After a potentially disastrous start to the morning with the boss asking if I wanted to accompany her to the local German supermarket I managed to get out for an impromptu run in the sun.

I never did respond to said offer I think she could see in my eyes that I was hoping for a slightly different German themed activity day - so that was it she didn't say I couldn't go so I grabbed the keys and made a dash for it :dog:

Next thing I know I'm driving towards Edale, with nobody but Rod Stewart for company and a plan to stop in the usual layby as I approach Mam Tor to admire the views.

Pulled out of there with the idea of driving towards Monsal Head and stopping along the way for a refreshing beverage - so I ended up in the Red Lion :thumbsup:

Finally back home via Great Longstone & Hathersage.

Now that's got to be better than pacing up and down the middle aisle and coming away with something I never wanted or would ever have used ;)

And by coincidence, a story popped up about the abandoned road just the other side of Mam Tor at the end of the Blue John Cavern's turning circle.

I'm sure you know the history but I didn't know some of these details, so for info:
