After 2 highly successful weeks with Malcolm as project manager (weather), Aly pleaded to be given the chance to be project manager (weather),for a week, and this was reluctantly agreed. Unfortunately, as feared, she was an unmitigated disaster and we were soaked and frozen for most of yesterday. Malcolm therefore resumed as project manager today, with immediately beneficial results - no rain and reasonable sunshine. Aly returned to dealing with matters more suited to her abilities - buzzard spotting and toe-nail painting.
After three consecutive days of 31 miles each, today thankfully was a "rest" day, of only 17 miles. Our route from Youlgreave to Hathersage was superb, taking in the three beautiful estates of Haddon, Chatsworth and Longshaw.
Went through 500 miles on the way into Hathersage, where we met Aly's parents, Sheila and Robin, and Aly's sister Libby. Stayed at Hathersage Youth Hostel and cooked our evening meal for a nice change.
