Day 6 - Matlock - A VERY RARE DAY!!!!


We left Bakewell in the rain and arrived at Matlock in the rain! After pitching up we headed off to Matlock, knowing it was a fair walk downhill into town. We stopped off at the Royal Oak in Tansley, a little village on the outskirts of Matlock. On arrival in Matlock it was raining again. We had a wander around the town (not very impressive), collected some essential supplies and MISSED THE BUS back uphill to Tansley village by minutes, so ended up walking another 3 miles or more UPHILL back to the site!!!! The reason this was a very rare day is that I didn't take one photograph in Matlock!!!! We were told that Matlock Bath was much better but had already decided to leave the area a day early because of the weather so unfortunately we never got to find out first hand.
