The Harder group start in Hartington outside the loos where the Medium walk also start. | |
Looking down to the peaceful river | |
Not so, when you get up closer - it's a brown torrent today | |
All three groups have to cross this bridge | |
Not many in the harder group - Tim as well, taking the photo | |
Into Wolfscote Dale | |
Past some amazing rock formations | |
This one has a spiky hairdo! | |
They seem very happy, with Tony leading. | |
The river passes this tree on both sides | |
Picking a path through the wet ground | |
Gorse coming out | |
The bridge to Alstonefield | |
And a climb up the bank | |
Past cattle | |
And lambs | |
To the Green Well, where Tony consults his phone. | |
An idyllic scene - maybe different in the winter! | |
A visit to the church there. Did they spot the lop-sided grin on the creature on the blue kneeler? | |
Tea! | |
Down to Milldale | |
Where people and ducks enjoy the riverside. | |
Stunning scenery | |
But the weather seems to have deteriorated | |
On to Tissington | |
Famous for its Well-dressing. |
