On the cusp of Auntum it's quite difficult to predict what the forecast is going to do one day to the next more so after another unsettled week I spotted a weather window in the Peak District and decided to act on it.
Between our weekly catch up emails between myself, David and Rod, Rod mentioned "wow two consecutive walks in the Peak District, have you fell out with the Lakes" or similar words to that affect, my reply was I was chasing the better forecast although I must admit, two weeks on the run walking in the Peak District is normally unheard off and that isn't to say I've missed the lakes terribly.
Todays walk choice is Derwent Edge from Ladybower Reservoir which is new walking territory so I researched the route from back to front as I would any route I haven't walked before and by doing this I was able to relax more and enjoy my surroundings where it would be fair to say, Derwent Edge on the a day like I had today blew me away. |
