February 2, 2025,Jane Eyre Trail - Hathersage to Stanage Edge

A gentle wander around the Hathersage countryside exploring the places which inspired one of my favourite books, Jane Eyre. It was busy up on Stanage Edge as always!

November 1, 2024,Hathersage to Stanage Edge (baby-carrying)

A loop from Hathersage to Stanage Edge. Up through the fields then past North Lees and Stanage Plantation, emerging onto the Edge and then returning past Carhead Rocks. Some steep climbs, but hopefully great views to make them worth it!
