another retro post (from the Umi Hotel - evening of Wed 08/09)
Monday 06/09
day trip was to some obscure walking track areas - kinda in the region near Bakewell...
started off with lunch at a place called The Peacock. this restaurant had really nice food (lasagne) and was ?strategically? positioned near a giant roundabout - nothing else for miles...
the feature of today was lots n' lots of driving (thanks to my cousin-in-law)
as has been the trend, we had been starting later and later - today we left the house at 11:40am...
after driving around for a bit (some wrong turns and exploring) we ended up at the intended walking location - some rocks and a lookout known as Surprise View! great views, fantastic weather - great combo all round!
after the walk, we drove along the Snake Bend past two reservoirs heading up towards Manchester. This scenic tour featured... of all things... sheep and more sheep... kinda New Zealand-ish! by the time we got back to Sutton it was close to 8pm.
We had indian for dinner - at a great little place on the main road. we ended up being the only customers (others probably had dined earlier). my poor nephew was again confused and grumpy from the out of sync day...
