Our grand day out.
« on: 22:36:25, 13/09/09 »
Hi guys

Today Linz and I went to Ladybower and had a great days walking. Started out at the south dam near the pub, then made our way north via the car park with the big wooden chair. From there we carried on up to The Ladybower Inn and Then made our way up to Cut throat bridge then up onto the tops. I'm not to sure about the names of the rock formations we found on our travels but i am sure you can tell me from the pictures. Getting to lost lad cairne we got slightly confused on which way to go. We asked a couple of walkers and they happily pointed us in the right direction. We followed there directions apart from when we got down off the moors onto the road we turned right instead of left. We had to walk right round to the cafe and then back down to the bridge  and as we was walking from the cafe  we saw the 2 guys who helped us. He said " erm you should be on that side not this side" we had a laugh and a joke about how we went wrong and then we made our way to the car. I think we covered about 13 miles and with this being our first outing in years, we both feel the pain now.

Anyway here are the pictures we took on our way, they are all in order so please add your comments.

Oh yes I think we will be going back there soon. I would like to go the other side and see what’s there.
But i think we will leave it for a few weeks as we are both finding it really hard to walk today. I am really pleased with the photos too, we only have an old pentax camera now and its not the best in the world but it did the trick for us.

I'm sure it will of raised a wry smile with many a forum reader!

13 miles around Ladybower ain't bad for a first outing, good on you both.
We'll look foward to seeing more reports!
