94..I've never flown so I'm not likely to go up in a balloon.

95..I love ice cream and I regularly purchase it when I'm out in the Peak District; I've never got it straight from the farm or dairy though, although I have walked by the one at Hathersage. I always used to look out for Bradwells of Bradwell, but they went bankrupt a few years ago. There's also Our Cow Molly at Bradfield.

96..This is somewhere I've not been walking - it's not easy to get to on public transport.

97..I love visiting stately homes but I've not been to Renishaw Hall yet.

98..I'm not interested in this.

99..I don't like cycling.

91..I'm not interested.

92..I hate horses so I won't be doing this. One or two buses a day go to Matlock Farm Park from Sheffield though.

93..I've not visited any of the Peak District area football grounds.

86..I've been to Kedleston Hall a couple of times when it's been free admission. It's difficult to find the main entrance when driving along the narrow country lanes in the area.

87..This is not really going to the Peak District, is it? The hampers would be too expensive for me anyhow.

88..I've walked along the top of Froggatt Edge many times.

89..I think a went to Dovedale as a teenager when my friend first got his car.

90..I sometimes eat in cafes, pubs, and tearooms in the Peak District. I wasn't previously aware of Hathersage Social Club and what it offers - I shall have to Google it.

81..I've not been to any of the arts festivals.

82..I've walked most of the Derwent Valley Heritage Way at various times, not the final few miles down to the river's mouth though.

83..I've not done this; I have visited Bolsover though and am planning to visit the castle there next month.

84..This is somewhere I've not been, it's right over on the other side of the Peak District in Staffordshire. I'm not really interested though; I've still not visited the Yorkshire Wildlife Park here in Doncaster where I live.

85..I've been to Matlock Bath many times and quite often have fish and chips.

Rotherham To Sheffield Using The Canal Towpath

A level walk today along the canal towpath from Rotherham to Sheffield. Actually not all of the route was taking the towpath though because the waterway isn't really a canal, it's a navigation and so along some stretches there's no separate channel for boats, they just use the river itself. 

It took me nearly three hours to complete the walk.

New York is an area near to the town centre; there's a car dealership nearby called 'Central Park' but I didn't go looking for it.

The next photograph looks like it could have been taken ib the Peak District, it's actually a smallholding located on a sliver of land between the canal and the River Don.

This photograph features some sort of pressure release valve I think that was making a whooshing sound and then popped just as I was passing it.

The towpath was closed about a mile north of the canal basin and so I had to walk to the city centre through some unattractive industrial areas.
