Category: Monsal Trail

Well OK, I’ve walked the whole of the Monsal Trail before… But last time, we did it over two days! Walked to around the half way point from Bakewell. Then the following day, we walked from the other end at Blackwell Mill… Of course, had Cooper with us then…

This time, we walked the whole thing in one go… From start to end, then back to the start! Covering a total distance of 18.53 miles!

It was also the longest walk that Bugsy has EVER done in his life! So, very proud of him today!

Today Mark and myself set off to the Monsal Trail yet again! This time we parked at (Topley Pike layby on the A6) then walked down 1 in 5 hill to the start/end of the Monsal Trail at Wyedale. We then walked a good 7 miles to the Headstone Viaduct. Which of course did meant we had to walk the whole way back again! We did really notice that 1 in 5 whole walking back up to to the car!

I will now leave you with some of the many photos I took!
