It was a spectacular warm and sunny day when we set off and it remained so throughout. Curbar Edge is just north of Baslow in the Peak District of Derbyshire. When we arrived the car park was already filling up.
Sadly, we had missed seeing the heather at its best, but the views from the top and rock shapes and textures are always impressive.

Mum managed a scramble to a higher vantage point of the valley below.

After picnicing at the Curbar Edge side we crossed over to Baslow Edge side. The views are no less spectacular.

We must remember to investigate the stone cross that only showed up in the telephoto picture of a distant rock.

On the way back we stopped off for refreshments at the local hostellery. (Pub) A pot of tea and a glass of cider.
Next we stopped off at B and Q in Chesterfield. Opposite B and Q mum spotted a model shop. She went over to purchase my Ruby Wedding present. See below.
