Decided to do something a bit different today. Had thought about doing a really long walk, but then had a lie in! Finally decided to park at the Blue John Caverns and walk along Rushop Edge. It's a long time since I've walked in that direction, usually favouring Mam Tor.
Walked along Rushop Edge, down the lane to Perryfoot, along past Eldon Hill Quarry and down into Castleton via Cave Dale. Had intended to walk back up Winnats Pass, but changed my mind and went up the subsided road beneath Mam Tor.
It appears that summer has finally arrived. The sun was out most of the afternoon, and it made a pleasant change not to have to make use of my waterproofs.
(Technical Data: distance = 15.5km, ascent = 529m)
