Sunday (6/10) was a glorious day and worthy of a walk.  My knee had been a lot better but not wishing to cause any problems I suggested a short walk from Monyash not far from our Bolehill Cottages (see here for details).  In the morning we had two departures and after a chat with some of the guests headed for Bakewell to get the paper.  Had coffee on the patio and after lunch headed to Monyash.  We parked by the church and picked up the footpath through the churchyard that connected with the Limestone Way.  We followed this up as it headed to One Ash Grange but before reaching the farm took the path at farm that links back to Lathkill Dale.  Along the way we could make out the trees at Bolehill farm but couldn’t see the house.  We could also make out the edge of the Dale along which the permissive path runs that gives wonderful views of the Dale.  We decided it would make a nice walk in summer to see all the different colours silaging makes on the landscape.  The path emerges just before the rocky part of the Dale so we had a nice level walk back to the road.  Here, instead of turning left and walking into Monyash, we crossed the road and walked along Bagshaw Dale.  Despite this being so close we have never walked along it.  It was longer than I thought but  just a quiet green dale. It emerges at the other end of Monyash and we had the short walk back along Chapel Street to reach the village centre.  The Old Smithy was doing a roaring trade in ice cream so naturally I had one!   Monday was also a warm day.  One departure but no arrivals and one cleaner up.  Usual Monday jobs in the morning and in the afternoon some preparations for Tuesdays arrivals and the Village Hall Committee meeting in the evening. If you have time have a look at this video about the work in Lathkill Dale and enjoy the photos.
