I caught the TransPeak bus from Bakewell and travelled to Blackwell Turn and then walked down into Chee Dale.
I arrived at Blackwell Mill Cottages and headed down the dale, going eastwards.
The first set of stepping stones was high and dry, the second set, less so.
I briefly entered Millers Dale and then climbed up through the woods to Priestcliffe. It was a steep and strenuous climb, several hundred steps cut into the hillside. It's certainly something I don't remember undertaking before.
I took a track going to the north of High Dale and continued heading eastwards to Brushfield.
I finished the walk by dropping down to the bus stop at White Lodge; I had to rush but arrived with a minute to spare...the bus was twenty minutes late though. At Bakewell two consecutive buses going to Sheffield were cancelled and so I had to wait for over an hour.
