White Edge and Curbar Edge

After breakfast at Outside, Calver Crossroads, Karen drove is to the layby at Curbar Gap where we left the car.

The morning started chilly and was foggy or misty and we walked up the road passing the car park and then after passing through a gate, followed a path leading to the start of White Edge.

There was a bit of wind here and it was blowing clouds of mist across the ground in front of us with skylarks singing and taking off from the heather periodically.

We continued along the Edge with the mist gradually clearing, although there was quite a lot of haze in the air for the remainder of the day.

When we reached the Longwood Estate, we stopped at the National Trust café at the Lodge for a cup of tea and a snack.

Afterwards, we followed a public foot path across the parkland of the estate and then along the edge above Grindleford to reach a lane in Nether Padley.

We continued on paths through woods for a while soon reaching the start of the path along the top of Curbar Edge after crossing a minor road,

We continued along this path passing along Curbar Edge until we arrived back the Curbar Gap.
