[2025-06-02] This is Horse Stone at the top of the Upper Derwent Valley in the Peak District. I walked all the way up the valley from kings Tree. Gained the height up Hoar Clough and Shepherds Meeting Stones. Then south down Howden Edge for a bit until I went over to Horse Stone. Then it was back to Links Tree. Quite windy but the sun shone most of the time. A great walk.

[2025-05-28] This is Nelson's monument at Birchen Edge. For a change parked the car at roadside north of Birchen's Edge. Walked down Gardom's Edge, past the Robin Hood Pub and then up Birchen Edge to the monument and the 'Three Ships' rock formation. A lovely late spring day with great views over much of the Peak District

[2025-05-19] Chrome Hill - the Dragon's Back. This is a great walk over the fields of Staffordshire Peak District and climb Chrome Hill. The hill in the front here is PArkhouse Hill which is very loose and very steep [I did not climb it]. But Chrome Hill in the back, I did climb.

[2025-05-08] White Edge sits above Froggatt and Curbar Edges. Walked from the road junction at the north and then up onto the edge and walked along the top to the White Edge trig point. The great advantage of White Edge is the panorama. Sadly not a blue sky day but still great views. A great afternoon walk on the eastern edges of the Peak District.

[2025-04-28] The trig on top of Sir William Hill. The mast opposite can be seen over much of the north east Peak District and so from the trig point there are great views. A great walk up Sir William Hill then over Eyam Moor.

[2025-04-25] A walk up Higgar Tor and then down to Carl Walk. As this was just a short walk, walked down to the main Burbage path - Green Drive - then back up to North Bridge.

[2025-04-24] Ox Stones above Lady Canning Plantation - a trig point witha good view. A walk through Lady Cannings plantation, through the trees first. Then around the wide tracks with great views over Sheffield. Ox stones stands just up from Lady Cannings Plantation and as you would guess, it has a trig point and so a great view.

[2025-04-15] Looking over from Surprise View south over Lawrencefield. A short walk from the Surprise View car park to the view, then down to walk along the bottom of Lawrencefield. The way back is to walk up by the trees of Padley Gorge up past Owler Tor and back.

[2025-04-09] A short walk up from Redmires Reservoir, past Stanedge Pole onto the Edge. As this was a short walk I Just walked around the edge for a short while taking in the views. The sweep of north Stanage never fails to impress.

[2025-03-24] A walk up to Stanage, again from Redmires. This time walked to the edge and then walked south to the trig point, White Path Moss, then to the edge of Stanage with a view down to Burbage. On the way back the grand vista of Stanage is really impressive.

[2025-03-09] Often we walk in daylight, but today walked up to the top of Stanage Edge, from Redmires. Spent time at the top to capture the sunset.

(2025-02-14) A freezing walk up Stanage Edge. The cloud and mist that had been around for a week or so did go, out for a walk along Stange. Not the full length as it was so cold, made worse by the wind. But still a great day to be out.

(2025-02-05) Walking up from Chatsworth House to Chatsworth Edge and back through the grounds. Not a spectacular edge, but some good views.

(2025-02-03) View from the Derwent Edge. Walk from Fairholms. Initially walked around to the east side of the reservoir, then climbed uphill to the edge. A great walk along the edge past the well known rock features to Back Tor, lunch. From here walked to Lost Lad and then down the ridge to get back to Ladybower and around the road to Fairholms.

[2024-12-11] Crook Hill above Ladybower reservoir. A short walk, well it was cold and misty, up to Crook Hill. Started at Ashopton reservoir and straight up. Then along to the forest and down to the reservoir. A pleasant walk along the reservoir shore back to the viaduct.

[2024-12-4] A misty and atmospheric morning in the Hope Valley. Walked from Castleton up to Lose Hill and onto Mam Tor. Mist came and went all the time. Walked back down the broken road rather than attempt Cave Dale on the slippy limestone.
