Our Derbyshire Holiday May 2007
[image:26:c:l:t=:l=x]On May 12th we travelled to Hope in Derbyshire for a one week holiday staying in a holiday cottage in the Peak District. Travelling went very well as we had the use of James Tom Tom Satelite Navigation System. It was a real bonus! We had a very enjoyable week although the weather could have been better- mainly rain and cloud- but we stayed bright! We visited many places- Ashbourne- Bakewell- Buxton- Castleton- Chesterfield- Denby- Glossop- Hardwick- Hope- Keddleston- Sheffied all of which we enjoyed. To us we enjoyed Bakewell and Buxton the best. The scenery was fantastic a complete change to Norfolk. A trip along the Snake Pass being the highlight. The cottage we stayed in was very good it had every thing in it you could wish for. It was on a small farm and Beryl enjoyed feeding the chickens each day which gave us a reward as we were given fresh new laid eggs by the owner of the cottage. The cottage was at the foot of Loose Hill and Mam Tor and I was more than pleased when Beryl agreed to go for a walk up Loose Hill. She was very dubious at first but after a little persuasion she made it to the top. A climb of 300 feet! Well done Beryl! Once at the top the view was magnificent, looking up at Mam Tor and looking down on the Hope Valley. It was a scene to savour. I took many photo’s and have posted some in our gallery. Please take a look and pass your comments. We arrived home safely on Friday 18th at 5.45pm. We travelled on Friday afternoon as we had to pick up our dogs Harry and Robbie from the kennels at 10 am on the Saturday. They were pleased to see us and had been well looked after. A good time was had by all! We look forward to our next holiday in York in September.
