Looks like you had a good weekend Matty.

Spent many a Summer Sunday in the Chatsworth grounds a few years ago, lovely place. :D

When I was at school, I did a sponsored walk round Ladybower. Its bigger than it looks!! :shock:

Well done Matty.
Derwent Valley is a lovely area, glad you had a good time
If you go again & are on (dare i say??) decent Mountain Bikes, try Cut-Gate at the very northern end of the valley.
It starts at 'Slippery Stones' & goes up, & up, & up...

I'm going to zip up my anorak now :roll:
The dam you picture is Derwent, did you notice the  617Squadron memorial (http:// http://community.webshots.com/photo/134495436/1152369802047309372IdZkYj)?? (it's on the dam you pictured)
Ladybower is the big one at the bottom that the main road passes over & commences from the visitor centre
