Odd one this year, The Bears are in Ibiza. DM in Germany so going solo. Only got tickets for Saturday and Sunday as nobody I particularly want to see and the general demographic has changed, lots more youngsters and music to match. Or am I just getting too old and knackered 😬.

Anyway, forecast lots of rain so don’t feel so bad. Decided I would walk….seemed a good idea! Stopped at Nags Head on way and who should be passing, George and Carly so walked back to Mallards with them. Mainly to say hello to Lorna who was over from Tasmania.

Pretty wet already but walking rest of the way ended up really wet.

Muddy!

Watched Lynks, brilliant but can’t imagine seeing “them” again. Loved the dancing TRex’s though

The Murder Capital amazing. But getting in an odd head space. These things are meant to be shared and being cold, hungry with a few beers down after walking 15 miles strangely felt very emotional. Missing my Bears ❤️.

Time to go home

Taxi. Fish and chips. Bath!! Bed for 9.00

Birthday 64. Perfect BDay breakfast from MBear of course.

Then off to Peak District. In this cottage. Tideswell.

First day walk. From Ladybower Resevoir. Quite a good climb, Mabel did really well. Thanks Mrs B, Marmite and Cheese roll for lunch+.

Hot bath. Bubbles and Wimbledon

Relax 😀

Day two, Mam Tor. Started off well, got to top of Tor in under an hour.

Little sculpture garden on path, Mabel added to it

Rather than go back the way we came up decided to make a circuit, an uncertain circuit.

Saw rain clouds in distance, but surely not far back to car 😬

No more pictures. Longer walk back than expected and torrential rain for last mile. Everyone still smiling. But very wet.

Hot bath. Bubbles and Wimbledon.

Relax 😀

Day 3. Kinder Reservoir from Hayfield.

Hot bath. Bubbles and Wimbledon.

Relax 😀
