44..I went to Hope Show last year and keep intending to go to Ashover Show but haven't managed it yet.

45..I don't like horses so I won't be doing this.

46..This is somewhere I'd love to visit but I can't get there on public transport and it's not a suitable location to visit in the car with my support worker.

47..I've been here quite a few times.

48..I'm not sure but I think I might have been there on a school trip fifty years ago.

39..Fischer's is far too expensive for me. Baslow is a pretty village though and conveniently located for access to Chatsworth park.

40..The Opera House is a beautiful building but I've not seen a show there.

41..I've been a walk where I started from Monyash and was able to see these two hills from a couple of miles away; they are quite impressive.

42..I didn't even know there are vineyards in Derbyshire.

43..I've only ever been camping once and didn't like it.

34..I think I might have technically been inside the boundaries of Buxton Country Park, but that's it.

35..I've never been; I'm not interested.

36..This is somewhere I've always wanted to visit, but I can't get there on public transport. I think I might have passed by the area in the car with my support worker when we went to Leek.

37..I've been to Belper, it's quite a nice town - I've not beeen to Strutt's Mill though.

38..I've been to Lyme Park with my support worker when it was free admission; we didn't explore the parkland though because it was raining.

28..Monsal Head is one of my favourite spots, there's a pub, tearooms, toilets, and usually an ice cream van there.

29..I went on the cable car many years ago when I had a free ticket. The car stops half way up and down for you to take photographs.

30..I went on a school trip fifty years ago.

31..I've seen the sign at the Barley Mow in Bonsall.

32..I've included Lathkill Dale in a walk a few times, it's quite rocky in the upper reaches.

33..I've walked down Winnats Pass quite a few times, I don't recall walking up it though and I've definitely not been there at sunrise...or sunset.

24...I've visited Padley Gorge; it's not one of my favourite places in the Peak District - I don't really like woodland areas, there's nothing for me to take photographs of. I've also visited the cafe, it's not quite as eccentric now that the son has taken over.

25..I've never been to Haddon Hall, I quite regularly use the bus stop there though to catch a bus back into Bakewell.

26..There are lovely pubs in many of the villages, since I don't have much money I rarely visit them though - if I do spend some money, I prefer to go to cafes or tearooms.

27..I've walked the entire length of the Monsal Trail, but not all in one go though. I've not cycled the route; I don't really like cycling - I'm tall and when I was a child I had a bike that wasn't big enough for me and when I turned the handlebars they would catch on my knee...meaning that I could only go in a straight line.
