Weekend at Shining Cliff 24 to 27/08/2018

Chris & Janet H. organised a weekend away at Shining Cliff  independent Hostel near Ambergate in Derbyshire. Set in protected woodland and a long way from the road, sleeps 20. 14 members enjoyed a quiet stay, mostly self catering. Some group meals. The Hostel posed some maintenance problems during our stay but we managed and had a good time. On Saturday most walked S to Milton where we found a beer festival at the Hollybush Inn and caught the bus back . Sunday most went to Kedlestone Hall & Park NT. Monday some went to Bakewell market.  Mark and Jan joined us for 2 evenings whilst staying in their Campervan, Pete N had a ride out to meet us on one of his classic motorbikes. Whilst walking around Kedlestone lake in heavy rain a tree fell down just after the group had walked under it !!!!!!!!  SPOOKY and STRANGE.
