The reason is because I was supposed to watch it with my sister, and our schedules have only just aligned!

Lol.

So what was the verdict? Good, bad or indifferent?

Thanks biscuits

The weather was fine, a little bleak, but fine for driving. Took us six hours though

I don't know if I'm looking forward to it or not, but I'm off shortly for my first trip of the year; there are 17 going, so I might just slope off alone a fair bit (for once, I'm not the organiser, so I have more freedom). There are two other (longer) trips in quick succession after I get back, so I'm worried this may be the start of human contact overload.

If nothing else, it'll reduce my heating bills!

^ lol ! Hope you have a good time. It***8217;s a bit easier to enjoy it if you***8217;re not the organiser I guess!

I'm heading off to my usual place in Devon for a long weekend at the end of April.

I seriously cannot wait.

It's one place where I feel as though I 'come alive' and I can just be myself. Rekindle some happy childhood memories e.t.c...

The small towns of Bakewell and Eyam are worth a visit, as is Chatsworth House and the surrounding area.

A nice part of the country to visit.

Yes I will be hiking

Yes Bakewell and Eyam look nice, so does Castleton . I want to walk up to Mam tor and also try and walk Kinder scout and Derwent Edge. Hoping for good weather.

I hiked Mam Tor and Kinder Scout last year actually.

Mam Tor is an easy walk up from Castleton (via Winnats Pass or Cavedale). Kinder Scout, is longer but still fairly easy walk , from Edale via The Pennine Way and Jacobs Ladder. However finding the summit itself can be difficult even in clear weather and its easy to get lost in poor visibility.

Another, good walk is from Bakewell to Chatsworth House (Via the village of Rowsley and the River Derwent).

Just a few ideas for walkies though.....

Vienna · #**405** 16th January 2018, 16:53

Thanks^ I will check out Bakewell to Chatsworth.
Planning to do Kinder scout from Hayfield

So might be missing out jacobs ladder.

Will definately have to take my compass!

Yep, looks like that route misses out Jacobs Ladder. I did the walk from Edale Station after arriving on the train from Sheffield (where Id been staying). Could be wrong, but I think that is the start point for the Pennine Way too.

Bleaklow Head is another hill in the area that you could do. Its one Ime hoping to do the next time Ime down in that part of the country. I know it can be done from Glossop, but there are other routes as well.

anxiouslondoner · #**410** 19th January 2018, 12:09

Going to Carcassonne in March. It looks like a fairytale medieval castle. I can just imagine the Frenchmen catapulting a giant wooden rabbit over the ramparts (that was real, right?)

Clementine · #**411** 19th January 2018, 12:13

^ I read a novel that was set there and became a bit obsessed with the place for a while. You always seem to end up going to the places I want to visit. I bet you do it on purpose :P

anxiouslondoner · #**412** 19th January 2018, 12:48

^ Sorry, I'd take you with me if I could!

gregarious_introvert · #**413** 19th January 2018, 13:11

^^^ That looks lovely, I wish I'd known about that when I was last in that area! I may be driving to Spain later in the year (accompanying someone else to share the driving) and if I do, I'll make sure that we stop there en route. Thanks for posting that, anxiouslondoner.

Aimz · #**414** 19th January 2018, 17:20

February....so I can have a drink

Dry January feels loooong but I feel better for it.
Haven't planned that far ahead in terms of holidays etc....
I bought my dad zombie survival experience for his birthday so now we just have to pick a date for it. I am looking forward to that

Vienna · #**415** 4th February 2018, 18:08

^ Flippin hell , you're brave !

I'm looking forward to some warmer weather so I can go out hiking, already got some routes planned

rachlou · #**416** 4th February 2018, 20:41

Going back to Wales. This two weeks is dragging eh.

newbs16 · #**417** 4th February 2018, 22:08

Is it the St Bees to Robin Hoods Bay Path ?

Thats a fair old hike, must be getting on for 200 odd miles. How many days will that take you?
