Stroll 71 Edale to Chinley

 A walk over the Pennines from Edale to Chinley. Followed the start of the Pennine Way up Jacob's Ladder to the top of the Peak district. Famous for unfathomable peat bogs, it was as dry as a bone as we enjoyed the quiet bleakness.

Bad Bunny

Rowan went with her friend Grace to see Bad Bunny at Tottenham Stadium. He is a Puerto Rican artist singer who has more streams than anyone else world wide. Sounded like a great gig.

Going to Meet The Man

In our Music Book Group we discussed the James Baldwin short story collection, Going To Meet The Man. Brilliant writing, harrowing subject matter, worth the effort.
Another shot from the Peak Forest canal.

Stroll 70 Marple to Chinley

 

The last day before the heat wave, I got a great walk in, along the Peak Forest canal up to Chinley. This shot shows the Dark Peak behind the village of New Mills. There was a lot of boating activity on the canal, a positive vibe all round.

A dales walk above the air valley. Varied and quiet with Pendle Hill looming in the background.
