Another day, another old railway track

This time it's part of the Monsal Trail in the Derbyshire Peak District, one we'd wanted to visit for some time.

Party leader Philippe, ably assisted by Tine

The opening to the Headstone Tunnel near Little Longstone. Sadly the 'puddle' was too deep for us to cross.

Here's the reason why: rainwater dripping over the rocks

Great Longstone station, the old platforms still to be seen

We saw dramatic skies...

...and a friendly robin red-breast, chirruping away.

Phil drove us onto Monsal Head with its view over the Wye valley...

...and more dramatic skies...

...including a 'murder' of crows (and yes, it's the correct term)!

In the evening we enjoyed a wonderful tapas meal with Phil's friends, but first of all: cheers!
