Derwent Edge

Jen and me decided to have a walk up to Back Tor via Derwent Edge. We started from the intriguingly named Cutthroat Bridge and headed up towards the Wheel Stones (also known as the Coach and Horses). The strong breeze kept us cool and on reaching Whinstone Lee Tor we had wonderful views into the Derwent valley. We continued past the Wheel Stones to the trig point at Back Tor with extensive views over towards Kinder and Bleaklow all the way.

On the return trip we diverted towards Moscar house and doubled back to Cutthroat Bridge, followed closely part of the way by an over-friendly horse. This gave a slightly longer walk but with gentler gradients.
