Ogston is a village close by to a reservoir and sewage plant in Derbyshire. It can be quite smelly but nothing like as stinky as Stoke Bardolph which is quite bad. In the past I would shut my windows when passing through the area since it smelt worse than 10,000 cows all breaking wind simultaneously. [...]

Today the weather was good enough to go for a little walk out in Ilkeston in Derbyshire. It was cold out and was wrapped up in a scarf, hat and gloves as well as the usual walking gear. I sweat far less now I’m thinner and fitter than I would had done with this amount [...]

We started out just after 2 p.m. into Derbyshire. On coming to the village of the strangely named “Whatstandwell”, we took a sharp right turn off the main road and parked near to the Derwent hotel in a small lay-by. There were several cars already present parked in a rather awkward position making it difficult [...]
Shipley Gate and Eastwood Locke, Derbyshire

Yesterday we went on our weekly walk into Derbyshire, actually little place called Shipley gate that is located just the other side of Eastwood. It is a walk I’ve been on many times before, though it’s not some way you can get bored of because he has everything from the mud, waterways, babbling Brooks, vandalised [...]

I drove to an interview today at Codnor in Derbyshire. I tried something different of holding the steering wheel towards the bottom when I can and resting my arms more against my body. This worked as my arms didn’t hurt half as much when I got home. I’m not sure you are suppose to drive [...]

Today I went for a meeting at a local firm out in Derbyshire which is run by Peter, a real nice bloke that commutes all the way for Macclesfield to his place. He has my respect commuting from their everyday, its quite a daily journey on roads that twist and turn. I used to do [...]

Today’s little march was down vicar’s water near Clipstone in Nottingham. Again, this is an old coal pit site which were re-developed into a number of lakes for fishing and a nature reserve. Its not one of my favourite places as some of the tracks are a death trap thanks largely to illegal motor-bikers churning [...]
