|  We're
back at Ladybower, at Fairholmes Visitor centre, where
I draw this view to show moorland, woodland, farm and lakeside.
It's a bit breezy for drawing so we take the opportunity to explore one
of the trails climbing through conifer plantations to upland pasture and
the moorland edge returning back down along winding forest trails to Derwent
dam head. There's somewhere I'll come back and draw.
 Holmfirth
We come back via the Snake Pass again but, as we explored Glossop last
time we were out this way, we decide to call in Holmfirth
(right) to find something to eat.
But we've chosen the wrong time. It's around 5 pm and the cafés
have closed but the restaurants haven't yet opened. In the late afternoon
sun the town looks as mellow as it does in long-running comedy series
The Last of the Summer Wine.
