Once parked, we found our way to the start of the route where we decided to go backwards. …and off into the Peak District the Mam Tor way we went

We also met some SUPER cute sheep on the way back to the car – just look at their little stocky bodies and kissable lips! It was all I could do not to kiss them and hug them and… OK, I’m a bit weird! If you dead further up the road, you will find that there is sheltered free parking which leads you straight to the walk. En route we met a family from the B&B heading out for a walk, we said our ‘hellos’ and continued to the car to get back on track and to finally get around to hiking. It wasn’t, but we did spot somewhere better to park. We weren’t able to pay though as every one of the pay boxes had been crow barred – much to our amusement as I trudged up and down the road trying to get rid of some money!Ĭhecking in with our map again, we headed down to a B&B to see whether it was the car park we were after. While Jit grabbed lunch, I headed to pay for the parking. I do love a drive through High Peak (not only so that I can regale the story of the crazy sound that comes from the Stockport Hydro! …I’m note sure Jit agrees having heard it one hundred or so times!)Īfter cruising around for quite a while looking for the National Trust car park, we ended up siding up in one of the bays to the side.

We planned to drive through Stockport as it would avoid the traffic issue that are inevitable on the way to Glossop and managed to find that we were able to enjoy a bit of an exciting countryside road trip on the way. We pretty had everything we needed and off we headed to explore the Peak District the Mam Tor way. (again, I’ll come on to that at some point I promise!) So to put amends to that, I have decided (as it is under an hour from Manchester) that it is going to be the top of our list for hiking destination for our one day holidays. On Sunday after sorting the garden and trimming the hedges, we took to the road to explore the Peak District the Mam Tor way.ĭespite having lived in Manchester for over 15 years and growing up on the Wirral, I have hardly even dented the Peak District.
