Saturday was forecast to be dry and with one departure and no arrivals, we thought we would have a few hours off. With the fields still muddy we thought we might go to the National Arboretum but with short daylight hours perhaps spring would be a better time when trees start to bloom again.  In the end we opted for a short walk on Curbar Edge.  Despite setting off later than planned (due to a possible booking that didn’t confirm) we managed to find a parking place and set off along Curbar Edge.  It was busier than I thought, perhaps expecting families would have other things on their minds with schools going back on Monday, but it was nice to see so many out on a Saturday.  It was quite a clear day so we had some wonderful views back to Baslow Edge and over to Derwent Edge.  We found a nice spot for lunch before taking the path down of the Edge and heading back to the car.  Before that we made a short diversion as we could see some Highland cattle at the side of the footpath further along the edge.  Walking along the Edge it was dry but the path down did get muddier and it was rocky in places.  The track back was quite muddy and being lower down we had lost the clear views but we still had some dappled sunlight and we only came across one other walker!  A short walk back up to the car then we set off to Calver where we stopped for afternoon tea at the cafe at the craft centre as we haven’t been there for a while.   Back home at our peak district cottages we had a quiet evening in.  Enjoy the photos.
