Another walk through an area of the Peak District<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As we set out from the Peak District toward Yorkshire, we stopped at an area that had been an old railroad right of way for a short hike. \u00a0The viaduct in the left of the picture above and an old railway tunnel were the attractions here.<\/p>\n

We began by walking down a path through the woods that took us to a waterfall. \u00a0We didn’t know about the waterfall when we started our walk, so this was a nice surprise.<\/p>\n

After returning to our starting point, we walked in the opposite direction to get down to the viaduct and also walk through the old railway tunnel.<\/p>\n

About noon we got on the road for Rippon in Yorkshire to spend the afternoon and evening with Chris and Ann Abbey.<\/p>\n

Many of the trucks on the motorways were these extra tall ones. They are a meter taller than trucks we are accustomed to in the US.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
