Trip to Sheen Bunkhouse in Derbyshire March 2011

13 of us had another enjoyable weekend away in March. The sun shone for the majority of the time enough for shirtsleeves some days.

As usual, some of the group did more walking than others, we took food enough for a small army I think, and there was an excellent choice for the Friday night's meal. On the Saturday some went to the pub for a meal and/or drinks and others stayed at the hostel and ate, drank and watched the tv. On the Saturday, again some did the peaks, whilst others did a shorter somewhat less strenuous walk, and others just went for a bus ride and met us with their car in Hartington. There are always options.......... However some sort of hill climbing is recommended to see the very best views.

If you climb a Derbyshire peak this one of the sort of views you can expect.

Just a taste.
There are lots of photographs of our trip to Sheen in Derbyshire in the Gallery, or use https://picasaweb.google.com/dunstablebogtrotters to see photos from our trips and local walks.

This is a very small panoramic view video taken just down the footpath from the Bankhouse.
