…when I set out. However, about 45 minutes into the walk, it started, and the showers have been more-or-less joined up since then, quite heavy at times. Still the rain is handy in many ways. There’s nearly half a megawatt of hydroelectric power in Longdendale, and a similar amount elsewhere in the Peak District catchment. And according to this (now a few years old) report<\/a>, there’s scope to more than double the Peak District’s contribution.

with curiosity and joy,
and keeping hold of our trust in you.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
