Peak District

We took a day to travel about an hour north of Birmingham to visit the Peak District of England.

If you are looking for hikes in the Peak District, please check out the 10 Adventures Great Walks In The Peak District.

Here are some photos from our visit. This is a great area for a weekend drive up from the south.

<p>Now I have to admit I do not enjoy a visit to the barber's - sorry, hairdresser's - because whatever they do the top always stands up for days afterwards in mini Mohican style. I tend to leave it until the hair length starts to annoy me and so I finally gritted my teeth and made an appointment - for the day of the mass shutdown!! If, as they threaten, they keep us oldies locked up for weeks to come, I shudder to think what it might look like. (Mind you I would be quite pleased if it ended up this thick and smooth - but it won't!)<br />
<br />
The old joke is very true just now. They are not cutting hair any longer in town - trouble is they're not cutting it shorter either ;-)<br />
<br />
If anyone one is interested (and I suspect not many) this is a waterfall on The Clough brook in Wildboarclough near Macclesfield in The Pennines and part of the Peak District National Park. The water is flowing down to join the River Dane and, in time, will exit to the Irish Sea via Liverpool.</p>

<p>25.139 has just crested the summit at Peak Forest with the midday Tunstead to Oakleigh ICI train. Just prior to this point there would have been a banking loco on the rear that cut off on the fly just after the road bridge at Peak Forest Station.<br />
<br />
At the time there were three trips to Oakleigh to be viewed in daylight.</p>

<p>Going back through some of my unedited files from last year and I thought I'd post this.<br />
<br />
I made it up to the limestone pillars on top of Winnats Pass in the Peak District for dawn back in September last year. I was rewarded with a lovely sunrise over Castleton and the Hope Valley. Seems a long time ago now, particularly with this self isolation at the moment!</p>

Posted before setting off to work again to see my rapidly shrinking workforce. No confirmed cases yet, but the working from homes, and self isolators make the factory eerily quiet and intimidating. Grim times</p>
