Friday 13 May was a fair day at our Bolehill Cottages near Bakewell (see here).  One departure and one arrival with one cleaner here.  Down to Bakewell  first thing to get provisions for the weekend.  A day of jobs around the vacant cottages and home with cottage arriving about 4.30. Saturday was the busiest Saturday for a long time.  Dry and sunny but with a cool breeze.  Six departures and four arrivals with three cleaners here.  All cleaning finished before lunch with checks  completed before first arrival at 3pm.  All cottages here by 4pm, three have been before. Our friend from York arrived for the weekend and we rounded off the evening with a Chinese take away.  Sunday turned out to be a much better day weather wise than forecast.  A lovely sunny mild spring day with one departure and one arrival with cottage already cleaned.  We decided to go for a walk and parked down by the River Wye in the free parking spaces near Cressbrook.  From here we walked along the road and by the mill picked up the concessionary path to Litton.  It was still a little boggy in Water Cum Jolly but it was quite scenic.  At Litton Mill we climbed up to the Monsal Trail and started to walk back to Bakewell.  Just before the Litton Tunnel we headed uphill on the old Monsal Trail. From here we had wonderful views over the Monsal Trail where it was out of the tunnels and of the Wye Valley and surrounding settlements.  We also found some Bluebells.  Once back onto the Monsal Trail we walked up to Monsal Head and had lunch at Hobbs Cafe.  Overall about five miles.  Back home in time for cottage arriving at around 4pm.  We then took our friend down to Over Haddon and introduced him to the Garden Tea Room after which we had a swift half at the Lathkil Hotel which was busy due to the nice weather.  Enjoy the photos.
