Baslow Edge and Birchen Edge

So, yesterday saw us drive over to the village of Curbar in the Peak District - about an hour away from home. After a cloudy start it turned out to be a beautiful cold, crisp day.

We set off walking along the top of Baslow Edge

The rock formation below is known as Eagle Stone

Bar Brook

The woodlands below Gardom's Edge

Spot my hubby! Miles ahead as usual 😄

This was where we stopped for lunch at Gardom's Edge. What a view!

This rock formation is known as Three Men

And this is known as The Three Ships. They have been designated HMS Victory, HMS Defiance and HMS Royal Soverin and each one has the name inscribed into the rock.

 In between leaving the monument above at Birchen Edge and reaching the one below at Eaglestone Flat we had to cross an incredibly wet field. Of course, me being me, I fell flat on my face. No harm done though.

 This is Wellington's monument

And this is Curbar Edge. This should have been our final part of the walk but my back was aching by this point and I didn't think I could manage it so we'll save it for another day.

There were some beautiful looking cows up on Baslow Edge

And finally, it's not been a great walk in the UK if your shoes and trousers don't look like this 😃
