18-19.12.08 Around the High Peak District

 

 

2 day family trip to the peak district. From our base at Castleton we explored the surrounding area

 

Looking across Ladybower Reservoir to Crook Hill

 

 

Surely there is some sort of grate to catch people further down ?

 

 

Definitely the biggest plug hole my son Noah has seen

 

 

Bamford Edge

 

 

Peveril Castle and Mam Tor.

 

 

I'll eat my dinner daddy. Can i come out?

 

 

Mam Tor aka Shivering Mountain

 

 

From Peveril Castle looking down into Cave Dale

 

 

Looking across to Win Hill

 

 

The Great Ridge. Back Tor in the Middle and Lose Hill on the right

 

 

My favorite outdoor companion. When it comes to steep slopes he puts me to shame. He does need bribing first though

 

 

Another shot of Peveril Castle

 

Before dinner i clambered up the steep slope behind the cottage to get this shot

 

 

Mam Tor summit

 

 

Noah and Julie looking down into the Hope Valley from Mam Tor

 

 

The Great Ridge

 

 

Treak Cliff Cavern

 

 

Almost tempted to snap off one of these Stalactites. It only took thousands of years for them to get this long.
