On our last full day in the UK we picked up our friend in Hazel Grove for a 13km hike starting in Edale. We had tried to hike to Mam Tor from Edale in December 2022 (see sketch No.69-2262) but never made it to the top because of the rain. This time the weather was perfect and sunny. I sketched this after a scramble through rocks to the first high point where we ate lunch. We then hiked along the ridge past spectacular rock formations and then down “Jacobs Ladder” ending at the lovely pub, The Old Nags Head, in Edale for a beer. Somehow we summoned the energy to go shopping in Lidl when we got back into Manchester, so we we were very tired in the evening.
