Travels with Arthur a van trip through the Peak District and some of the paintings that followed
Last October we took an old man of a van Called arthur to explore the PEAK DISTRICT
The drive up from Bristol was dowsed in proper autumn drizzle.
And our first walk near Castleton started grey and misty.
It was a while before the colours came out.
But as we reached the top of the ridge, the mist cleared and the valley was filled with dramatic light
From that point on, the light was fantastic
After some sustenance from a local public house, we drove on to Derwent Reservoir.
Frisbee on the beach
We found a great tucked-away spot to pitch up for the night
Slacklining by night
And it looked even better in the morning
On the walk that day, we got fairly lost and definitely underestimated a hill, but did meet some grouse and picked up some more inspiration for paintings
