On Thursday we had hoped to get another walk in but the forecast indicated it would be raining by lunchtime.  Our friends were meeting up with a couple of their friends for coffee so we met up with them afterwards and headed up to Derwent reservoir to see the water coming over the top of the dam.  We had heard it was very good at the moment and we must admit we had never seen the water come over the dam with such force.  We did a short walk along the local tracks then headed over to Ladybower to see the water going into the sink holes.  We stopped for lunch at the Riverside deli just outside Hathersage then had a wander round Hathersage browsing in a few outdoor shops too.  Despite the fact it always looked threatening it never rained so we could have had a walk after all.  An early tea back at our peak district cottages then our friends departed for home.  One arrival in the afternoon too.  Enjoy the photos.
