Bakewell

I don't think our legs would hack that in the 100k, but yeah, it'd be great to learn how to do that.

And I guess the second, second bit of trail news is that next Wednesday evening, I am heading over to Summer Sports in Bakewell, I think it is, in the Peak District.

To have an evening, Hoka are bringing down some shoes.

We're doing an easy run.

I only got back last night from...

Oh, I was in Bakewell.

I got back last night from Bakewell.

We finished now on shift the thrift series two.

We have finished going around to all our lovely little towns all around the UK and we finished off in Bakewell.

I dressed myself like a Bakewell tart or as people in the know and the locals say a Bakewell pudding.

Oh,

is it really? It's a Bakewell pudding.

We got to explore the Peak District, which is between London and Sheffield, and it's full of just sheep pastures and old villages.

And we found ourselves in Bakewell.

Anyone been to Bakewell? Sally, Rich, I knew you both would raise your hands.

The home of the original pudding, apparently.

That's why it's called Bakewell.

But we ended up at a church there.

You can put up the picture of the church.

But they said, Lorne and Kelly, before we leave to pursue our dream that we believe God has for us, Are there any dreams that you have that we could help you fulfill before we go? And Pastor Lorne is born and raised in Nipowin, Saskatchewan.

Market towns in Derbyshire.

Derby, Orsworth, Bakewell, Ashburn in the Peak, Chesterfield in the Peak, Mansfield.

Castles in Derbyshire.

Duffield had a castle.

To Amber Bridge, two miles.

To Critch Chase, a wood, fast by where it runneth into Derwent.

Wye River, good for trouts, riseth in Derbyshire near St. Anne of Buxton's Well, so to Bakewell, a market town, to Haddon, and thereabout Wye cometh into Derwent.

Egglesburn riseth in a rock in the parish of Orworth, thence to Idas of three miles, to Dove Fell Church of three miles, a little beyond Dove Fell Church, at a place Egglesburn mouth goeth into Derwent.

Been camping? Is it...

Where'd you go? We went to Bakewell.

Peak District.

Near Manchester.

How mad is that? So, we've done the research.

No, no, no, no.

I need to digest that you were in Bakewell.

Right.

So, um, I'm a member of the, um, Peak Methodist Circuit.

Um, and, um- We, 18 months ago, a little, little bit longer, we moved, uh, to Bakewell, uh, and that's the church that we're now worshiping in.

Um, the project that I've been involved with the whole time, that was um, my whole period of being on the circuit leadership team, um, was the Peak Wesley Way, which is our pilgrimage route that runs through some of our chapels, uh, and our, our geography, our area.

And pilgrimage is a theme for us at college this semester, um, talking journeys, talking pilgrimage and prayer.

rather cute in a clearing in the woods on Stanton Moor.

It's not too far from Bakewell or Matlock, but you have to park in a pretty remote area to get there.

And not far away is the Kingstone, who's supposedly the fiddler who was playing them the music.

So it's quite a walk to get there.

Uh, took us a little bit longer than we planned.

We stayed in this gorgeous, uh, pub Airbnb, pub B&B, uh, not Airbnb, um, in, uh, Bakewell, which is the town nearby, and we dropped off our gear.

Is it like The Holiday? Like the pub.

Uh, a little bit like The Holiday, actually.

So we've got some really cool places like in the UK.

So you could dive in the Home Bank mine, which is in Bakewell, which is very far from me here.

That's a great place to do entry-level training.

You could go to Sweden and dive in Tuna Husberg mine, which is an incredible mine.
