Lathkill Dale and Bradford Dale

After one of the wettest month's on record, I thought I would take advantage of the (brief) arrival of the sun to visit two of my favourite dales - Lathkill Dale and Bradford Dale.

I started at Monyash and headed down Lathkill Dale

On my last visit there was no sign of water until the bridge leading to Cales Dale. However, today the river surfaced over half a mile before the bridge

Leaving Lathkill Dale, I headed via Meadow Grange, to Youlgrave (or Youlgreave)

After lunch, I proceeded (in an orderly fashion) along Bradford Dale

On my last visit to this Dale, the river bed was dry - but not now!

I joined the Limestone Way

 and continued along past the Bradford Dams

Then up to Calling Low and Cales Dale
