A steady drive up the M1 to Edale, the only hold-ups were once I got off the motorway, in and around Chesterfield. Nice lunch at the Cheshire Cheese in Hope, then on to the welcoming Ollerbrook Barn B&B. Mark & Teresa are wonderful and I always stay here if I can.
After a quick nap I walked up to Ringing Roger to admire the view and give my legs a brief hint of what is to come. I got up there without any problems, but the descent down Golden Clough to the Grinds Brook and down to the Nag's Head was steep and took time. Knees seem OK so far though.
Swift half in the Nag's Head, then back to Ollerbrook. 7.30am breakfast tomorrow and then, off we go!

Have a good one. It seems a long time ago that I was doing the same in April 1987 but much has passed since then and over those years I have walked again on many bits and pieces of The PW and it rarely fails to satisfy - it is a splendid LGP.
