It's been some time since I've been able to return to
my home country for a visit. The last time was Christmas 2009. I wanted to bring the whole family again, but in lieu of that big win on the lottery, I came over for a solo trip. Solo trips usually mean more time for hill walking, and within 24 hours of landing at
Heathrow, that's exactly what I was doing.
The Peak District is very close to where I grew up and, when I come to think about it, feels like a long lost friend every time I see it. It's always the first place I go. Well, second, if you count the
chippie.
Day 1 was a nice circuit around
Castleton, taking in Winnat's and the Mam Tor ridge, and day 2 was an 'Edge' circuit of
Hathersage. The weather was great, which led to a bit of a suntan and some great light for the photographs.
