We had travelled this path nearly 17 years earlier in August 1989, for a picture see here... www.ipernity.com/doc/2254674/49364234/in/album/1251472

Thorpe Cloud (left) The limestone that forms the White Peak was formed about 325 million years ago when it was placed a few degrees south of the Equator and a tropical lagoon. Reefs were mostly formed from corals and they became pure white limestone. Reefs were mostly found in a fringe or barrier around the lagoon. A good example of a barrier reef is the hill behind Castleton on which Peveril Castle was built. There is reef limestone in Middleton Dale and in the Dove Valley, where Thorpe Cloud and Parkhouse Hill stand as isolated reefs

The footpath follows the wall from just above Mildale to the Reservoir.

A lovely place to sit for lunch looking down on along Dovedale and to Mildale, and the bridge over the Dove to the right. We had had lunch here on a previous occasion almost 17 years earlier in August 1989. At the top of the bank we took the left footpath and on to meet the Tissington Trail. This time we would bear right and follow the dry stone wall up to the Reservoir. www.ipernity.com/doc/2254674/49364216/in/album/1251472
