11th August -- Hartington, Peak District
A fine sunny day. All walks were linear from various points on the A523, and headed North up the river Dove (A, B- and C) or the river Manifold (B+). No photos so far from B- or C walks.
The B+ walk followed the Manifold Way -- not a labyrinthine Buddhist path to enlightenment, but a cycle track along the route of the former Leek and Manifold Valley Light Railway. In its time this railway was, according to the AA "one of England's most picturesque white elephants".
