A nice day out?

Hi all,

The Mrs is wanting to go out somewhere different tomorrow, somewhere that we can take the Landy and a few sandwiches and walk the dog at the same time. We live on the outskirts of the Peak District so spend alot of time walking there and just fancy a change of scenery.

We would be looking at a couple of hours maximum drive (boxing on Sky Sports tomorrow night so need to be back in time!) and we are 5 minutes from junction 29 on the M1.

Does anybody know of anywhere in the Yorkshire dales that we could try? Any other suggestions for a nice walk and picnic in the landy?

Thanks in advance

How about the Long Mynd, over in Shropshire? Some lanes to do also.

I hadn't given that side a thought, but having had a quick google on the area it certainly looks nice! 58 plate Defender 90 Hard Top

Church Stretton has some nice cafes, if they float your boat.

There's a glider station and little airfield on top...wild ponies..we picnic up there often !!

Some pics from up there with a couple of my old 90's !!

The road up to the top of the Mynd is quite exciting...a big steep drop on one side !
