Being Driven Through The Peak District, Derbyshire, 16/05/15.

I can’t drive, which is one of the major factor that directly effects what I write about and photograph, so when my friend and fellow walker Phil kindly offered to drive me down to Edale, in the Derbyshire Peaks, I jumped at the chance!

We drove home via this very impressive pass [the name of which escapes me]. We drove up from where we’d parked the car in Edale, so [if my bearings are correct] that should be Man Tor on the left hand side of the photograph.

If you missed the photographs from the last Mr.B – Phil expedition to the Peak District, you can find them here.

Neither up nor down.

I have got a big birthday coming up this week, so I thought a portrait of myself wouldn’t go a miss. I think my walking companion Om took the photograph, but because Phil’s map was of questionable quality I can’t tell you exactly where this is (it was taken on the way, at any rate). I took a lot of photographs that day, but here are ten of the best:

1. Heading up at a steady pace; looking down at the stream and the sheep on the slopes opposite.

2. Then it starts to get rockier.

3. A popular spot to stop and take in the view.

4. I think my photograph was taken when we got this far. I needed a sit down by then, but I did see a chap running up these rocks!

5. Beautiful.

6. When I first looked at this I couldn’t make out the path at all, but Phil managed to find it!

7. More views worth stopping for.

8. Rocks – by this point I was starting to doubt that there was a “top”.

9. Close.

10. We made it!
