I'm kind of obsessed with it, but I think it's just because I love the colour 😂

In that case I'd also recommend Peak Feast and the yha cafe, both in Youlgrave (not far from the 9 ladies and Robin Hood's stride)

Yes definitely recommend instead - you can park at Longshaw as it has a cracking National Trust cafe, and it loops into the Carl Wark / Higger Tor walk nicely. Only recommendation is to cross the stream before Carl Wark at the little bridge, other routes tend to lead you through a bog!

If you're taking in the 9 ladies, then you should definitely stop off at nearby Robin Hood's Stride where there is a medieval hermit's cave and another stone circle (9 stones close). Ooh and the burial place of antiquarian Thomas Bateman is just down the road too!

I find it vaguely useful to see what people are up to, but honestly no more than any other social media platform 😂

Yes, I was just about to recommend the same! Genuinely the only "leak proof" cup / container I have owned that actually is.

It is RIDICULOUS and honestly that's all I need out of a TV series at this point 😂

One of the least serious TV series I have watched in a while. Someone described it as the evil gay maths show and honestly. I promise you don't need to know maths (to be fair, it's probably infinitely better if you don't).
