A little bit wet, I remember.

In #Stockport

It features quite a few times. Near where they live and catch the bus.

This featured a lot in Channel 4s "It's A Sin" drama. Acting as a bit of London.

On the road numbers. Crossing the A628 - I don't recognise the number but would readily recognise "The Woodhead Pass". The A57 in the Park is "The Snake Pass". Similarly, the A635 I believe is called the "Isle of Skye".
Near to the A635

On the route out of Glossop, he starts along the A57 again. It's much better to go through Manor Park and Old Glossop. No traffic noise, just birds and the sounds of the Brook.
Manor Park and Old Glossop

Similarly, a detour to see Melandra roman Fort is an odd choice. It's an overgrown, uneven field next to a housing estate. Though the estate does boast an impressive collection of Saint George flags. Perhaps in homage to George being a soldier in the Roman army?

On the routes. I can not imagine anyone else choosing to walk from #Manchester to #Glossop along the A57. It is much better to walk along the Ashton canal (or the train) onto Marple via the High Peak canal and through Etherow Country Park towards Glossop.
(Marple aqueduct highest in the UK).

High Peaks by Tom Chesshyre.
A 363 mile walk around the #PeakDistrict. This is a travelogue, not a walking book. An enjoyable, easy read, informative, and gently funny. I really liked it. Though much of the narrative (and walking) is outside of the National Park, it adds context. #BookSky #Books 💙📚

I think this is the link:
Co-Operative Hub Mural, Drake Street, Rochdale - Doodlher share.google/W7uPh4FWSwUI...

Very definitely! But interesting all the same - hoping to find a few new things / places too.

My next read.
Wild Peaks by Tom Chesshyre.
A 363-mile ramble through the #PeakDistrict (and some diversions outside it).
Timed for the 75th anniversary of the first UK National Park.

#Walking

Did a little hike - the Black Brook Valley from the base of Mount Famine. "You don't need a map, just look up"

The wreckage, crash site, and memorial of Superfortress Over Exposed. It crashed in 1948 with the loss of all 13 aboard.

What a difference a day makes.
Lovely blossom in warm 🌞 yesterday.

This sign in #Glossop made me smile.

A lovely round walk from #Glossop Up Doctors Gate, onto Higher Shelf Stones, Lower Shelf Stones, and back down via James's Thorn.
(I think three plane crash sites near by).

What a sensible idea!

A celebration of wildness and wonder: the Peak District national park at 75 The wild moors and gentle dales of the UK’s oldest national park are just as inviting today as they were when it was created in 1951

It was Pemberley in the BBC adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice #BookSky #Books 💙📚
It was a school in 2011s The Awakening, but best known to me from Red Dwarf...

Right of the sign. Sorry.

"Road" works today. #PeakDistrict style.
Luckily, we didn't suffer any significant delay.
(Works on Park Moor - just below the horizon to the left of the sign). #Walking #LymePark

It looks like #Spring today (at last).
