Lions at their Peak

 June 28-30

Lions Tour 2024

Word went out and the band got back together in search of another Tour Story.  Lawsons escaped to the other side of the world, who can blame them?  MT located a spot a few steps up from a barn, although one of the rooms had it's own bath which somehow felt like a backward step!   Just east of Dronfield where it all started in 1983.  Easy access to the glorious  Peak District National Park.

Swish place overlooking rolling woods and fields

All very jazzy, chrome and glass everywhere, very comfortable.

Patios a go-go

Spacey 

All mod cons

Everyone arrives in time for pub meal in Holmesfield followed by late night chat.

Saturdays walk

Padley Gorge 

RL with a gammy knee so said he'd see us here at Nether Padley.

But no sign of our glorious leader!

Witnessed a bad fall at the half way café blood everywhere ambulance called.

OUCH.

Still no sign.

Turned out he couldn't get parked by the café so caught him up at the Surprise view car park.

Varied walk about 4m, dry with occasional sun

Take away curry from Dronfield - all good!

Sunday

Open Top bus trip - inspired by SD.

Hopped off at Hathersage for elevenses in Outside.

On the way to Hope.

SD said we had to get off there as the next stop was Despair.

MT stayed downstairs in the cosy covered cabin

Short walk to the Roman Fort

Not much left of it

Nothing in fact

Watched England overcome the Swiss to make the semis.

De-stressed at a nice Italian in Dronfield.
