I parked at Edale and followed the permissive path along and over the railway to join the ROW to Barber Booth. Went west a little from here to pick up the path leading onto Rushup Edge. But now I was confronted with a sign saying my intended path was closed till mid-December. Which put a stop to my planned walk for today. I settled for walking straight up the tarmac onto Mam Tor. There were hawthorn berries everywhere.
Once I got high up there seemed to be quite a lot of traffic on Rushup Edge: maybe the footpath there was not so closed after all; sometimes it is a mistake to obey signs. On to Hollins Cross and down past Peter Barn where an army of people from Buxton Mountain Rescue seemed to be coming to the end of some major operation. A bull stood by the track calmly chewing the cud and watching it all going on.
