More Peak District

15 September 2013 / Camping, Photography, Travel, Walking / camping, coffee, England, iPhone photography, Peak District, tea, walking

We got the tents down this morning and managed to eat our breakfast outside before the rain came along.

Today’s plan was to get some photos and a coffee before heading home. We got the tea, coffee and Derbyshire Oatcakes with bacon at Stocks Cafe, Chapel-en-le-Frith. I’d recommend a visit there to anyone.

Why Stocks Cafe? Here is the answer.

We moved on from there to Blue John Cavern and Edale.

There was a living roof on the Visitor Centre in Edale.

The Kinder Trespass started from Edale in 1932.

Peak District

As the weather was not great, rather than walk in the hills we thought we would go to Bakewell and follow a short section of a walk Diana had sent me. She had watched a television program where Tony Robinson had been walking in the Peak District and exploring the history of the area. Diana had sent me a PDF, she had got from the show website – so we had a plan.

First stop was Bakewell.

We fled from the tourists and walked up to All Saints Church – where we had an excellent tea and home made cake. (Well Richard had coffee!)

Ratatosk – from the Anglo-Saxon Cross in the churchyard.

Then we moved onto Ashford-in-the-Water – where like Branston there is a Sheepwash.

Following lunch by the river we walked up to the Magpie Mine – but using mainly footpaths rather than the suggested road route.

Back at the campsite the evening was nice enough to cook and eat outside.

I had a business meeting this morning – which drastically over-ran and so unexpectedly included an invitation to join the team for lunch.

Camp cooking

27 August 2013 / Camping, Travel / Scotland, tea

I had planned a cashew nut noodle curry for tea tonight – then a Fish and Chip Van turned up at the campsite.

So I had very good haddock and chips, sitting in the back of my car, watching a movie on my iPad.
