Arrival in the Peak District in Herman

Misty Morning in Bicester
Having arrived Friday night at Brook Farm campsite (see long grassy field) near Bicester in the dark with a bright full moon and starry sky we awoke early to beautiful misty morning with clear blue sky and nobody around.

What's that noise?!
To get to the farm we had to cross a railway line and in the morning we decided to stop for a photograph!




Saturday morning the drive to the Peak District was uneventful and we arrived at the Grin Low Campsite near Buxton in time for lunch. Being October lunch was a fry up on the BBQ including sausage and fried egg.

A BBQ fry up with Herman in Grin Low
Grin Low is beautiful campsite set against a rocky cliff surrounded by rolling countryside. Nearby is Solomans Temple which is a small viewpoint tower built in 1896. It was on this walk where I had realised that I had forgotten all of our maps and walking guides for the Peak District and Wales. Which, of course, is what we've planned to do. Never mind the AA road atlas will have to do.
