With Huihui and Sufang. We parked in Youlgreave and walked down the hill to the river. It was very very hot. It was very very busy The designated swimming area was completely overrun. I say 'designated swimming area' as you're not supposed to swim anywhere else but no one was paying much attention. to that. I have never seen it more mobbed round here. Passing Alport - where we stopped for some ice cream - we headed west along Lathkill Dale which was no less crowded. We escaped by crossing the river and heading uphill to Meadow Place Grange. then south over fields. The two fields before Back Lane were full of cows. And the biggest bull you ever saw. Happily we were extremely brave. Then to Monsal Head for fish and chips. My last walk with Huihui and Sufang before they headed back to China, their Confucius Institute posting to Sheffield over now. I miss them.

A tiny walk but I always wanted to check out Silly Dale because of the splendid name of course. A wander across fields from Foolow to foot of dale there then followed it and track north to road and back to Foolow. It is beautiful round here.

​With Helen. We walked from Garrigill to Alston following the Pennine Way. We stayed on the south side of the Tyne a little longer than the Pennine Way does crossing below Bleagate. I don't really recommend doing this

Another day, another Nuttall. This one is easy the easiest way. You park in Renwick, then you walk up a track that turns into a path that goes to the top. Which I did. It is beautiful around here on a spring day.

I need to give up on Weebly soon, it is very bad and it gets worse. 

With Helen. We drove to Hartington in our respective Peugeots. Finding anywhere to park took ages. Off we went down Wolfscote Dale then left up Biggin Dale. We were heading for Dale End but I screwed up route finding and we found ourselves at Dale Head down the road. Despite Helen asking, Are you sure this is right? Yes, yes, deinifiutely this way, tust me, I assured her, altogether inaccurately. We retraced our steps and headed back by Reynards Lane getting back to Hartington just in time for all the pub to have just stopped serving food.
