What a weekend it was! There are some time’s in life when things just all come together to make for the most perfect times. We try to plan for these things, but we are mainly left in the lap of the gods to deliver them all at the same time. Well this last weekend I […]

This last week i‘ve been lucky enough to get out and about again, and like most weeks of late some of this was in the Peak District. However, I have ventured further afield this last week, and that was to help celebrate my friends 60th birthday, and that was in Prestatyn in North Wales.   It’s difficult

I really need to find out exactly how many “edges” there are in The Peak District, so I can keep a tally against that list. What I do have is a list of places I’ve researched and I’m working my way through that methodically. Well in truth, it’s about what takes my fancy on a

If you know The Peak District you will know that there are quite a few edges. I’m not really sure how many there are exactly but I’ve been to a fair few and this last weekend I think I found my favourite. It’s hard to say that really because I’ve been once to each of

As the lockdown starts to ease each week, I find myself going slightly further afield whilst, in my mind staying within the spirit of the current rules. This weekend gone I had absolutely every intention of going back into the Peak District, and I guess I did. It’s fair to say though that I did

I was beginning to think that the summer had been and gone, and to be fair it’s been decent, but that was through the full lockdown. I’m not always a believer in the weather apps and their accuracy but they got it bang on this weekend. Mixture of sun and rain but thankfully much more

I’ve been walking with my friend Steve for a while, mainly to the football I have to admit, but we have started to go walking in the great outdoors. We’ve done a few walks that are mainly from the OS book of circular walks, there are books for walks all over the country, but this

The fantastic summer continues, as well as the lockdown, but we are on the eased measures now which means we can go slightly further afield, but for me this is a maximum of about 25 miles. I guess I am lucky that I live so close to the Peak District, in fact bits of it
