After a very early start on the wilds of White Edge Moor, much of day two was spend near Castleton, where the ruined Peveril Castle overlooks the valleys to the north. Behind the castle, Cave Dale ascends sharply towards the high moorland to the south, and today was so wet that the path up the dale was a minor torrent of muddy water. Despite the atrocious conditions we persevered, and were rewarded with some spectacular afternoon light as the sun eventually broke out from behind the clouds and painted the landscape with light and shade contrasts.

Towards sunset we went to Stanage Edge, near Hathersage, a millstone grit outcrop that used to provide the raw materials for the hand-carved circular millstones that one can find lying around the Peak District. Despite failing to find any such discarded artefacts, we ere able to clamber up to the top of the cliffs with a fine view of the sunset.
