Todays walk in detail

The weather forecast was none too promising but 15 intrepid walkers set out from Baslow car park on a Sunday in early July taking the initially flat path past the imposing splendour of Chatsworth House. As it turned out, apart from the occasional shower, the weather held out, although the heat from recent days seemed  a distant memory. The coffee break was taken shortly before the steep climb from Rowsley and it was then on to Manners wood, Calton pastures etc. before gaining the panoramic view which featured Chatsworth House again. This was a fitting place to take the lunch break and the journey was concluded via Edensor and a return to the car park. Welcome to Sue joining the walk for the first time and my thanks to Roy for acting as backmarker. It was great that all 15 of us enjoyed the hospitality of the "George and Dragon" afterwards.
