One Man Banned Posted February 5, 2007 Author Share Posted February 5, 2007 Well we're here in Castleton just outside Hope in the "High Peak" District and 'll tell you what it's chilly here! Just settling down with a hot cup of coffee and then I'm off to sort out some dinner - I'm starving! Ahhhhhh A xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen & co. Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 My sister lives in Wetton, a tiny little village not that far away from there I think you can see Thor's cave from her garden, and walk/cycle the Manifold valley cycle path. It's a lovely part of the world karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 "The George" in Castleton is very good. Some fab walks. And you must visit the caverns (Blue John). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I love the peaks Andrew, especially Castleton - we stayed there in 2005 when we went on a drive round the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linda Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I wish I did! We don't have many hills round these parts. I think Anne Myles is at Hope, just up the road from Castleton. I should have popped in to say hello! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myles Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Linda, how could you, you must have driven right past my door. You must pop in for a cuppa next time and that goes for all of you. Saying well when I was in Castleton......and "Ooops, word censored!"ody pops in. You know I might get a complex, I promise I do shower daily Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 It would have been lovely to see you and your family. We're hoping to come back your way May half-term so let us know if you are about. You'll probably have Andrew turning up on your doorstep at any moment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted February 6, 2007 Author Share Posted February 6, 2007 funny you should say that...... I Pm'd Anne yesterday when I realised that we would be going through Hope on the way to the site, and we're arranging a coffee some time soon! It's lovely and crisp and frozen today - done a fair bit of walking and Molly is a very happy Colly dog today. Popped into Glossop to a caravan centre to consider buying an awning and now have no idea which one to go for and should I spend £300+ more than what I was going to as this one has this and that one has the other blah blah blah..... So having a hot cup of coffee and some chocolate right now to make me feel better!! A xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I'm not a million miles away and wouldn't mind gatecrashing if: 1. It's not snowing...I'm a cowardy custard when it comes to driving in snowy weather. 2. I'm not working. 3. You don't mind. Hope that's not too cheeky of me. The station cafe at Grindleford is fab....scruffy and the best chips in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myles Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Egluntine, you'd be more than welcome on my part, we could have a mini omlet meet. Your more than welcome to visit anytime, we could have tea and scones at mine if you'd like or cake or go to a cafe Linda you'd also be welcome anytime. My tea and coffee are a very reasonable price Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
