October 2023. Ladybower Reservoir, Peak District. Mrs RM had been getting jealous of other people’s Instagram posts of the Ladybower sinkhole, so she drove the 5 miles out of Sheffield on Saturday afternoon only to be disappointed by a mere dribble. But Ladybower still looks autumnally gorgeous. and while we were there in it seemed… Continue reading POSING TABLES IN THE LADYBOWER

CONFIDENCE IN PUBLIC TRANSPORT AT THE LITTLE JOHN
October 2023. Hathersage. Peak District. An hour in Hathersage before the return to Sheffield. I was wearing inappropriate footwear so I couldn’t tackle Dale’s Bottom or Robin Hood’s Stoop. But after continuing to tick the GBG24 in singles at the Scotsmans Pack I did head up the lane to tick Little John’s grave.

We’d headed about an hour south on Saturday for that final Derbyshire tick,… Continue reading HELD UP ON THE WAY TO THE PARWICH LEGION
UP ECCLES PIKE
21st December 2022. Back on the train from Marple to Manchester, only a couple of stops till GBG23 tick No. 2 at Whitehough via Chinley. It’s quite possible that James has been in more GBG entries than all but six people in the world, you know, given how many pubs I took him in as… Continue reading UP ECCLES PIKE
GOING OVER THE HOUR ROUND LADYBOWER
18th October 2022. Mrs RM was chastising me for “only going to pubs” and insisted we actually visit some of the Peak District that we actually moved to Sheffield to explore nearly two years ago. Everyone seemed to be heading to Ladybower Reservoir to see the flooded village emerge into view, the biggest crowds since… Continue reading GOING OVER THE HOUR ROUND LADYBOWER
