Tideswell (circular via Tansley, Cressbrook, Millers, Monsal, Highdale and Tideswell Dales) - 22/06/19 - 8.5 Miles - Helen and B dog

It's Well Dressing season.
Some light and shade in the Peak
B tells me off for losing her stick.
Helen stands around looking pretty.
I trek through another dale.
No trouble at Mill's.
We were too far away from Monsal to get an ice cream.
Helen finds a new pet, leaving B with her nose out of joint.

Nice and easy before the scramble up Grindsbrook Clough.
Helen wading through a sea of rocks.
There are some funny looking rocks up on Kinder.
I said there are some funny looking rocks up on Kinder.
Lots of nice scenery.
The funny thing was, we already thought we had descended Jacobs Ladder.
And then we realised that we hadn't.
