strawb 3648 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Booked a cottage in the Derbyshire dales for a couple of nights next week, spur of the moment type deal. Anyone know fuck all about the Derbyshire dales? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 13924 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I was just looking at walking routes in that neck of the woods actually, with a view to having a stomp around somewhere British again later in the year. Didn't come to any especially useful conclusions though. Sorry. Think it's time to properly rediscover Northumberland first. Matlock and the bit around there looks pretty lovely in parts though.

Meenzer 13924 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 This is what I was perusing fwiw. Even if you're not into walking I presume the routes correlate with the more impressive scenery so you can just rock up in your car instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 17537 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I think it's good for country pubs etc. I've always been underwhelmed as a walking destination, but am probably spoiled by having Northumberland and (relatively) the lakes on my door step.

Dr Gloom 19717 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 My dad used to live in Matlock and I used to live in Sheffield so I know the Peak District reasonably well. Very pretty part of the country. Not as dramatic as somewhere like the lakes but few places in England are. Good country pubs with interesting selections of real ale and some nice little towns to explore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 16468 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 It's a canny place. North part I prefer it're more rugged. Some cracking boozers like has been said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawb 3648 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Nice one, cheers all. Looking to do a bit of walking with the dog but not loads cos she is a lazy cow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 13924 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Just back from a week and a bit in Lanzarote, Playa de los Pocillos this time, first time I'd been. Really nice villa five minutes' walk from amenities and a massive beach, convenient for the airport and the trashier parts of Puerto del Carmen without being close enough for the noise pollution from either to be a problem.

wykikitoon 16468 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 One more day left at graft then rest of the week in the Lakes. Cannot wait I need to get my feet up, drink coffee, sit around and do fuck all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 13924 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Going back to the Peak District conversation from the previous page, I'm still not mega sold on the (circular) walking options in the area so I reckon I'm going to split my September yomp between the Lakes - Helvellyn (still haven't done it) plus revisiting a few old favourites like Castle Crag/Borrowdale - and maybe just one big stomp around somewhere in the Peaks on my way back to smelly London. This currently gets my vote, seems to tick a lot of the boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strawb 3648 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 My trip to the dales was nice tbh, I'm not into massive walks and with a bulldog it's difficult anyway. We enjoyed a nice few walks to the beer gardens around the pleasant little villages though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 26118 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I don't see as ski holidays as being as middle class as walking. I go skiing. Theresa May goes walking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
