So we wandered down to the Peak District to blow a few cobwebs off from the festive period…but of course at the end of the walk we had to visit a local hostelry! And The Woodroffe Arms was ideally situated bang next door to the car park in Hope. Luckily we had made the walk last just about long enough for the 12noon opening time, and we were greeted with a roaring open fire to our right, as Sir Edmund approached the bar. Stella and Carling Cold were on draught for the lager lovers, Guinness, Greene King and Stones (yes seriously, they still do sell Stones somewhere) for the stout and bitter lovers.

So after a quick check with his pal Gordon, he decided we could head out on the road to Tintwistle, where Gordon indicated there was definitely a pub, or we could head back on the route whence we came and stop at the first pub we happened across. With Tintwistle in the opposite direction to home,
