Short walks from Earl Sterndale
Tuesday 20th September 2022
A week at Hilldale Cottage in Earl Sterndale, Derbyshire.
In the morning I walked a couple of miles past the church and the primary school.
The road turned into a longish stony track leading uphill to the quarry.
Looking back to views of the Dragon’s Back and High Wheeldon Tor.
Sheep, cows and rooks plus one butterfly.
A heap of felled tree logs (ash dieback?)
Came down through a couple of fields of wet grass, past Braemar House farm. 
Through a gate which has warped rather, and was very difficult to close. I turned right along the road, and paused for a fleeting glimpse of the duck pond.
Decided not to go in and disturb the denizens.

Later with Harry I walked another two miles or so, along Crowdecote Road, past the climbing area of Aldery Cliff,
and up High Wheeldon (422 meters - 1384 feet)
coming down close to Wheeldon Trees cottages, and back. A steep ascent and descent.
Back ‘home’ for cuppa and rather sweet tart.
