Sunday walk

We went for a superb walk yesterday. About twelve miles, so just right for a fine day. We set out from Hathersage in Derbyshire


...and from there climbed up to Stannage Edge under a blue sky


...then past the Redmires Reservoirs where the water level seemed low to me.


Then it was moorland walking past the Ox Stones


...on Burbage Moor and back down into Hathersage to the evocative call of curlews. I have to admit that when absorbing some truly beautiful views, there were times when I wondered why I choose to spend precious time in front of a computer screen.

For most of the year, it is usually warmer.

JH - I thought you were a cyclist? Actually, it's easier to find the time when you are retired. A decent walk takes a big chunk out of your weekend.

SV - well we find summer walking can be a grind - harder work than walking in the pouring rain.
