It's a great blog. You do what's best to escape and get out in the hills. I'll have a good read of it as there's a lot to catch up on. Meantime - join my site on the Three Peaks of Yorkshire - www.oldfieldslimestone.blogspot.co.uk<br /><br />I love Arbor Low by the way. Stunning place. Though always windswept and freeeezing!!!!Stephen Oldfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12530850075205687496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823921419241429099.post-57012557022731432772013-07-25T20:32:17.553-07:002013-07-25T20:32:17.553-07:00Hi Lee, thank you for reading my blog and taking t...Hi Lee, thank you for reading my blog and taking the time to comment.<br /><br />Beauty is very much in the eye of the beholder and that helps to make the world a very interesting place.<br /><br />Not just the Peak district, but across Great Britain, there are many henges of varying size and stature. Some of which will be interesting to visit, others, not so interesting.<br /><br />Arbor Low Henge would probably have been very impressive in its hey day, with all the stones upright.<br /><br />However, the henge is situated on a high and prominent point, currently with a clear commanding view of the countryside around it.<br />PRPeak Ramblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645316221553542322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823921419241429099.post-90002508513147997302013-07-24T23:10:12.810-07:002013-07-24T23:10:12.810-07:00I've been careful when planning routes in this...I've been careful when planning routes in this hot weather too; like yourself avoiding hills and seeking out shade. I've also done a few local walks here in Doncaster.<br /><br />I've only ever visited Abor Low once and was very disappointed with the place; it seems to be a rather unremarkable location to site such an important religious monument.Leehttp://peakwalking.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823921419241429099.post-80999947568535787452013-07-20T08:32:21.947-07:002013-07-20T08:32:21.947-07:00The River Lathkill has a nasty habit of disappeari...The River Lathkill has a nasty habit of disappearing underground as it travels through Lathkill Dale.<br /><br />There used to be lots of fresh water springs alongside the river, but that was pre-hardened path days.<br /><br />I remember many times eating water dress from those fresh water springs.....<br /><br />The map shows the path going through the farm, but the reality is very different. Even the footpath signage backs up what the farmers wife said.<br /><br />My guess is that at some point, the path has been re-routed and OS haven't picked up on it.<br /><br />I've checked various online maps and they all show the same as both my Lamfold and Memory Map.<br /><br />I'll be talking to OS just to get confirmation. They are proactive on any info passed on, and, understandably, check it out before going to print.<br /><br />Two stone circles are my favourites, Arbor Low and Nine Ladies on Stanton Moor.Peak Ramblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645316221553542322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823921419241429099.post-35390159655577689142013-07-20T03:33:25.483-07:002013-07-20T03:33:25.483-07:00It certainly was hot again last weekend!

I often carry my water filter with me even on day walks, so I can top up if necessary - although sometimes it's so dry you don't find the normal streams you expect! <br />Rather like Arbor Low myself and the White Peak does have its charms. Navigating through fields and farmland though can be an absolute nightmare :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17366006927614880581noreply@blogger.com
