Day 4, Youlgreave

Details
Hits: 4403

Lovely sunny day again, went over to Carsington Water along yet more roads which were 'closed'.

Had ice-creams here, Andy loved them and is now known as 'two scoops' Summers.

 

We went over to Wirksworth for lunch and to do the shopping, Calum sniffed out a cafe with aircon and bike parking, he's now known as the 'cafe whisperer'.

Went up a big hill fo Middleham Top past the National Stone Centre then took High Peak Trail to Parsley Hay. From there it's an easy run down to Youlgreave.

I made a pie for dinner, yum.

Rain through the night which had stopped by the time we were on the road, blue skies and hot again.

After elevenses we went to the Old House Museum, it turns out this is far better than we expected and we were there for several hours.

Lunch in town and then a delay getting back to the hostel, road blocked by bad parking on a bus route resulting in a lot of slow reversing.

Went out for dinners and beer in the evening.

Sunny again as we started to split up. Calum and Trevor heading back to Ilam Hall, the rest to Ravenstor.

 

 

We explored the Monsal trail and photographed tunnels.

 

 

After arriving early at Ravenstor we went down Bellamy's Bank to walk along the river.
