A Walk from Hartington to Mill Dale

Karen's parent were staying for the week end and along with Keith, we drove in Karen's and my car to Mill Dale and left Karen's car there and then all of us drove in my car to Hartington.
Parking in Hartington, we followed the footpath leading from the public toilets and across fields to Beresford Dale. Following along the river Dove until we met the road bridge on the road back to Mill Dale.
Having arrived at Mill Dale we had sausage rolls and pasties from the small shop at “Polly's Cottage” while sitting on a wall next to the old sheep wash with various ducks looking for crumbs.
In the evening, all except Keith saw Rick Wakeman playing various pieces from solo albums and from his time with The Strawbs and Yes on a grand piano while he told funny stories in between. An excellent evening with a fantastic pianist.
