Hope Valley November 2007
23rd November 2007

A week in the Derbyshire Peak district and a days escape from the wife and S.I.L. saw me whizzing over to the Hope Valley line. Photos taken at Hope, Edale and Cowburn Tunnel. I eventually found Tunstead Quarry...you'd think a big hole in the ground would be easy to find...still took me until well into the afternoon. More photos to add.
