Parents' visit: Crich, Carsington Water and Monsal Dale

My parents visited me for the weekend. On the Saturday, we did a morning walk in the Derwent Valley near Crich, then headed to Carsington Water to meet up with my uncle and his family. On the Sunday, we did a longer walk from Taddington, through Monsal Dale and Chee Dale.
