Travelling Back To Buxton From Shaftesbury With National Express

If  You Have The Time, This Is The Best Way

So leaving from Shaftesbury, you get the 7.20am Red Bus from Opposite the Town Hall. A lovely drive through beautiful country side into the City of Salisbury, gets you in around 8.30.

A short walk to the Coach Stop and then it's the 9am To London Victoria. Another lovely drive through the New Forest onto the M3. They have free wifi from an app called Vuer and plug points so you can keep your devises nicely charged. The beauty of the Coach Company is almost always the drivers are cheerful. Also on board you have a rest room at the back and the seats are nicely spread and comfortable.

On arrival in  London Victoria at 12.30 there is a 2 hour wait, but hey I head for Caffe Nero on Elizabeth Street to enjoy a Mocha, with the lovely staff and more free wifi. There is also the Travelers Tavern, if you want traditional British Food and an Ale.

Just down from the cafe is a Sainsbury's Local to stock up on snacks for the journey as you get ready to catch the 14.30 and will get to Buxton Market Place at 8.30. Later coaches you get to Derby to pick up the Trans Peak Bus route to Buxton. 
Benefits of the journey: You are certain to have a seat, free wifi and plug sockets and get to see some lovely countryside for £30 rather than £130 by train. Life Is Good. Prices Fluctuate booking early can make it cheaper, booking late much more expensive.

TheCharlesLloyd On Abandoned Railway Walk Two In Buxton

Some Photos Of The Journey.

When The Sun Shines In Buxton, it's time to get out there on an adventure.

Here I have put blue and grey sky views for you, I paused in the morning and met the clouds.

So Charles; Tell us about the walk.

Living in Burbage I do this walk often. Mr Storme (The Husky) and I cross the road from The Duke where we meet the hedge of the Church and turn left. We walk along to the road junction and just keep walking. This takes us through a Housing estate down then up a hill. To the right at the bottom of the slope you will see a field that sometimes holds sheep. Keep walking up the hill until the estate ends and farms buildings can be seen. At the top of the hill the pathway splits into two, take the right and you are on the Railway Line.

Oh I Say.

Here you will get breath taking views of Buxton and Burbage, enjoy. Make sure you have boots on, unless the sun has been shinning for many days, there will be big puddles. I always keep Mr Storme on Lead as there are some lovely farm animals up there. Some very hansom cattle and fluffy sheep.

As you are enchanted by the scenery, you will see a farm house and barns coming up infront of you. Very shortly you will come to end of this part of the Railway and turn left down to Bishops Lane. The Farmer has asked you to go no further, it's private land. Have no fear at the bottom of the slope to your right down to the lane, you can turn left and carry on with the walk below of this post.

Have Fun

TheCharlesLloyd On A #MarvellousWalk In #Buxton

A Walk To Solomons Temple

This Is Just One Of The Wonderful Walks Possible In Buxton.

The sun was shining down upon Buxton yesterday so Storme (The Handsome Husky) and I went out for a walk for three hours. 

There are many routes to this Folly, we went up through a cutting on Green Lane which takes you along some walled fields onto the pathway above Pooles Cavern.

On the trail up to Solomon's Temple there are wood carvings, sculptors and plaques with information on the habitat and some History of the area. Storme was keen to get to the Temple so we did not dwell too long on those, but each time we go up there I try to stop and read up or admire. 

There are lots of different routes to take up to Solomon, some of which take you on different walks to other places. Will share them with you over the coming months.

As you get to the top of the trail, there is a seat for you to rest before climbing over the Stile into the vast field that holds the Temple at the peak. Again many routes to the building, so this walk is never dull. 

As the schools are on Holiday this week, I could not take as many photos as I would like, as there were many families up there enjoy this beautiful area. So above a taster of the attraction, Storme and I will be Back later in the month with another route up there.

If You Like To Walk Buxton, Derbyshire Is The Place To Be

Here We Have A View Of A Large Car Park ready for your car.

Below the trees is Go Ape for the teenagers, to the right Pooles Carvern for family fun and a bite to eat. Hidden behind those trees are many routes up to Solomon's Temple, a folly with a panoramic view of Buxton and the stunning Derbyshire.

Up there often with Storme the faithful Husky enjoying the many paths up to the Temple. Have not been fitter in my life. Will be posting photos on Twitter later, join us for a walk.

Here Is Some Fun From My 49th Birthday

While On Tour I Made These Vines In My Spare Time.

This was just before I visited Buxton for the first time and fell in Love. Now the town is my home, the great thing about Buxton is the creative s that dwell here and the energy the people put into the arts. We have the Buxton Opera House that boast a program for all, as does the cinema at the arts centre attached to the opera house.

Then you have the many friendly bars and restaurants. At 50 I had been at a loss as what to do with the rest of my life, well Buxton has given me the spark to venture into new pastures. Have a lounge show I do around the town, Directing Moon Quest for the Fringe Festival here and in Manchester, with many new projects in the pipe line. Life begins at 50. Looking forward to broadcasting Adventures to you all again via the Radio.

What Are You Up To Now TheCharlesLloyd?

A Mighty Fine Question!
Been busy settling into this wonderful town. The people are so welcoming and have found some lovely places to socialise; The Duke, 53 Degrees North and The Old Sun Inn are my favourite Bars. Dog Friendly, Marvellous Staff and Great Food.
Thanks to Gilberts, I have started to perform again, my first show was at this venue and a big thank you to them for having me.
My next theatrical adventure is Moon Quest for the Buxton and Manchester Fringe Festivals this summer.
