Walk from Hartington via Wolfescote and Biggin Dales

We had planned on a trip into Giants Hole with Boyd and some newcomers to the Orpheus CC but I had pulled a muscle in my back while in Hillocks Mine so Karen drove in her car and I in mine back to the Orpheus Cottage along with Keith who had spent the night at our place. Here we found Dick Marley and Boo, who had not been seen for many moths. Anyway, while Boyd, Keith, Karen and the two newcomers headed off to Giants Hole, I drove around to Hartington and parked near the Duck Pond. I had decided to repeat the walk I had done back in November which had been a wet day unlike today which was dry but very cold. Still, it's a very pleasant, if short, walk - especially along the River Dove.
