Derwent Dam (the start) Unfortunately no overflow today.
We left Geordie's car down at Baslow Edge and travelled up in mine
The Derwent Reservoir
Looking along the path. Our route had us turn right and up into the hills before the bend.
Looking back down on the reservoir
Over the stile and then bearing left. Bamford Edge and Win Hill in the distance
A memorial on Lost Lad Hill
Back Tor. Today's highest point
Trig now visible. Some of these foot stones were sinking in the bog
A short break at Back Tor
Way out in the distance we have Win Hill to the left, The Great Ridge in the middle and Kinder plateau to the right.
Some blue sky appears
Heading south along Derwent Edge
Geordie setting the pace
Looking out to Ladybower reservoir

Wheel Stones
A fun scramble
Lunch break. Sheltered from the wind on Stanage End
One of many drinking basins
High Neb trig
A solid stance for a very windy day
Looking out from Stanage Edge
Looking back along Stanage Edge. Approximately half of our route done.
Another Trig point
A pretty decent shelter below
Geordie reading about Burbage near Burbage Bridge
It would have been nicer on the feet following this path. We chose to stick with the Edges and go along Burbage Rocks which is visible left back
Burbage Rocks
Quick coffee in the National Trust shop and the Longshaw Estate
The path along Froggatt Edge
Continuing along Froggatt Edge
Looking back from Curbar Edge. The very furthest point you can see (marked by the arrow) is where we started from.
We still had just under 3 miles to go.

Looping back round the rear of Baslow edge and back to Geordie's car.
Our feet where screaming to be released from our walking boots.
