We'd had a lot of rain though I didn't realise how much until later ...
Brook Bottom is about a mile outside Tideswell on Manchester Road. There's a large water trough there ...
Water Lane then runs west from Brook Bottom to Wheston.
In Wheston, at the side of the road in a small enclosure, there's an old stone cross ...
A lane then drops down from Wheston to Dale Head.
From Dale Head I walked south through Peter Dale. Usually it's a dry dale ... but not today ...
Once I'd reached the lane at the bottom of Peter Dale [and resisting the temptation of walking through Monk's Dale] I followed the Limestone Way up the hill and part way along the track towards Monksdale Farm I turned north-eastward towards Slancote Lane.
When I reached Slancote Lane I followed it southwards until it swung left, back towards Tideswell. I didn't really fancy walking along it ...
It was something of a relief to get back onto tarmac.
I passed Tideswell church and finished the walk ...
Date of walk ~ 12th December 2009
Length of walk ~ 6 1/4 miles
Total since 1st September 2009 ~ 99 3/4 miles
