A brilliant day out today with Tracey and Clara visiting a few places in the Peak District.
We started proceedings at a pretty cold Ladybower Dam so we could show Clara the amazing sink holes and thankfully they were in pretty decent flow.
This is a very popular place for visitors,so the early start certainly paid off and we pretty much had the place to ourselves which was great.
A quick drive up the road to Fairholmes and we took Clara to her second place for another sight and sound off her bucket list,seeing the superb Derwent Dam in full flow.
When the reservoir is full,it overflows over the dam wall and is great to see,although not as impressive as the sink holes.
The final place we visited was Castleton and we walked a circular starting just outside Castleton village walking up to Mam Tor,then up to Hollins Cross and back on ourselves to the summit of Mam Tor and then back to Castleton village for some well earned food.
This area really is a favourite of mine and despite the cloud i enjoyed the walk immensely.
A few nice birds were seen during the day and included 24 Whooper Swans heading north and a couple of lovely Ravens at Mam Tor.
The following are a selection of photos from this brilliant day out.
