The first proper walk was at Cressbrook Dale (2, 3) near Tideswell. We were accompanied by our neighbours Bernard and Heidi. This was Ruskin's first exposure to sheep - a cause of considerable puzzlement - which he was very keen to investigate.
We had to carry him part of the way since he was still too young for long walks. As you can see - he didn't appreciate this at all!
"Why
can't I walk for myself?"
Next was a trip to the ruins of Errwood hall in the Goyt Valley between Buxton and Whaley Bridge. This was with Malcolm, Pauline, Aimee and Alex.
