Distance 6 miles

Weather: sunny, chill wind, warm in the sunshine, shower.

A walk around the Longshaw Estate in the Peak District, starting from the NT visitor centre. We walked out of the park, over the moors (nice views and fudge!) and down Granby Woods into Grindleford. Up through the woods along Padley Gorge, watching out for boggarts and troll traps.

We took a path up to the Surprise View, where there was some rock climbing and then down (passing the happiest rock and the smallest dog in the world) the hillside, over the road and back over the road to the parkland. We visited the pond where there were mallards and mandarin ducks.
