catching the bus outta chez-vegas this morning i was giddy with excitement. the snow had finally fallen on my door step. at last. letting public transport take the strain we alighted at baslow, with just a short up, the rest would be all downhill back to the house.....with a little bit of along too.
birchen edge was busy with fellow snow hunters but from white edge moor we made fresh tracks all the way down to linacre reservoir. i don't think either of us stopped smiling all day. lucky to live where we do, lucky to have working legs and willing brains and so lucky to be able to share the snow and the miles.

You face in that pic says more than any words! Brilliant! Do you have a route map for the run from Baslow to Linacre? Sounds like something I'd like to try! There's another you could do from Baslow (about 14 miles?), out of the village up to Curbar gap, down the road to the cross roads allowing you to traverse Birchen Edge to the Robin hood Inn. Head out along the Chesterfield road for a bit until the track on the right leading you towards Chatsworth. Keep going until you can split right towards Beeley Moor, then through Devils Plantation - quick downhill forest run, lovely! then out at Beeley Village before heading through Chatsworth and into Baslow again. I normally do it from Beeley (finish with a Pint in the Devonshire Arms!) Gotta be one of my favourite runs around here :oD
hiya, ooh, thanks for the info. we've yet to explore round by robin hood. i can send you a map of the route we took, did involved about 2ish miles of road but lovely quiet ones- good for cycling on ;) will try and contact you through your blog :)
Cool! Thank You! I'm hoping to start 'training' again during the half term so may well give your route a go ;o)
BTW - link to the route I mapped
