Woke to
Drove to NT Longshaw estate for its welcome facilities and did a brilliant walk down Padley gorge to Grindleford railway station for a pint of tea.News at that point filtered through on my phone of the forthcoming snap election, and whilst trying to contain my dismay, and admiring a black curly haired friendly spaniel and the bright sunlight in my eyes, i missed the step down into the courtyard and took a tumble skinning my knee and elbow and hands, narrowly avoiding making contact with the wall at the end of the courtyard...
Made our way up a steep hill behind the station cafe back onto the Longshaw estate with clear beautiful views of a nearby edge ( Stannage?) Drove 6 miles to Hathersage , bought wipes cream and big plasters and caught the last blissful 50 minutes at Hathersage open air public swimming pool , bliss in the sunshine, despite the very cold wind .
Sat in Coleman's deli for 90 mins taking advantage of their wi fi and enjoying their delicious food .Drove on through the Yorkshire dales (via Branfield) and reservoirs very pretty in the sunshine , on through Huddersfield, Keighley and Skipton .Parked on the top of a moor for a quiet and still pretty cold night ...
