There IS a bus in this photo! Hulley’s of Baslow P881 PWW below Monsal Head - 27 Mar 2009

Friday 27 March 2009 (0945) – Looking towards Cressbrook from Monsal Head. Look for the bus! It was Hulley’s of Baslow 2 (P881 PWW) which can be seen on the valley floor prior to making the ascent up to where I was taking the photograph. It was working the 0930 hrs Tideswell to Bakewell service 173. Only two 173 buses per day travelled this road in each direction, the others (five of them) travelled via the B6465 and Wardlow. The bus was a Plaxton Pointer bodied Dennis Dart new to Clarksons of South Elmsall in February 1997. The next photograph shows the bus arriving at the top of the climb.
