Last Saturday I, my wife and her friend from Coventry decided to walk somewhere in the Peak District. So I found a route on the map that seemed to fit us three. A route of about 14km, which took off from F
airholmes visitor center. The route took us along the Upper dervent reservoir to Howden reservoir, a distance of about 5km. The path went
further along a trail up the peak plateau. Once up we continued down to the Hope Valley, on to
the S
nake P
ass and then back towards F
airholmes. The hike was pretty nice where it began, with forrest and water, went on to areas with alpine character, with ravines and ended with forests. All in all, with coffee and
photo breaks, it took us just over 5 hours. Managed to shoot for me a new bird species, a peregrine falcon
and a r
edstart. I did not get any good pics of t
he peregrine but on Redstart, which you can see below.
