Thorpe Cloud, Dove Dale, Tissington Trail - 18th April 2018

A lovely half-day out in the White Peak after a my second visit to Alton Towers to enjoy the new Wicker Man coaster.

An ascent of Thorpe Cloud wasn't on the route but I couldn't resist

from the top


Thorpe Cloud tops out onto a brief ridge and has the classic 'mountain' shape on all sides



a steep path descends directly down this shoulder to Dove Dale

Dove Dale



There are some amazing rock formations in the dale

The Dove Holes are massive. I can't imagine what size the doves were?

Milldale



The Tissington trail makes for brisk walking

A lovely day had unfolded by the time I neared the end
