Moor Sunshine and Tired Feet

Saturday brought another of those English spring-summer days. Clear milky blue sky, cooling wind and the feel of 20 degrees of perfection. The 272 took us to Fox House Inn where we set out for a few hours of walking.

Passing by Longshaw Lodge we went over the moor to White Edge Lodge and, after ignoring some very large horned beasts which sat chewing what we assumed was their last victim, we strode down to the Grouse Inn for a quick half of amber.

Suitably refreshed, we went through the woods to Grindleford Station and on to Grindleford to pick up the Derwent Valley Heritage Way footpath which took us to Hathersage.

Time for a Rosey before catching the 272 back to Sheffield.

Fantastic weather. Beautiful views. Sun bronzed and knackered. What else would a sane person need? A hot soak and large glass of red!
