"21" - not the name of the recent album by English singer-songwriter Adele Adkins but the number of the Pathfinder walk I tackled yesterday - a lovely blue sky sunshiny day. It involved parking in the village of Calver, a long section by the River Derwent and an even longer section along dramatic millstone edges - Baslow, Curbar and Froggatt. Nature called me as I passed "The Bridge Inn" at Curbar so I had to purchase half a pint of bitter and some potato crisps in order to use their "facilities". Resisted the urge to photograph the dinky primary school in Curbar as children were outside playing and you know how it is these days - every man out walking on his own is either a potential murderer or a dirty paedophile Burn him! Burn him! Seven and a half miles and it was meant to take three and a half hours according to the book but I did it in three in spite of my many stops to snap pictures like these:-
