Steve and Steff's Honeymoon trek

Weekend Walkies

Well after mentioning all those lovely mountains in Cumbria, we woke up late and went to the Peak District instead. We spent the afternoon wandering around Bleaklow.

I have very mixed feeling about walking in the Peak District. On the one hand it is a very beautiful area. On the other it is very popular and consequently has terrible erosion problems. You cannot walk on peat moorland without helping to destroy it. Parts of the top of Bleaklow looks like the battle of the Somme has been transplanted on top of it.

One good thing about the weekend’s walk – my GPS is in for repair at the moment and I didn’t get us lost. I couldn’t find the footpath we wanted – the erosion took care of that – but I knew exactly where we where.

I must find out how to put photos on here; Geoff usually sorts that bit out…
