Youlgreave - This Way

Youlgreave - This Way, originally uploaded by KingKobra.

Well, we didn't actually go to Youlgreave....

Starting from the roadside parking just outside Monyash we headed into Lathkill Dale. I never went into the dale from this direction before, so it was interesting from that point of view.

Its a little treacherous at times having to scramble over slippery limestone boulders, and is pretty muddy in places.

Anyway, we headed down the dale, past the dry Lathkill House Cave, Indeed there was no water in the river until about another kilometre downstream, past where Cales Dale joins Lathkill Dale.

We went down to the waterfall, and rattled off a few shots. I got a few I like, but for some reason I neglected to notice a stray tree branch that managed to get into all the shots and all but ruin them. I'll know for next time.

We headed back upstream to the footbridge, and went up to One Ash Grange Farm, and onto the Limestone Trail back to Monyash. Little in the way of photo-opportunities presented themselves to me. Don't get me wrong, its a lovely place with cool views over the area, but nothing that would make a good photo in my opinion.
