Day off, and hooray for not having to get up at 5am... although we did get up at 7am, watched the news and then an hour of football :-( during which I displayed my more or less complete ignorance of the game.  Then I set off for Winster in the Peak District to join the Derbyshire Dales group yet again (for the third time in a month) on a very enjoyable walk.  Yes, there was a fair bit of mud (but as I've given up cleaning my boots I don't care) but the scenery and views were lovely.  We walked past Nine Ladies stone circle, and some of us walked up Robin Hood's Stride, a gritstone outcrop near Elton, and I would have climbed one of the pinnacles if I hadn't been wearing very muddy walking boots... but then I would say that wouldn't I!

The extras are of a very early Celandine, and an old millstone quarry festooned with ferns where we ate our lunch.
