Greetings from a most agreeable AirBnB in the Derbyshire Peak District, where Gail, her friend Janet and myself have been enjoying a lovely three day 'mini-break' exploring territory where Gail broke in her first pair of hiking boots when walking with her parents over half a century ago.
Yesterday we had a grand old tramp around Monsal Dale, starting out across the viaduct and along the old railway track (now a walking and cycling route).
Gail's brother (two years older than her) has apparently completed the 5 km 'Parkrun' along this trail in just over 21 minutes, but Gail and Janet seemed less than enthusiastic when I indicated we might try to beat his time.
It seems they would rather look at the wayside flowers and the railway cutting geology.
We walked back along a track, passing by fields edged with dry stone walls, and Gail seemed happy to have returned to a part of the country she has loved since childhood.
I thought it was pretty nice too.
Happy Nature Friday friends! And once again a big thank you to our friends the LLB Gang for hosting the blog hop. Do please go and visit all the others.
