Huddersfield and the Peak District

Richard’s ReLive video is actually the best record of the day although I’ll include a few pictures of the area and some commentary. You can get Richard’s ReLive video here: https://www.relive.com/view/v1OwKppVLXO

4.15 miles, some rain and sun, 56 degrees, 73% humidity.

Road trip! Emma and Hayley come by to take us to the Peak District (National Park) for a hike.

We had about an hour’s drive, plenty of time to observe the countryside.

This was an unusual paint job for a coffeehouse, but you’re not likely to miss it.

Peveril Castle overlooks  the town of Castleton, where the hike to climb Mam Tor (a high peak in the Peak District) begins. The castle is important for its location in the hunting ground of the Royal Forest.

Back to Simon’s house to clean up before dinner with Simon and Emma’s parents.

Simon and Emma’s parents have a beautiful view from their home.

Picture time! Emma managed the selfie: (l-r front row) Jan, Helene, Hayley; (back row) Simon, Graham, Richard. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

  1. Richard, your Relive’s are really a good addition to the narrative of your trip. They are both informative about where you have been and enjoyable to watch. Don’t know how you two find the time to put these daily adventures together with all the activities you do each day. Do you two ever sleep? Dan
