Last week with a couple of like-minded chums I had a day out in Derbyshire. Our destination was to find Bronze age rock carvings on the rocks behind The Druid Inn at Birchover. As I used to camp nearby with the family in the early 1980's I was appointed 'tour guide'.
After a splendid lunch at The Druid and armed with sticks and cameras we scrambled up to the extensive millstone grit outcrops, where I discovered that half a pint of 'Druid ale' cured my vertigo! We discovered lots of carved steps and seats but the ancient carvings were elusive even with photos and directions from the website
Then after an amble to nearby down town Winster with it's Market Hall owned by the NT, no visit to Derbyshire would be complete without a browse in Brierlow book store (see previous post Jan I think) . We limited ourselves to 30 mins so we could fit in tea at Longnor before heading home.
Yes folks it was another action-packed day out for 3 ladies of an uncertain age.
