| We set off from the HF Peveril of the Peak house, bypassing Thorpe Cloud ahead | |
| And descend Lindale | |
| To the stepping stones which people are crossing in trainers (compare this with pictures of the medium walk on the last day) | |
| This tree has interesting fungus | |
| Turkey tails, Sue tells us | |
| Hammering coins into wood seems popular here | |
| Dovedale is full of reef limestone which wears well, leaving many interesting shapes. | |
| This is Reynard's Cave | |
| The River Dove trickles gently along (see pictures of the medium walk on the last day) | |
| Lionshead Rock | |
| Ilam Rock | |
| We stop for coffee in Milldale | |
| Then zigzag up | |
| A typical view of small fields and dry stone walls | |
| The River Dove forms a hairpin beneath us and was modified to improve the fishing. This is home to Izaak Walton and The Complete Angler. | |
| We descend into Tissington. This is Hall Well, one of the 6 wells that are dressed by pressing flowers and other organic material into clay during Ascension Week. About 50,000 people visit this village for the well-dressing. It was busy enough on the sunny Sunday we were there! | |
| A group photo | |
| We return to the hotel and another view of Thorpe Cloud. |
