Run To The Hills



We awoke on Saturday morning early, brewed a super strong pot of coffee and I passed M our list of things we wanted to do in England, and told her to take her pick. Shall we go to Edale? Yes, let's go there!

So off we went out of the house and headed off to Derbyshire to check out the Peak District and the start of the famous Pennine Way hike (which actually crosses Hadrians Wall) We took the train and ooh'ed and arrgh'ed at the lovely hills. We got of the train and walked around the country roads headed for the village. The light was fantastic, mix of sun and cloud casting large shadows onto the hillsides. We passed many RAMBLERS (the English equivelent of hikers).

We headed up into the hills ourselves and took a bunch of photos, saw a lot of sheep. When it started to get cold we headed down into the village for to a 17th Century pub for lunch and tasty pint of beer by the warm fire. Nice!

The Peak District is around 40 miles East of Manchester and is part of the Penines. Very large hills spanning the back bone of England. Named by the Romans after their very own Appenine Mountains than span Italys backbone! It's very wilderness like and untouched.
