We went for a Peak District walk on 18 October from the village by Arkwright's mill, can't remember the name of it now (our side of Matlock Bath). Anyway, saw this sign in the car park and though it a very summery thing to have for a permanent sign. When we finished our walk, towards the middle of the afternoon, there was an ice cream van there!

By the river is a little cafe, serving teas and snacks from a small window. Its popular, as you can see.

Meant to write about this earlier, on 4 October Julie and I did this fantastic walk from Dovedale in the peak district. About three-quarters of the way round is this lovely place to stop. We had our food and a little bottle of cava each.

For the second year running, we took part today in a charity walk in the Peak District for Marie Curie Cancer Care.

You can see the walk route information from Nokia Sports Tracker.

Some of the scenery is spectacular

We did the 10 mile walk for Marie Curie Cancer Care today. I tracked our journey using the Nokia Sports Tracker feature on my phone and uploaded it to the service so you can see exactly where we walked. I've also put the photos into the service and you can see where we took them.

It was a great day, despite the rain for the first couple of hours, as this picture of Dave, Jacky, Bill and Jan shows.

We walked steadily and although we couldn't see much from Mam Tor, we get some unusual sights, like this mist on just one side of the mountain.
We stopped for a bit and had a snack just over half-way round. It was quite windy so we didn't sit still for long
There seemed to be a lot of people walking and when we finished saw this sign saying how much everyone had raised in total:
I collected my certificate and we had a pint in the pub.
You can see all the photos in the collection for the walk.
