No problem Geoff.

I meant to put a footnote saying that the request was open to any of the Peak afficionados (of which I know you are one!)

I've become obsessed with the place and want to get over there every weekend if I could. I'd just been revisiting the same sites, great as they are but think I need to go to the next level. I've been to barn farm a few times following your endorsement on a camping thread last summer. Great spot to explore from. I spent most of today scouring the derbys section. I thought Castle Naze & Fin Cop looked good and have you got any thoughts on Carl Walk? Looks nice and atmospheric even if it is a b*ggar to make sense of.

I went to Barbrook 1 last year but couldn't get to the cairn circle or swine sty so need to get that sorted soon.

Thanks for the info mate it's much appreciated.

No problem mate, and if you give your lass a bit of money to go shopping instead of boring her looking at rocks i'd be only too happy to whizz you (taking as much time at the sites as you want ) between some of the less known ones of your choosing, i really can't get enough of the places right on my doorstep to be honest and i'm more than happy to act as a free guide to anyone who wants a fellow stone nut along with them for the day, i fooking love this sh*t. ! : )

As for Stu, blows my knowledge of the peaks to pieces every time i walk with him, top bloke and second to non when it comes to knowledge of the area. ; )
Why'd ya think i talked him into doing Pecsaetan with me, he's the Pete Glastonbury of Derbyshire. :^)

I was hoping you’d say that! That would be f*cking superb mate. I think I can scrape up the cash for the missus in the next few weeks! I could only do a weekend though, would that suit you?

I’ll shout a pub lunch and a couple of ales of course. I was thinking the sites I mentioned earlier but also would be good to get some of your suggestions (doffing my cap to someone with greater knowledge of the area). Even going to some I’ve already been to aka Pea Low, Long Low and the show sites with a fellow stone nut would be immense. Would make a change from the usual nagging of “I’m bored let’s go!”

Stu sounds like the connoisseur no doubt. I could tell from reading the posts and links on the site.
