The Closest Bit of the Peak District National Park To My HouseWhilst out on walking the GM Ringway, I took a slight detour about half a mile off the route. Why? Because if I did I could cross into the Peak District National Park at a point that is the closest bit of the National Park to my house.

One of the best things about walking is all the great views you get to see. So why not head off on a photographic tour of the walks I've been on?
Waterproofs, rucksacks, tents and all sorts of other stuff that you may want to equip yourself with when you head out.
