Catch up - Monsal Dale , Curbar Edge , Derwent Edge (February / March 2016)

I haven't posted for a long time and towards the end of last year and the start of this one have not done any significant walks. This was mainly due to all the building work we had done at home and the crappy , wet weather over the winter.

However , I am slowly getting back up to speed.

Monsal Dale - February 2016

With Richard. Same route as previously - Monsal Head - Monsal Dale - Great Shacklow Wood - Ashford in the Water - Monsal Head

OL24 - White Peak - about 8 miles


Curbar Edge - March 2016

Another favorite walk - great for getting some miles on my legs without any navigation issues.
Park at the NT car park and then a anticlockwise circuit of the edges - Baslow Edge - White Edge - Froggat Edge - Curbar Edge. As usual , a lovely walk. At the start for about 10 minutes it was blowing a blizzard - nearly chickened out and turned back. However, it soon blew over and the weather really became quite mild.




OL24 White Peak - about 8 miles


Derwent Edge - March 2016

With Richard

Parked up at one of the layby's near Fairholmes. No signal so I wondered down to the main car park and Richard was waiting there. This was a repeat of last time I met with Richard around here, Along the shores of Ladybower - a short stroll over the bridge on the A57 and then up to Whinstone Lee Tor - along the glorious Derwent Edge - Back Tor - Lost Lad - Back down to the shores of Ladybower - short stroll arond the southern end of Derwent res - back to the car.

Brilliant walk - as usual !!





OL1 Dark Peak - About 9 Miles
