Morning all,
Some pictures from a walk I did last week along the High Peak Trail - plus a few diversions along the way to Arbor Low, Minninglow and Harboro Rocks. The trail is around 17 miles but those extras and the walk along the canal from Cromford to Matlock Bath bumped it up to just under 24 miles, the furthest I've walked in one day.
It took a day or two for my legs muscles to stop aching but it was worth the additional mileage to visit those ancient sites and to see the views from Harboro Rocks - and for the can of pop and very nice chips I had in Matlock Bath before I got my bus home.
On the trail near Parsley Hay. I started at 7am and I think sunrise was around 8am.
Gib Hill barrow, by Arbor Low.
The distinctive sight of Minninglow in the distance.
Minninglow Embankment - a triumph of pre-Victorian engineering.
Looking north from Harboro Rocks.
Harboro Rocks.
The railway cuttings held onto winter even when the surrounding fields were snow-free.
At High Peak Junction, the southern end of the trail.
As always, there are more pictures and a full trip report here:
