Well had a couple of nights out but here is the latest one.

Stayed at Hardhurst campsite in Hope.
A good chill out was needed but the campsite in Hathersage was shut during the week so had a walk round Hathersage before heading back to Hope. but then missed my train so ended up in the pub as you do for an hour lol. Then the fun started. Went for the train to Hope and got talking to a chap hiking from Hungary. Got off the train at the stop before i should then was wondering where the bloody campsite was lol. It was dark at this point and couldn't understand why google maps on my phone kept putting me miles away from the camp. After 30 mins or so i realised i'd got off at wrong stop and eventually found the site. Had to pitch up in the dark. That was fun. Had took my tea with me but the pub ( The travellers Rest ) across the road was calling me to have a calming pint. Got up late in the morning but had breakfast and packed up. Sun was out so walk and pub was on my mind. Found a nice one in Hope ( The Oldhall Hotel )where i walked thru. Tea rooms next door for a lovely breakfast too. Nice pint as well to set me up for the afternoon. I walked thru Hope over to Castleton and up to the caverns and over Man Tor. The sun was out and it was a cracking day. Stopped and made myself a brew and chilled in the sun before i headed towards Buxton. Was a beautiful day. But alas my legs didn't want to go that far so stopped at a place called Sparrowpit then a short walk down to Dove Holes. Wish i had stayed another night now but going to venture again soon. Very nice walk from Blue John Cavern over to Doveholes. Taking a camera next time for some shots.

Nice little site cheap and cheerful and loads of hot water. Couple of vids on Youtube of the site if the need to see. Looking for somewhere to try out on Sunday night then a nice walk monday
