Setting off now for drive up to the #MonsalTrail, leading a gang of loonies mad enough to follow me!

Inside of a brick lined, disused railway tunnel looking towards the bright entrance. The roof is almost circular and radiating concentric lines of light can be seen on the brick surface.

A closer picture of the curved wall showing light falling on the bricks. Lines of black soot deposits stripe vertically down the wall between section of shiny wet brickwork

A view of another tunnel wall, but this on has straight verical walls with a curved roof. This is a close, angled view of one wall showing flat, shiny wet brickwork lit from the distant entrance to the right and darker, closer, to the left. Part of the curved roof is visibly also dark stone chippings on the floor

I haven't forgotten about #MonochromeMarch I have just been observing so much colour recently that I hadn’t found a good subject! Yesterday in the tunnels of the Monsal Trail I had a burst of inspiration. Typically, I didn't have a decent camera with me but […]

Sixth final day walk. Did favourite: mighty #MonsalTrail #Buxton #Bakewell. Yes, flat & easy but I love tunnels, general landscape & see many appreciating it. Weather ‘mixed’. Buses there & back from Derby excellent. Place of the day: #JoinersArmsBakewell facebook.com/share/16pgXP95…

Three flower heads of Field Scabious (Knautia arvensis) seen at different angles, also showing the hairy stem

Field Scabious. Not the hairiest of #hairyplants, but it was the favourite of bees and butterflies on the #MonsalTrail this week. And it’s the one I’ve chosen for this evening’s #wildflowerhour challenge

Great walk along the #MonsalTrail. It's a great surface for wheelchairs: flat and level. The scenery is amazing and very varied: I saw farmland, old stations, grand houses, lots of long tunnels, industrial buildings and open grazing land. #WheelchairTravels #WheelchairWalks #DogWalks #PeakDistrict

View to the end of Headstone Tunnel on the Monsal Trail. The tunnel is used by cyclists and walkers. The tunnel is part of the old railway network. In the distance 2 people are exiting the tunnel. The tunnel is lit by strip lights running down the centre of the tunnel’s ceiling.

Wide photo of a disused limestone quarry in winter. Large boulders in the foreground and the crag behind. Bare trees on the top and in the bottom. Blues sky

A close up image of a bare tree, part covered in moss, casting a clear shadow onto a limestone rock face (which also has moss)

Tall image of a limestone quarry face with interesting shadows cast by the uneven surface. Bare trees stand in the foreground and on top of the crag. Blue sky above

Another view of the quarry face this time mostly in shadow. The foreground is in sun, boulders and a small bare tree

I'm planning some #EnPleinAir #PaintingWithYarn and following the theme I thought a Derbyshire quarry might be a good subject. This is a #Millersdale Quarry (now a nature reserve) just off the #MonsalTrail I had a nosy around today as the morning light was good […]

The Monsal Trail follows the route of the former Midland Railway line through the Peak District for 8½ miles through six tunnels like these at Chee Tor. Now an excellent cycling/walking route #industrialarchaeology #MonsalTrail
