Dewent Edge 21st April 2014

A day off from Greenhouse construction.....whoop whoop.

This walk was a longer variation to the one I have done before. It was slightly longer in that I continued on after back tor onto Lost Lad and down to the top end of  the upper Derwent Reservoir.

I parked at the first (free)car park alongside Ladybower. The route from there was :-

A57 - Ladybower Bridge
Whinstone Lee Tor
Derwent Edge
Back Tor
Lost Lad
Upper Derwent Reservoir
Derwent Dam
Fairholmes
Back along Ladybower to the car



Salt Cellar



Cakes of Bread

Lost Lad



A fantastic varied walk. A nice flat bit to start and end the walk. a decent climb up to Whinstone Lee Tor, and a magnificent walk along Derwent Edge with superb views.

About 10 Miles OS OL 1 Dark Peak
