This time I went to Edale, a tiny village in Peak District, England. From there I went for a four hour long hike. The views up there were definitely worth it… well, see for yourself! I’ve made a quick stop at the [Edale Visitor Centre](https://g.page/MoorlandVisitorCentreEdale?share=), as in the typical me way I forgot to take the batteries for the GPS - and I did forget to replace them after my [getaway to Wales](/album/sunday-in-wales). Going up was quite challenging, especially considering my lack of any kind of shape (other than round). As the initial climb was a bit steep, there was at least a few times I’ve almost given up. Heck, I’ve laid down for a few minutes about half way up to the top to. Once I was able to stand again I needed to make a decision - to go back or to keep going up? Well, I felt better, so I’ve decided - up. Just going to take it a bit slower and make more stops, when necessary. Eventually I did get over the initial climb - 300 meters up over a 1.5km route - the views (and the wind) were blowing me away. Of course once I’ve reached the top, the feeling of accomplishment has overridden any tiredness. Much to my surprise, a lot of people were already there - almost like they couldn’t sleep or something? The views were stunning though. Overall, I enjoyed the hike quite a lot. Peak District has a lot more to offer and I’m certain it won’t be my last time there. ![](https://cdn2.pelica.net/photo/202309/PXL-20220604-091240311-629bc7efa6b7a.jpg) ![](https://cdn2.pelica.net/photo/202309/DSC08308-629bc7f74a505.jpg) ![](https://cdn2.pelica.net/photo/202309/DSC08311-629bc7fe824d3.jpg) ![](https://cdn2.pelica.net/photo/202309/PXL-20220604-095531068-MP-629bc8315552a.jpg) ![](https://cdn2.pelica.net/photo/202309/PXL-20220604-103225163-629bc83d94878.jpg) ![](https://cdn2.pelica.net/photo/202309/PXL-20220604-105218664-629bc85985986.jpg) ![](https://cdn2.pelica.net/photo/202309/PXL-20220604-110146771-629bc894ef4d2.jpg) ![](https://cdn2.pelica.net/photo/202309/PXL-20220604-110244070-629bc8992750d.jpg) ![](https://cdn2.pelica.net/photo/202309/PXL-20220604-111432301-629bc89cb7970.jpg) ![](https://cdn2.pelica.net/photo/202309/PXL-20220604-112641644-629bc8a0865e2.jpg) ![](https://cdn2.pelica.net/photo/202309/DSC08328-629bc8a5a2727.jpg) ![](https://cdn2.pelica.net/photo/202309/PXL-20220604-113241917-629bc8af8b863.jpg) ![](https://cdn2.pelica.net/photo/202309/DSC08342-629bc8b64fee2.jpg) ![](https://cdn2.pelica.net/photo/202309/PXL-20220604-113725831-629bc8b94a928.jpg) ![](https://cdn2.pelica.net/photo/202309/PXL-20220604-113856530-629bc8bd22498.jpg) ![](https://cdn2.pelica.net/photo/202309/PXL-20220604-115001812-629bc8c09b0e2.jpg) ![](https://cdn2.pelica.net/photo/202309/PXL-20220604-115056639-629bc8c3c317a.jpg) ![](https://cdn2.pelica.net/photo/202309/PXL-20220604-115551513-629bc8c722c64.jpg) ![](https://cdn2.pelica.net/photo/202309/PXL-20220604-121110535-629bc8cb0b8f7.jpg)
