I have now done this excellent walk a few times on my own, but this time I was with my eldest and youngest sons Ben and Rowan. This was our practice hike for next weeks White to Dark Peak trek.

Despite the tooth ache Rowan had from about mid way it was a brilliant hike in perfect walking conditions.
