Our walk tomorrow / Today Updated with pics :D

Looks like a fair old walk there Dave I'm sure the two T's will love it

It's only 10km actually so not too bad , only problem is after doing a bit of research just found out I will have to pay £5 to park my car there so we are going to try and do an early start to get there for about 8.30 in the morning and blag a free space Better really as not so warm be hopefully done by 12 taking it nice and steady and home for some beer

Sounds like a plan to me

Looks like a good day planned Dave, hope you all have a fab time.
Is there a pub at all on your way, pics please of your mandatory pint in hand!

There is a pub but I plan on being past it around 10.00am if all goes well , suppose we could always go to the one at the end of the walk instead ( around 12.00 ?? )

Sound like a plan Dave! 12pm just the right time  

I honestly looked at the pic mate and guessed a figure of 9 - 10k's  ... looks a nice route that with the contour lines etc  ... have a good un kid

Steady walk through the valleys mate and Hartington is about 30 mins ish drive from me so all good , according to memory map its about 334 m shy of 10 k

That looks like a great walk, wish we something like that nearer to us. Hope you have a great time  

Sounds fab, enjoy

Didn't you say before you used to visit Ashbourne area Kathy ?? this is just basically to to the left of the Tissington trail . Just actively looking for round routes rather than walk half way and turn around , def going to buy myself a reasonable hand held gps though

Have been on various camping holidays around Peak District area - Hope Valley, Edale and Carsington Water. I love the area so much and want to get back there someday, hopefully even move up there if we can get a homeswap through our housing association. I would move there tomorrow if we could.

Well Kathy if you ever want to live in my shed rent free you are more than welcome

Love the area , almost as good as the lakes , Edale is beautiful and so much interest for everyone with all the caves etc , used to go to Blackwall Plantation caravan club site as my favourite destination as a beautiful place , on the side of Carsington Reservoir and only 40 mins drive with the caravan from home.

if you ever move up here you have a dog walking friend  

Absolutely cracking walk , pics added at beginning of the post , or will be in a minute

EDIT - Post moved to Galleries

You got some lovely shots there Dave, what a beautiful part of the world is it. It looks very similar to Dovedale where hubby and me had a lovely walk along the river Dove a few years ago.

Wow beautiful pics Dave looks like the kids loved it.

Stunning Dave! Well worth the wait I'd say. Must say Tommy is looking rather adult now, looking great Xx

Fab pics Dave, looks like a great walk  

glad you and the kids had a brill walk,pics are gorgeous  

Thanks everyone , chuffed to bits as I picked out the walk from OS Mapping and it was perfect , we arrived in Hartington at about 09.00 and for the 1st 1/3 of the walk ( just over 6 miles ) was all off lead and didn't see a soul , then they went on their long lines and just a few people passing here and there, great views plenty of runarounds for them and would thoroughly recommend anyone in the area taking it as a good day out , took us just about 5 hours but we weren't walking hard and probably had over 1 hour in stops / breaks . It's a lovely part of the world

It looks beautiful and not that far from me! Brilliant pics you've got there, glad you enjoyed it
