We got the tents up – just after it had finished raining! The rest of the afternoon has been sunny and warm.

I was let out for lunch…
By lunch time there had only only been one small, easily solved issue with the new server so I went out for lunch in the sun. A takeaway sausage in a bap with tea, then a drive round the corner to the Horncastle Community Wood.

Waiting for a server…
Octagon Technology is running a project over the next couple of weekends to replace and upgrade the servers at a client in Horncastle. This morning I have been waiting for the delivery of our “Disaster Recovery” server to site. – so I had my tea outside whilst waiting, under this oak tree.

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.

Peak District
As the weather was not great, rather than walk in the hills we thought we would go to Bakewell and follow a short section of a walk Diana had sent me. She had watched a television program where Tony Robinson had been walking in the Peak District and exploring the history of the area. Diana had sent me a PDF, she had got from the show website – so we had a plan.
First stop was Bakewell.
We fled from the tourists and walked up to All Saints Church – where we had an excellent tea and home made cake. (Well Richard had coffee!)
Ratatosk – from the Anglo-Saxon Cross in the churchyard.
Then we moved onto Ashford-in-the-Water – where like Branston there is a Sheepwash.
Sheepwash Bridge
Following lunch by the river we walked up to the Magpie Mine – but using mainly footpaths rather than the suggested road route.

Back at the campsite the evening was nice enough to cook and eat outside.
Tidying up
Octagon took a contract over a couple of weeks back and today Martin and I got into the server room to start the tidy up job.

Business Meeting
I had a business meeting this morning – which drastically over-ran and so unexpectedly included an invitation to join the team for lunch.
