Started my walk in Tideswell Dale. It was a lovely sunny day today. Walked to Litton Mill and then followed the River Wye to Millers Dale. The River starts to widen after a while and then one enters Water Cum Jolly Dale. A very small dale which gets flooded in the winter months but is a delightful sight with its limestone "Rubicon Wall". There is a great view from the other side of the River looking towards the "Rubicon Wall" with the weir in the foreground. I then walked through Cressbrook Mill and on to Cressbrook Dale. I did not walk through the bottom of the dale but above and then crossed it. The next dale was Tansley Dale which took me near to the village of Litton. I carried on to Tideswell and then on to Monks Dale. This was like walking through a jungle - very overgrown and indistinct slippery paths. Walked along Monsal Trail to return to start.
