derwent edge

Derwent edge April 22

Meet at Fairholmes CP Ladybower for Coffee of course.

En masse today 17 walkers

Having admired the Derwent Reservoir dam wall memories of scary torrents of water falling over the rocks we climb to the trail alongside the water. After a few km climb up onto the edge  to Lost Lad and all the rocky sites of the edge . Back Tor, Cakes of bread, Salt cellar, white tor, wheel stones and then descend to the reservoir and back. The path is well marked and paved but in wet weather watch for sunken slabs and don’t step off into the sinking peat

Lots of poses and picnics on the rocks becasue we were celebrating Dom and Ruths birthdays

Then the Yorkshire Bridge Inn in Bamford for lunch
