The week at Bolehill started with three departures and three arrivals and one cleaner up.  Chris went down to the market in Bakewell whilst I finished off in the cottages.  Two cottages arrived at 3pm and one at 4.30pm. Another nice day although it clouded up in the afternoon.  In the evening I went to the village hall for a pre AGM meeting and acceptance of the annul accounts.  Apparently I missed an unusual sunset.  As Tuesday was forecast to be a fine day I scheduled us in for a walk.  I had selected a six mile circular walk from Eyam heading to Foolow then Grindlow and back to Eyam which was quite gentle but with a number of stiles.  Although we had the blue skies, sun and warmth we also had a keen wind.  We parked in Eyam in the free car park ( yes, there are still some free car parks around) and walked passed Eyam Hall (now managed by the National Trust) before heading up New Road and out of Eyam towards Foolow.  The path followed field paths and green lanes all the way to Foolow and we had views up to Eyam Edge and Bretton and across to Longstone Edge in the other direction.  The dogs were able to stay off the leads for most of the way as we encountered no livestock and the stiles were all easy as the walk had two dozen to cross!  At Foolow we walked through the hamlet and then took another path across fields to the hamlet of Grindlow.  Here we picked up a minor lane down to a silly place to have lunch.  Silly Dale!  Silly Dale was sheltered from the wind so we found a spot for lunch where we had views up and down the dale.  We could also see a few gliders from the gliding club.  At Stanley House we started on the return journey to Eyam.  At this point we had a good view to the Peter’s Stone in Cressbrook Dale.  There were sheep and lambs in the first few fields so the dogs stayed on their leads and we also passed Brosterfield Hall where the dogs went for their training, I wonder if that’s why Smudge paused for a moment.  We had a short bit of road to walk on before walking along the A623 for a couple of hundred yards.  We picked up the final path to Eyam which skirted an old quarry and before we knew it we were back at the car.  We thought we would stop at the cafe at Monsal Head for a cup of tea but it was closed so we went onto to Ashford and had a cup of tea and piece of cake there.  Enjoy the photos.
