On Monday we had the morning free so we went out to Edale in The Peak District. We used to come here many years ago and hadn't been for a long time so we treated ourselves to a quick visit. It was a cold crisp day and there were not many people about so it was quiet and delightful. The birds were singing their hearts out and the signs of Spring were all around, lambs, flowers and burgeoning hedgerows.
We began our walk through the village first stop the lych gate.
Then the church hidden amongst the winter trees.

The pub was not open we were too early. Had a few pints here in the past!
Beautiful Edale.
Peer at this picture and you will see a lot of paragliding folk having a great deal of fun over Rushup Edge encountered as we climbed out of Edale. It was a spectacular and colourful sight.

"A cold, crisp day" - I miss those!
petunia:Spring is such an optimistic time of year.
welshcakes: Cold crisp days are really nice.
by coincidence i hitchhiked that same route this time last year.

benjibppper:A year out otherwise we could have met in the pub!
Great pictures but there's no way anyone would get me in a paraglider!
isabelle: Until I saw these guys up there I wouldn't have believed that you would get me doing this but it looked so cool I think I could be persuaded!
Son number three's choir gave a performance in the church many, many years ago. I remember the noisy rookery in the trees outside - the residents looking very similar to your hang gliders.
Lovely photos of an obviously lovely place. But I don't think anyone could get me to paraglide. They'd have to push me over the ledge. :D
mountainear:Those rooks were still hanging around very raucously or maybe their offspring.
leslie:Funnily enough you don't take off from a ledge you run very fast and then it seems to happen!
Nice pics !!
