After a walk through Cressbrook, Tideswell & Millers Dale I decided to record a boo about the route while wandering along the Monsal Trail #PeakDistrict #PeakRoutes #Derbyshire

A wander in the #Glorious #PeakDistrict from Howden Reservoir up to Grinah Stones & Bleaklow Stones and back via the River Westend. #PeakRoutes
Not every walk has to be an epic, with 25+ miles in a day or with hundreds of metres of ascent. This week my friend Ray & I headed to Alport for a wander down Lathkill Dale and then back via the Limestone Way and Bradford Dale. I was doing a dual recording during this AudioBoo with my GoPro for the footage and my Zoom H1 for the Audio. If you would like to have a look at the video you can do so by heading to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MLsrI62MfY #PeakDistrict #PeakRoutes
This is part 2 of a walk starting from Barber Booth. I then walk up Jacobs Ladder, over to Kinder Low, to the official summit area, have lunch at Pym Chair, pass Crowden, Grindsbrook and then head down via Ringing Roger to Edale before crossing the fields back to Barber Booth

A Boo while walking in the #PeakDistrict up on #KinderScout. I also attempt to cross a river while recording the Boo but have to dip a foot in to get across :-) #PeakRoutes #PineForest #RiverCrossing
After today's walk we visited the Woodbine Cafe. I also talk about the Lonely Walker who had lost his friends, We spotted him descending Grindsbrook in rather a panicked state.
A walk up Kinder Scout via Crowden Clough and then down via Grindsbrook Clough.
After my walk today I went for a swift drink in the Old Nags Head at Edale. I got talking with the barmaid about history and she grabbed me her book of Edale through the ages. It was a fascinating book. When I set off home I did something ever never done before, picked up a hitchhiker, he turned out to be a really nice guy who is an avid Fell Runner
I witnessed an amazing sight while walking on Kinder Scout today, amazing valley fog down in the Hope and Derwent Valleys. I mindfully describe what I'm seeing. Mentions of @Omaniblog, @PilgrimChris & @BarneyTheBear
A Boo while walking from Edale up to Ringing Roger on Kinder Scout. I meet some Moors for the Future workers who are rebuilding footpaths, I also spot some of the huge bags of stone that have all been flown in by Helicopter.
Part 3 of my 3 part Boo series today while walking in the Peak District.. I finish off by going and buying a Down Jacket from @GoOutdoors in Sheffield.

A walk across Beeley Moor and back through the forests of the Chatsworth Estate. It was a lovely autumnal day with a little rain but that didn't put us off. A map of today's walk can found at http://www.shareyouradventure.com/map/os/DeanRead/Peak-District-Beeley-Moor-1
A visit to Hob Hurst's House which is a 3,000 year old burial mound near Chatsworth in the Peak District. #PeakRoutes

A very impromptu interview with Anthony Attwood the managing director of Darley Abbey Mills.
Darley Abbey sits at the southern end of the 15mile UNESCO Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site. A pay a quick visit to the mill while I was passing by to find out more.
A quick historical run down and some sounds from the Doubling Room at Masson Mill near Cromford in Derbyshire. Masson Mill was the pinnacle of Arkwright's industrial achievement and survives today as a thoroughly fascinating museum
I have a quick chat with Kevin Gilbert who works at the Masson Mill museum, he also fires up one of the Yorkshire Looms which are around 120 years old.
A boo from inside Sir Richard Arkwright's Cromford Mill number 1, built in 1771 it was the world first factory. It's currently under going a restoration by the Arkwright Society, it will soon be back to its former glory.
I pay a visit to my local UNESCO world Heritage site, Cromford Mill built by Sir Richard Arkwright in 1771. A place that I should know a lot more about, so I'm here to learn more.

My thoughts after a saddening experience at very well known Peak District property. I always try and support the local economy but felt rather un impressed after visiting one of my favourite cafe/restaurants
The weather this summer has been terrible, that is no understatement, it really has been rubbish. I know it must be digitally programmed into our British DNA to complain about the weather but this year it really is a valid complaint. We have had the odd day here and there where it has been nice but it always seems to fall when i’m at work . I can’t let a little thing like the weather stop me from getting out into the Peak District though, I simply had to adjust my expectations a little and just get kitted out in the waterproofs.

Out walking on the border of the Peak District in a storm. Thunder, lightening and lots of rain. Perfect conditions to thoroughly test out my Karrimor eVent Alpiniste Kacket
I made a video and wrote a post about today's exploits http://www.peakroutes.com/blog/karrimor-elite-alpiniste-event-jacket-review/
Here is the link to part 1 http://audioboo.fm/boos/856539-thoughts-on-the-documentary-alone-in-the-wild
My thoughts having just watched the documentary called Alone in the Wild. It was made back in 2009 and stars the film maker Ed Wardle surviving in the Canadian Yukon wilderness area. I was amazed by the concept and it was an interesting look at the effects solitude has on the human mind. I've been fascinated by the Canadian wilderness for a long while now and I'm a huge fan/disciple of Ray Mears. I've read books, I've practiced bushcraft, I've foraged for food in an amateur way, would I be able to deal with the solitude? Only by being in that situation could I really be sure. #borealforest #bushcraft #canada #hiking #outdoors #raymears #survival #wilderness #PeakRoutes

Walking is one of my biggest passions in life, the freedom and oneness with the landscape really appeal to me. I crave solitude at times when it comes to walking, sadly in the Peak District there are very few places that you can go to get away from the crowds. Over these last few years i’ve made it my mission to try and explore every corner of the Peak and seek out some new areas that I haven’t set foot before. As i’m from the Chesterfield area I mainly dedicated my walking time to the eastern or central areas of the Dark Peak, its just so easily accesible to me so I can safely say I have that area covered. The western area of the Peak is slightly less trodden by me so i’ve set a goal of ticking off as much as possible this year.
