EDALE HERE WE COME! Friday July 01 |
Tim (who drove) and I finally made it up from the Deep South. We left the M1 queues at Alfreton. In this case the side roads proved to be quicker - and certainly more scenic - than the motorway. Through Matlock we went and past Chatsworth House - its impressive appearance completely covered by scaffolding. Were entrance prices suitably reduced? Grindleford and Castleton were next on the agenda. Then we went up Winnats Pass - which sits next to some caverns for the tourists - and so over the top and down to Barber Booth (who thinks up such names?) and Dalehead.
In the evening we went down to the "Cheshire Cheese" in Edale. Good fare, suitably accompanied by local brews, was had by all. A good omen to the Weekend. (My in-pub pictures are too dark - I forgot the flash).
Many Thanks!
