October 29, 2022,20 (Hartington) Pilsbury Castle (Derbys)☑️

A febulous redo of this walk that we did in spring, extremely overcast, drizzly and foggy today, however that didn't spoil the walk, it added an extra dimension to it.

June 26, 2022,20 (Hartington) Pilsbury Castle (with added Ethels) (Derbys)☑️

Slight detour to bag 2 more Ethels - Pilsbury and Carder Low. A great walk, great cardio workout!! 🥵
