Left the beautiful town of hayfield, and followed the Pennie bridle way on. Slow work with Pete really suffering with a persistent sore knee. Had lunch in Glossop, the first internet stop for the trip.

Headed off to find the Longsdale track from Hadwich. this uses a old railway line, flat family riding territory. Just what Pete needed. But despite the flat track we had to resort to pushing making the afternoon slow. Found the campsite easily, nestled in the hills. The tuck shop was funny, odd assortment of items including a random bottle red wine and 70% coca Lint chocolate. A couple of hikers got the wine and we got the chocolate.
