Walking – The Viking Way

With the end if the summer camping season rapidly approaching, and with the next two weekends booked with a server change over for a client, I have planned a short backing trip to the regular Camping and Caravan Club site near Woodhall Spa using the Viking Way.

This is also a busy weekend as I have to finish a proposal for a client to provide an integrated email solution between an office in the UK and locations in Southern Africa both in the cities and in more remote places – so using our cloud server I am planning to work that this evening on my iPhone.

The Viking Way

This sign is not as accurate as it could be – it looks like the path follows the line of the hedge, when actually the path is marked and heads across the middle of the field.

the sign is at the junction shown in the map clip as you approach the abbey ruins from Fiskerton

the path is very distinct when looking back

The Bell at Coleby

This morning I was at The Bell at Coleby helping them get to grips with some software they are using.

Their beer garden has a great selection of very photographic objects, making it easier for me to find a photo of the day.

This photograph was taken with the latest version of Camera+, cropped in the app’s Lightbox and then the light was lifted with the Clarify filter.

A few rain drops

As I was leaving a client today, the rain was just starting and I caught just a few on this before it became a deluge.

Note

I updated the WordPress app on my iPhone (in readiness for iOS7) – however someone forgot to include a “Done” button when adding categories to a post. So to get back to editing my post I had to close the app and then reopen it. So WordPress either needs to let me know the secret way to get back to the editor or put the button back.

More Peak District

We got the tents down this morning and managed to eat our breakfast outside before the rain came along.

Today’s plan was to get some photos and a coffee before heading home. We got the tea, coffee and Derbyshire Oatcakes with bacon at Stocks Cafe, Chapel-en-le-Frith. I’d recommend a visit there to anyone.

Why Stocks Cafe? Here is the answer.

We moved on from there to Blue John Cavern and Edale.

There was a living roof on the Visitor Centre in Edale.

The Kinder Trespass started from Edale in 1932.
