Re-scheduled from the previous day to fit in with our reservation at the Pack Horse in Little Longstone, we started out on the 7 mile hike from close to the pub in the early afternoon.

We remembered again to activate Map my Walk and the route taken is shown in the picture. The first detour was through one of the tunnels on the Monsal Trail and the second change of direction was at Wardlow where the heavens opened just after setting out across the moorland.

In the end we headed back to Wardlow and walked along the road before finally arriving back at the Pack Horse in time for dinner.

 

The tunnel which we toured through costs us a vital half hour which meant a) Arriving half an hour late at the Pack Horse and b) Getting drenched in the widely forecast storms

 

 

 

 

The food and real ale selection was truly first rate and we spent the early part of the evening eating and trying to warm up.

To round off a thoroughly pleasant day, someone stole our mosaic solar lights. First time in decades of camping and caravanning across Europe that anything has gone walkabouts. Still, there’s a country show on at Chatsworth this weekend and there are lots of people wild-camping just over the wall in their Hobbys, Fendts etc…
