Walk Derwent Edge, Back Tor and Lost Lad.

 This is the walk I did on Sunday 8th October 2023. Starting and finishing at Ashopton.

Setting off early morning on a Sunday gave me the chance to park on the side of the road at Ashopton. Great the disadvantage was that when I got up onto Derwent Edge I was in cloud. Couldn't see a thing! 

Of course when I got back down to Derwent reservoir and looking back, the cloud had gone and there was bright sunshine on the tops. 

Any way check out my cool video, below, of the view from Derwent Edge.

All in all though a great walk and thoroughly recommended,

Don't Throw Yourself Down The Stairs.

Friday 11th August 2023 is a night I won't forget in a hurry!

The day itself was quite unremarkable after a lovely evening walk around Wentworth the day before. Jane and I went shopping and out for a short walk, so what happened?

Well, nothing much on telly in the evening so we decided on an early night.

I spent a couple of hours on the computer until I was tired switched everything off and made my way, in the dark, to the bedroom. Or so I thought! Instead of going into the bedroom I stepped off the top stair and went head over heels down the stairs, cursing as I fell.

Luckily no bones were broken although there was a fair bit of blood around. Whoops!

On a brighter note here are a couple of pictures of Wentworth.
