WalkMap: Upper Dove Valley


Thought I might start mapping/blogging the walks I do, particularly around the cottage.

Here's the first one.

Chatsworth - Sotheby's at Chatsworth

Nice morning looking round the Chatsworth House "Sothebys in the Garden" exhibition. Best two pieces were Mark Quinn's huge floating baby (called Planet - a 2001 reference?) and Zadok Ben-David's Sunny Moon - which close up was just a circular puzzle-cut tree, but form a distance became a stunning 3D image of a tree/wood - a great perception trick.

Climbing at Froggat

The girls and I had a nice afternoon climbing on Froggat - the first time I've taken them out climbing on my own outdoors. We couldn't find the climbing guide in the cottage so we've no idea which route we were on, but they both did two climbs each, and not easy by the look of things. It didn't even rain, although it was a bit blowy belaying up on the top.

Broadband in the Peak District

Got broadband into the cottage today. 2MBPS unlimited from Tiscali. Working within 5 mins of opening the box, very straight forward. Next step is to replace their modem with a WiFi ADSL router.
