This was the perfect start to the New year and a new life (This was the second day of my retirement after over 4 decades hunched over a keyboard with my head in a database or Excel spreadsheet !!)
I think this is the third time I have done this walk and it doesn't disappoint. Over the twelve miles are woodlands, uphill sections, gritstone edges, open moorland and riverside(clough) sections.
I took the same route as previously (clockwise) :-
- Chatsworth
- Baslow
- Baslow Edge (Wellingtons Monument)
- Birchin Edge (Nelson's Monument - Three Ships)
- Robin Hood
- Gibbet Moor
- Chatsworth (Upper Estate)
