Moors around Bakewell (20th March 2011)
Tag: Peak District
The Roaches and Shutlingsloe (23rd January 2011)
For my first local walk of the year, I headed to the western edge of the Peak District for a walk taking in The Roaches, Shutlingsloe and Three Shire Heads. There were certainly lots of people out and about, walking and mountain biking – surprisingly many, given the rather grey weather!

Hayfield, Castleton and Edale (13th November 2010)
Another clear and sunny autumn day was forecast, so I headed up to the High Peak for a long-ish walk starting in Hayfield. My somewhat-unusual route took in Mount Famine, Cave Dale, Castleton, Hollins Cross, Edale, Grindslow Knoll and Kinder Low, racking up over 1300m ascent along the way – unusual for a day in the Peak District!

CUHWC Edale Trip (17th October 2010)
On Sunday we headed to the Dark Peak, where I joined CUHWC for my eighth Edale Trip! As I have done for the last few years, I made a round walk of it by walking over from Hayfield to Edale before the club arrived (well, almost!), with Michael, Emma, Ian and Simon W. I then joined Joe and Tom’s group for the return leg, though I had to descend early to return to Derby for a concert. Mum and Dad did their own circular walk from Hayfield.

Peak District with Duffers (5th-6th December 2009)
Alison proposed a Duffers’ weekend camping in the Dark Peak. I didn’t really fancy camping in December, but drove up both days for walks on Stanage Edge and Mam Tor. Good to catch up with a few people I hadn’t seen for a while!
