Chesterfield (Trans-Pennine Trail) Circular - Derbyshire - 14/09/17 - 10 Miles

Today's walk was an exercise in using my new GPS. Like the previous model it is good for giving you an exact grid reference for your location. I did find the whole 'waypoint' concept, a waste and what's the point.
Nonna's coffee bar at Hollingwood Hub was the furthest reference point I used.
Who let the dogs out.
Ducks form an orderly queue for the next barge.
