Manchester Airport - Day 2

25 OCT - We're without the moto as it was turned over to the freight forwarder yesterday, so we're traveling by bus. They have a great system of public transport here in the U.K.For example both the bus and train stations are right at the airport terminal.

Took the bus back up to the 'Peak District' to hike a bit. Stopped in Buxton to change to a bus that would take us to Bakewell, so had a coffee while waiting. No Starbuck's in these villages.

The bus drivers are anazing on these narrow two-lane highways and even narrower village streets. Clearance in some places is about six inches on each side of the bus and they hardley slow down.

Had a nice walk in the hills above Bakewell. Only makes us more anxious to get to the Lake District next May for another Coast-to-Coast  (C2C) Trek.
