The forecast for Wednesday was a cloudy start with it brightening up later so I decided it was a good day for a walk.  I had chosen the Edges as our destination but starting at one of the lesser known ones. A circular walk of about six miles we started at the Haywood car park.  Crossing the Sheffield Road by the Grouse Inn we picked up a path that went up to White Edge and then turned left.  At the highest point we stopped for lunch with views towards Carl Wark, Higger Tor and the Hope Valley to the right and Sir William Hill ahead and Calver Sough and Coombe Dale to the right.  Being higher than Curbar and Froggatt Edges meant we had some marveloous views even if it was a little more hazier than I thought. From the trig point we could make out some of the tall buildings in Sheffield.  We were at the furthest point from the car and just about to reach the minor road up from Curbar when Chris’s mobile rung.  It was Ian wndering if Chris could come over and help with a cow having a difficult delivery.  Unfortunately he couldnt! We turned right on the Curbar road and after just a few yards were at the Curbar Edge car park and we turned right onto Curbar Edge as the sun finally emerged.  Along Curbar and Froggaatt Edges we had views along the Derwent Valley.  We also noted that the heather is starting to come out so we will have to have a heather walk in the next couple of weeks.  Back to the car and we headed to Hathersage for a browse around the outdoor shops.  One of the straps on my rucksack had broken, I have had it for years, so we found me a new rucksack.  A quiet evening in at our peak district cottages and watched the Restoration Home programme that featured the local Stoke Hall a few weeks ago.  I remember when it came up for sale a couple of years ago and though how nice it looked from the outside not realising just what a state it was internally!
