Todays walk in detail

A perfect day for walking with hill mist burning off just as we got there. Thirteen of us set off from Rowsley towards Chatsworth following the River valley prior to the long climb to the pastures above Bakewell which were stunning with long clear views in any direction. A steep clamber then took us to Bakewell where we mingled with ducks and tourists at meal break. We followed the river down towards Haddon Hall where we had a short climb before walking back to Rowsley. As usual distances varied between 9 to 10 miles. Many thanks to such fun, kind and supportive group of real friends.
