A Walk In The Peak District

After basking in unseasonable warm (for Spring), sunny weather for almost two weeks, our luck ran out last weekend for our long-planned meet-up with friends for some walking in the Peak District.

In case you're wondering, the Peak District National Park is found here...


Not to be confused with The Lake District, which is further north!



Wind, rain, hail and then sleet hammered us from all directions most of the way! I didn't bother even taking my camera with, but I did get a few quick shots using my phone...



















A brief ray of light



It's lambing season!

    What a shame, but your photos seem to tell another story. Were you in Dovedale?

      Yes in that area - part of the Tissington Trail (?)

    The English countryside with its green rolling hills, stone walls, small villages and stone churches will always be beautiful. Would love to visit one day
