Hi everyone, thought I would put yesterdays walk with the gang online, it was a bit misty at first but turned into a nice day, a walk along Baslow Edge and taking in the Wellington and Nelson Monuments. We even tried our emergency bivvy which produced one or two laughs as you can imagine, perhaps a few more trials are needed to perfect the operation :lol:

Looks like a gloomy start to the walk – although your emergency bivvy looked very ‘Orange’ and steamy :wtf: Love the rainbow and toll cottage, just one of those photo oportunity’s that cant be missed :D
