I mentioned in my last post that we were hoping to get out for a longer walk and yesterday we did just that.
After the wind and rain of Friday and before the wind and rain of today we drove up to the village of Hartington which is on the Tissington Trail.
The Tissington trail starts at Ashbourne and ends at Parsley Hay where it joins the High Peak Trail. We have, over the years, walked all of the trail. This time we just walked from Hartington to Parsley Hay.
The sun was showing its face, the breeze was brisk and the views were stunning.

The trail itself is easy going underfoot and follows part of the old railway line which ran between Ashbourne and Buxton.

We passed a farm and there were lambs in the fields already.
I love to hear them bleating, mums and lambs calling to each other.

The wind picked up and the light changed
Luckily we got back to the car and had just left the car park as the rain started.
It was back to wind and rain again today.
