The Goyt Packhorse Bridge and a Beautiful Waterfall.

Another 06:00am start this week and the weather looked OK so we set off up towards Buxton and Errwood reservoir. We made our way along the single one way track alongside the reservoir until we got to a parking spot just beside the packhorse bridge over the river Goyt.
We had a wander around the bridge and then it started to rain, we went back towards the car where i spotted a lovely looking waterfall. While going up to the waterfall Ike had a slip on a muddy patch and turned his ankle which slowed him down a bit. The waterfall is only a couple of hundred yards away but the best viewpoint was from the other side of a stream flowing into the Goyt. We got a few pics then the rain came down heavier and we decided to call it a day and headed off for home.

Today's walk was a bit of a washout but a great place to visit, we'll be back again when the weather is kinder and a bit more greenery on the trees. Not much in the way of pics this week only the bridge and the waterfall.
Cheers.
