Peak District: DERBYSHIRE - Derwent Edge (10 miles)

Friday, 29th November 2013

A blooming good day's walking with a few people who are on the forum but this meet was arranged through Tracey's Walking Group Facebook Page. It was about 10 miles with 1061ft of up. I was constantly the one at the back as usual.  My lungs were struggling a bit with the damp. Blooming good day's walking though. Ten miles! An achievement :)
