Baslow Edge

Woke up to a sunny and frosty start at our pet friendly cottages.  Temperature was just above freezing but I thought it would be a nice day for a short walk.  We set off for Baslow as I thought a walk in the sun with views would be be best.  As we drove to Baslow the temperature dropped and it was still minus 4 when we parked in Baslow.  There was still a lot of frost around as we set off on one of the footpaths below Baslow Edge.  I waved to home at one of the spots I can see from our office but it was too hazy to make out anything in the distance.  I guess because it was such a nice day there were a lot more walkers around than I expected.  Despite the cold it was a lovely walk but each time I stopped to take a picture my glasses steamed up.  There is a part of the walk that can be quite boggy but the cold of the last couple of nights had frozen the ground and there was only one spot where I got wet boots.  There were some highland cattle in one field which Blue spotted but they were more interested in munching.  One though came very close to find some water so got some nice clos up shots.  Up on to the edge we continued to admire the views as we headed back to Baslow.  Found a nice spot for lunch where we observed a number of planes at high level in the blue sky and used Chris’s phone app to identify them and waved at the plane en route to Washington at 35000 feet.  How sad!  Set off for the car and should have been able to see Chatsworth House but could only make out the outline of the house in the haze.  After passing the Eagle Stone and on reaching Wellington’s Monument we picked up the track back to the car.  Felt like a trip to the Peak Village Outlet Centre at Rowsley before going home and getting the fire on.  Enjoy the pictures.
