Barlow (circular) - Derbyshire (Peak District) - 25/03/16 - 8.5 Miles - Helen (Molly)

Oh no, the map is coming out.
Despite misplacing her glass eye, Helen was soon cheered up with a slice of Simnel Cake.
Molly had her eye on some cake as well.
Why do they never tell you in the country where you are.
Oh alright then !

Cave Dale and the Caverns (Castleton circular) - Derbyshire White Peak District - 12/03/16 - 7.5 Miles - Helen (Molly)

On the way up from Cave Dale, which apparently cuts through an ancient reef.
Overlooked by Peveril Castle.
Mini Alps.
It was still cold; just ask the Shivering Mountain.
Although a little surprised to see pockets of snow (maybe that's why we missed the entrance to the Blue John Cavern).
