Back up the lane to Cote Bank on a lovely summers day

The walk up the lane always looks so different as you walk back and I love it as we round Windy Bend and see the far view over to the Goyt Valley.
The sheep sheds at Stubbins hamlet at the Chinley end of the farm lane.
Looking over towards Stubbins Piece on the skyline.
The hill in the distance is Little Eccles.
And here is Eccles Pike.
Past the hawthorns and hollies where the pheasants hide.
Jess and Nicole playing just beyond the cattle grid - Jess is passionate about sticks!
Looking down across the Big Meadow.
More peeps into the Big Meadow.
Jess patiently waiting for someone to throw her stick up Windy Bend for her.
The best view in the world?

And at last we are nearly home - Cote Bank farmhouse is just visible.
Even Jess is tired after the walk but the fresh Derbyshire air is so wonderful and the views just lift the spirits.
