Water Cum Jolly
Today was a great day. What started off as an ordinary dog walk turned into a bit of an adventure. I started off at Millers Dale carpark and decided to walk along the Monsal trail towards Litton Mill. I had the ideas that I would walk through the tunnels as far as Cressbrook and and then turn down towards Cressbrook Mill and walk back along the riverside towards Millers Dale rejoining the Monsal Trail at Litton Mill. This great plan went pear shaped as soon as I tried to join the waterside path at Cressbrook Mill – it was completely flooded and I didn’t fancy swimming with the ducks, which was the only way I was going to be able to stick to my planned route. Time for plan B! With my trusty IPhone, I managed to navigate a way round on the roads. Sadly it was much longer but I managed to find a new footpath which led me down slackside. Unfortunately it was pretty slippy and I managed to end up on my backside sliding down slackside. (now that’s not any easy thing to say)!
Anyhow, really pleased I’ve managed to find some new paths as I can now link these up with ones that I already know around Millers Dale. Check out the OS map no 24 for the White Peak if you want to see where I walked.
Bye for now….
