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.

18..I regularly visit  Eyam, it's much easier to get there on the bus at the moment to what it used to be. I've never been inside the museum, it's usually closed when I get there quite early in the morning. It really annoys me when people mispronounce the name as 'EE-YAM.'

19..I've been to Bolsover Castle once and am hoping to visit again in March when it will be free admission as part of the National Lottery Heritage Open Week [with a lottery card or scratchcard.]

20..I think I did this as a teenager when I visited Dovedale with a few friends.

21..I love Ashford-in-the Water. It's a short walk from Bakewell, or just get the bus. It's a good base for starting or finishing walks. The Sheepwash Bridge is very picturesque and features in jigsaw puzzles a lot.

22..Access to Stanage Edge is either from Hathersage or Moscar Moor, both easily reachable by bus. I've been there many times but don't prat about up there.

23..I've never been there, I'm not interested.

15.. I've never been. Up until a couple of years ago there used to be a conveniently-timed bus that ran out to Monyash from Bakewell and I would be able to reach Arbor Low from there. I would need to walk all the way back to Bakewell though. I've seen videos of Arbor Low and it doesn't seem to be particularly attractive or interesting and there might be access problems as well.

16..I last visited Treak Cliff Cavern about fifteen years ago with a group of friends. The tour underground was interesting.

17..I've done this walk in its entirety maybe half a dozen times, each time from west to east.

10..I've visited the dams in the Upper Derwent Valley many times. My most recent walk in the Peak District featured the Ladybower Reservoir, the furthest south, and newest of the three. I've never been there when there's been a fly-by of the bombers though.

11..I've only been to Hartington once...and the village pond was covered in algae and stank awful. It's somewhere I can't reach on public transport and so travelled there in the car with a couple of friends from Leeds.

12...I've visited Derby a few times, but I much prefer its neighbour, Nottingham.

13...I'm a regular visitor to Buxton, either on my own or in the car with my support worker. I've not been inside any of the historic buildings though.

14..I've not climbed up the spire at Chesterfield although I quite often visit the town, most recently to Christmas Market in December.

7...I've already mentioned Bakewell Puddings and Tarts.

8...I've visited Cromford Mill a few times but have never been inside the main building...only the tea rooms and the toilets.

9...I've only walked the first few miles, starting at Edale. I don't like camping so this doesn't appeal to me at all.
