There is life in the old dog yet!

Over the weekend we went down to the Rother Valley Country Park for a walk. We parked close by next to the Trans Pennine Trail and then walked down the Trail until we were just in Derbyshire before heading back up and into the Park.

We walked around the far side of the lake and decided that as the sun was shining we would call into the cafe for a cup of tea.

After a very civilised break sitting in the sun watching the wildlife and drinking tea, we set off again to the top end of the lake where we crossed over the railway and re-joined the TPT. The bridges over the railway had very steep steps so I ended up carrying Holly up and down the steps for both bridges! The next day it took me a while to work out why the muscles in my thighs and upper arms were aching, it was carrying 25Kg of dog+cart that did it.

When we got back to the car the GPS said it had been a little over 5 miles. Holly looked as if she could have done it all again. Only it was raining quite heavily by that point and I didn't fancy carrying her over the bridges again so we went home to bake bread and cherry cake.
