Erica and Damien.

Great to get back on the hills after several weekends behind a computer screen.

This was the same route I have done a couple of times before.

Visitors car park - Hollowford road - Lose Hill - Ridge - Mam Tor - Limestone way - Cave Dale.

Erica and Damien trying out some hill walking with a view to the three peaks challenge in June. (26 miles three mountains ....I am not sure)  They were both wearing trainers , so plenty of slips and a few falls. The climb up to Lose hill was hard work after a few weeks of inactivity, and the storm cloud were gathering. Luckily the weather blew over and as you can see from some of the pics , by the time we reached Mam Tor the sun was out. 
The final descent down Cave dale into Castleton was a bit tricky...specially wearing trainers.

Cup of tea and a toasted sandwich in Castleton . Great way to spend a saturday morning




About 6.5 miles OS1 Dark Peak
