Blog - 6 Thorpe Cloud and Dovedale Walk...

Sunday 26th March 2017 Peak District No3

No early start as its Mothers day and breakfast was being cooked by No1 Daughter for Mrs Jones, so we set off after a lovely cooked feast, Thorpe cloud was just over an 1hr and the sun was out we reached the carpark and instantly realised we were not going to have this place to ourselves the queue for the carpark was long, i think everyone has had the same idea the sun is out lets go here!

We had a walk along the river Dove it really is a beautiful place we reached the point where the stone steps that cross the river a queue of people waiting either side to cross, so quick long exposure shot got rid of the crowds, but not a great shot. This short but strenuous walk to the top Thorpe Cloud is well worth it, just under 950ft but lovely views from the top.

Today was not going to be a photo day just so many people but will return for a sunrise or sunset at some point. I did manage to take a couple of Aerial shots as this was well out of the way of the crowds.
