Horsley Castle Jan 21st 2020
This is a lovely local walk apart from the mud bath at Brackley Gate Farm. I'll have to figure out if there is an alternative return route.
A lovely sunny winters day. About 7 miles.

Birchen Edge Jan 10th 2020
Finally opened my account for 2020 with one of my favorite Derbyshire walks (just over a year since I last did this wander).
I really enjoyed this walk but for the last couple of miles I was getting tired.... a definite sign I need to do more to get fit.
An excellent walk. About 12 miles. OS OL24

Shipley Park Circuit 7th Jan 2020
I have been doing lots of variations of this walk over the winter months. This was a bit longer, so I packed dome breakfast and brought my camera along.
Breakfast on Shipley Hill - flask of tea and a sandwich....lovely.
I know this doesn't count as a 'hike' , but it is a brilliant start to a day. No driving, 6.5 miles, breakfast , and back for lunch.
