Curbar Edge - Peak District Walk

A relatively short walk along the edges so Robert could try out his 'new' rucksack. It was another dry if somewhat grey day along good paths, so no bog hopping, which is always a blessing at this time of year.

Curbar Edge. You can walk along the path and never really feel like you are on an edge.
Or, you can get closer to the edge to appreciate why it is so popular with climbers.
Of course you can just lie there and appreciate the view, whilst testing out your new rucksack, as Robert is doing.
Baslow Edge, which is probably best appreciated from Curbar Edge.
