Day 11 Saturday October 29th Milton Keynes to Bakewell

Today we moved from Milton Keynes up to Bakewell in Derbyshire.  It was overcast and not the best for driving and we were soon underway.  We stopped at several service stations along the route as we had a suspect car problem but thankfully we found no issues which was a relief.  At one stage we had a snack to keep us going and arrived at Bakewell at lunch time.

We could not check in until 3pm so 
the weir and waterbirds
went into town for a light lunch and to explore a bit.  We parked, had a bite and went into the town.  We crossed over the river Wye including the bridge with thousands of locks attached.  There were plenty of water birds on the river.


We sorted out somewhere to eat in the evening and went to our b&b to check in.  It is Gardener's Cottage part of the Haddon Hall estate and is in a picturesque position and came with good reviews.  We settled in and soon it was time to go out for the meal   It is a ten minute walk from the town and as it had been raining we went by car.  The meal proved to be a pizza each and we could not eat it all and were able to take some away.  We went back to the b&b and totally unpacked in the spacious accommodation.
