Harboro Rocks - Peak District Walk
Monday 3rd March 2008
I wasn't going walking today but the bright blue sky was too much to resist and so after lunch I headed out to Harboro Rocks with a vague idea of walking to Rainster Rocks, via the High Peak Trail, if the promised snow showers stayed away. Although I could see evidence of other places getting caught by showers I was lucky enough to avoid them and so I finally got to explore Rainster Rocks.
