The plan today was to drive to Hollinsclough (off the A515 betwween Ashbourne and Buxton). However, when I got to the T junction from Via Gella, the road was closed. I had a chat with the guys there and they explained it would be closed for the day.
Plan B - A walk at Dovedale.
I headed South on the A515 back towards Ashbourne and turned off towards Dovedale. Before the car park there was space at a layby which I took, and from there , after a short road section headed cross country to Dove Dale.
Meg was in need of water (I had forgot to put a bowl in my rucksack), so we headed for Dovedale first where she could have a dip.

Unplanned walk and a brilliant hill walk practice. Thorpe Cloud may be only 942 ft, but it makes up for that in it's steepness.
Around 3 miles OS OL 24 White Peak.
