Edges and Estates (3rd September 2016)

I continued to make my way through the Peak District.

Saturday 3rd September 2016

A good breakfast than left Hathersage, northwards to Stanage Edge, which was just about worth the detour.

It rained a lot, as I followed further edges south. I was a bit worried of [possible] lightning but didn’t happen. Stopped at a National Trust cafe to escape rain, had a delicious Homity Pie. Walked through Chatsworth Estate, even though there was a show on – but no-one checking tickets at this time in the day.

There were signs up about footpath closures due to Chatsworth Country Fair so I was a bit nervous of being turned away. I wasn’t clear if these were just permissive footpath closures or whether they had permission for public footpath closures. In any case this did not come up as it was the end of the day so no-one was checking tickets.

At this point on my journey I appear to have bored of tracking my spending – these were no longer found in my journal entries.
