On Sunday I decided to do another part of the Limestone Way but closer to home as we had a cottage arriving in the afternoon, although they have been here before.  With a fine day forecast we packed the rucksacks and headed to Flagg picking up a paper at Ashford.  The Limestone Way runs along the main street in Flagg so we parked near where the Way emerged from its stretch along the lanes from Monyash.  After a short while we reached the tea room in Flagg so took the opportunity to stop for a coffee.Where the Way left the main street we headed on across country to cross the minor road we use to get to Chelmorton and then followed a track parallel to the Limestone Way.  Chris wasn’t particularly impressed by the thought that most of the stretch of the Way from Flagg to Taddington was tarmacked road or track. Where this track crossed the path from Chelmorton to Taddington we turned right and took this path to Taddington.  It is in this part of the White Peak that the stone walls are considered to be at their best.  There were certainly plenty of walls as we had a total of 2 dozen stiles to negotiate!  At this point of the walk we had some views to the south but the hazy atmosphere (it was suggested this was ash in the air) prevented far reaching views.  As we reached Sough Top the views changed towards the north and it was just below the top that we stopped for lunch.  Here we looked down on Taddington and across to Tideswell and around to Longstone Edge.  We should have been able to see towards the dark peak but could not make any particular features out.  After lunch we made our way down to Taddington then picked up the minor road out of Taddington back to Flagg briefly before picking up the paths again.  An easy going walk but with a lot of stiles!  Back home before guests arrived.  Time to catch up on emails and phone calls at our peak district cottages before a quiet evening in.
