Ruth's visit: Shutlingloe, Shining Tor and Kedleston Park
11th July 2009 to 12th July 2009

At the start of her summer holidays, Ruth visited me in Derby for the weekend. On the Saturday, we walked on the western edge of the Peak District, over Shutlingsloe (third time lucky for me!), Shining Tor and Tegg's Nose. On Sunday morning, we did a shorter walk on some of my local footpaths around Quarndon.
