Todays walk in detail

On a fine, dry but very windy day 11 of us set out from the lovely village of Tideswell. The walk provides lovely views of the Derbyshire countryside. After leaving the village our path took us through fields containing many sheep and  new born lambs, one of which eluded its mother's clutches and was rescued by our intrepid walkers and returned to the fold. We then made our way via the hillside containing veins of lead. Having taken our coffee break here we proceeded  to the villages of Little Hucklow, Great Hucklow and Grindlow. We came across two sports cars way past their best but perhaps worthy of auction on "Bangers and Cash." Lunch was taken just before we reached Wardlow Mires. Having crossed the very busy A6123 we took the path up the steep slope that overlooks Cressbrook Dale. This provided superb views of the valley beneath our feet. We then made our way to the beautiful village of Litton where we saw Morris  performing in front of the "Red Lion." I'm not actually sure if they were Morris dancers but they were dressed in traditional attire of some sort. Then it was back down to Tideswell and time for us to take our refreshments at the "Horse and Jockey". Thank you for coming on the walk. As ever, we had a great day.
