Camping in the Peak District

Well we couldn't have asked for better weather for a camping weekend!

We headed up to Derbyshire on Friday night for the weekend, and stayed at The Royal Oak in the tiny hamlet of Hurdlow, in between Buxton and Ashbourne. We stayed there before, in pre-Bonnie days, about 3 years ago and would highly recommend it. The food in the pub is AMAZING and they do the BEST CHIPS ever... (I'm very fond of my food ;)) The facilities are also nice for camping, which is very important - I like to feel comfortable showering!!

We had a quiet evening with C's mum who joined us for the weekend (she stayed in a nearby B and B rather than camped) and then the next day headed off for a circular walk. It was a truly lovely day


Bonnie all set up for Breakfast :)

We left Hartington in the morning and walked about 7 and a half miles, landing back where we started mid afternoon. Rolling hills, stiles, and cattle all combined to create a lovely stroll through the English countryside.








The next day we went to Bakewell, but my camera had run out of battery! We will be sure to revisit so I will have to be more careful next time :)

My camera case was perfect, and I have had two requests for similar cases already! On the to do list...

Hope you had a lovely weekend, whatever it may have held.
