Fantastic morning out walking today with Martin S. The weather at home was cold and foggy and quite miserable. As soon as we got the other side of the Peaks to Buxton, the fog cleared and it was magnificent sunshine!Great 3 hour walk around and up Shining Tor starting from the car park at Errwood Reservoir in the Goyt Valley. First bit got the pulse racing and the lungs highly activated - all conversation stopped! After that relatively gentle walk over the top and back to the car park.
Fabulous sunshine, some wild grouse and some fantastic icicle formations (see the pics).
Afterwards lunch at the Rose and Crown near Wincle on the A54 (it was dead - only us there - wouldn't recommend for the future!).
I concur in every respect, we were well blessed with the weather and location. Excellent pics again chris. I too am keen to loose a good stone, so being lambasted by the landlady for asking for a salad wasn't a good start. I'm still looking for " pint of bitter and salmon and creme freche panini" on my Atkins chart. It must be in the small print "allowable" section.
