Black Rock 5th February 2020

A nice straightforward walk from Cromford Wharf , along the canal , and then up the high Peak trail as far as the Stone Centre, and then returning by the same route with the exception of a loop around Black Rock joining the High Peak trail lower down.

I used my new walking poles fro the first time. They are a big improvement on the cheap and cheerful  poles I have used for years. Lighter and so much easier to quickly adjust. Plus they have the second which are grips below the main grip and allows you to have the poles both the same length but adjust your grip on one pole if (say) walking along the contour of a hill.

A lovely wander in excellent conditions. About 6 miles. OS OL24.
