Manifold Way Walk

Had my 'day off' of the holidays yesterday. Me and Alison went for a walk in the Peak District. Was really windy on Monday when we were route choosing...so we tried to keep to valleys and woodland, out of the gale. We didn't factor in just how muddy that might make it. Oops. Bit slow going at first but some nice scenery...

and some friendly moo cows..

and some impressive hills...

..to run down..

The Pub where we planned to have lunch...

..which shut as we reached the door!!! Drat! Lucky we had emergency provisions...

The route went through Swainsley Tunnel, part of the old Leek and Manifold Vally Light Railway which ran from 1904 to 1934. Bit of a long wait if you get there at 8!!!

I always seem to get lots of photos of ducks when I go on walks with Alison. Her theory was that its because they hang around tea shops, hoping to get some cake. ....Kinda like her then?!?!!

Mission accomplished!!

Whats up Duck?

Fight...fight...fight!!!!

Right. Time to get on...must go for a run, then clean our boots in the shower!
