I loved the Peak district

Me too. Fond memories of hiking there with my girlfriend in the early seventies. One thing I discovered very clearly — outdoor nooky. Totally overrated. You're pestered by flies and God knows what who see that something interesting is going on and want to get in on it. Even worse: taking your dog out with your loved one, and deciding in the middle of the woods that you're both up for a bit of it, alfresco, as it were. The dog will immediately want to make it a threesome. No! Really not.
Woof!
Last time I hiked in the Peak Districk one and a half years ago I buggered my knee, though. The knee's recovered well (after surgery) but I suspect my hiking days are over. Or at least hiking for six, seven hours or so per day over rugged terrain.

Great pics. Lived immediately across the valley for a year, in a cosy slater's cottage that had been refurbished. about a kilometre above Deiniolen. One of the most luminous years of my life.

Edit: bet you're the Gandalf figure over on the left…
