Baslow Edge above and below.

(Nikon Transfer failed to transfer all the pictures in one file hence the two maps)

for a slideshow of the countryside

We intended to visit Curbar Edge stopping for a barn along the way. Once at Curbar we thought Baslow Edge more appealing. It was very cold indeed and we wore all our pullovers and gloves.	Barn by Clodhall Lane	Dull day	Curbar Edge more promising
From Baslow Edge	The light kept changing	Baslow Edge	Maybe there were Highland cattle about

Blaeberries and probably lots of alternate names	Vaccinium vitis idea flower and fruit	Highland cattle	We left as the light was going

We went out early on Saturday morning around Cromford
