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. 

With Huihui. The old favourite, Park Bakewell. Up through the alpaca field and over the golf course onto Calton Pasture. Up top the little tarn and down the other side. Through New Piece Wood to Edensor. Follow Derwent through Chatsworth Park to Calton Lees. Back up to Calton Houses and so back over pasture and home.

With Jingbo. A goodbye to Jingbo walk after some happy years supervising his PhD. We walked over Over Owler Tor, Higger Tor and Carl Wark.

With Bella. We parked in Grindleford by the church. We followed the lovely path up the valley to Froggatt.Then a steep climb up the hill, post the Chequers Inn and up towards Froggatt Edge. But turned off left before we got there on the path that contours along. This for a bit then down for a bit to pick up the path that heads diagonally down through the woods and so back to Grindleford.

Another little walk. There is plenty same to park just east of the easternmost of Redmires reservoirs where the road does a sharp right angle and the map shows a 326m spot height. From here I walked to Stanage Pole. Then I walked back.   

If you live in Sheffield and you want to get some exercise in the Peak District but accent got all day., the steep eastern slopes of Win Hill are the place to go. A brutally steep way up a little hill makes for a nice short but sharpish workout. I parked in the car park by the public loo on the A6103, crossed the dam and headed straight up very steeply on a tiny path got meet a track that contoured south to put me on the main path up which took ne quickly to the top. Down through the woods tho the north and round the side of the reservoir back to the dam. .

Nothing like a little lockdown to prompt a bit of exploring closer to home. I walked from Malin Bridge, a stone'sthropw for where I live, to Damflask reservoir along the south side of the River Loxley, back along the north. On 11th March 1864 the dam at Damflask broke and a catastrophic flood made its way down here top devastate a sizeable chunk of Sheffield.  The path pf the south was muddy. Unrelentingly and extremely. The north side has been designated an 'easy going trail' bt the Council, with good paths and no stiles so it is doable in a wheelchair and plenty places to stop and rest. All very civilised.
