243. 18th October. A walk in the woods

It wasn’t the loveliest of days but the Peak District was certainly busy. I went to park in the NT car park by the Grouse Inn but it was full up so I drove north a bit and parked in the Wooden Pole Car Park at the south end of the Longshaw Estate. Downhill through woods to reach the B6521 west of Longshaw Lodge. Loads of people round here. An ice cream van, maybe two. Some people very considerately at pains to socially distance. Some of them, er , not. I followed the path down Padley Gorge till it dropped me back on the B6521 this time just above Grindleford Station. On down this road to the bridge over the Derwent at Grindleford. South from here, the Derwent Valley Heritage Way to Froggat. Through Froggat. Then right up a path that climbs up to the A625 just by the Chequers Inn. Straight over and up, up to Froggatt Edge. Above the path a very agile young woman was trying to get up some nasty looking crack which seemed to be testing her agility to its limit. Up onto the cliff top path and north, past the little stone circle, and back to A625. On this for half a kilometer to a little past the Grouse – there is enough path on side of road to largelty avoid having to walk on it. Now a path heads right to join the driveway to White Edge Lodge and so home.
