Monday morning saw two cottages depart and two cleaners up at our peak district cottages. Noticed there was less traffic than usual and when cleaner came up she said the road was closed by the Over Haddon turning coming up from Bakewell. She said it was causing confusion. She had ignored the road closed sign and driven round the road block and could not see why it was closed. We were not sure why they had to close it where they had. After cleaning I went down to Bakewell to get some provisions and a look around the market. Chris collected me and on the way back we decided to follow the diversion through Over Haddon and when we got there we found the main street was closed and the diversion just ended! The car in front of us didn’t know where it was going. We drove onto where the road was dug up and they had almost filled it but traffic could not get passed it. The dustcart drivers said the road was closed at Monyash with no diversion signs at all! The laundry man also had trouble getting to us and although I phoned our guests that were arriving in the afternoon to warn them of the problems it was too late. They arrived just before 5pm and used a map to go round the lanes to get here as they had been here before. After dinner I left Chris with the dogs and set off for Over Haddon for indoor bowls. I turned right out of the drive only to find they had now closed the road before the Over Haddon turning near us so I had to go the long way round almost all the way down to Bakewell. Chatting to the others at Over Haddon there had been a water leak there too over the weekend but no-one was without water. They were now waiting for someone to come and fill the hole in and open the main street again as that had caused problems over the weekend when the village is a popular place to start walks down to Lathkill Dale. On the way back I noticed they had put another sign up by the road closed sign which said access to frontages only, which I decided meant I could get back home!
