After a day with my friend Nigel, I was back to walking solo as I headed for Tegg´s Nose on the Gritstone Trail. The weather was again cold and grey but as the route skirted the western edge of the Peak District, the scenery became progressively more spectacular. Having lost the route of the Gritstone Trail towards the end of the previous day, I navigated my way back onto the route and picked up the markers again shortly before the climb onto Tegg´s Nose. This steep climb on to the summit afforded fantastic views of the surrounding countryside and I spent some time exploring the remains of the millstone grit quarry. The day became a series of climbs and descents to the village of Disley, where I was picked up by Nigel.
