Beeley Cake Run

After a week of non-stop April showers, we too weren’t hopeful for the weather for this month’s edition of the cake run. However, Saturday morning dawned bright and sunny, leading to some speculation that Nicky has made a deal with the devil to guarantee perfect conditions on all her cake runs.

We did have plenty of mud to content with, but this didn’t stop us as we climbed up and out of Beeley towards the moor and Chatsworth’s lakes. No one fancied a dip this month, so we continued on along some slightly private (but well maintained) footpaths.

We crossed the moor, and plenty of puddles, eventually ending up at Hob Hurst’s House.

After this, we slipped and slid our way through the woods, stopping to take in the waterfalls and scale the many fallen trees in the path.

From there, it was an easy run back to Beeley and straight into the tearooms, where we were rewarded with cake and a variety of other delights.

Thanks as usual to Nicky (and Andy) for route planning and organisation. Next month we’ll be running on Saturday 13th May at Monyash. Further dates and locations are below.
