Rambling in the Peak District

Our hats are pulled down low

This is the Peak District in Derbyshire, north of the Midlands, where we are based. 

Never let it be said that Poms are an idle lot.  There were people hiking everywhere.  We camp at beautiful Eedale village with a massive camp ground and nice hot showers and a pub.  We watched about 150 school kids come, fully-laden,  into the grounds from their own hike.   They had big backpacks and water bottles, and a map around the neck.  They were obviously tired and bent forward with the weight of their load, but they weren't complaining at all, but rather, chatting quietly as they trudged up the hill past our campervan.
