Houndkirk Moor
It has to been around six years since I last drove these lanes, when I was on my way home from visiting Milner Off-Road in Matlock, Derbyshire in the very capable Mitsubishi L200 SVP. This time the new Hilux was my, and Muddy Madam's ride for the day. We were on our way back from Sheffield after collecting a couple of tickets to watch Queen and Adam Lambert for Muddy Madam’s birthday. From Sheffield we headed towards Ringinglow, more specifically the lane that goes over Houndkirk Moor, the aptly named Houndkirk Road, or SK2780-04 if you’re a GLASS member and use Trailwise 2. After a few minutes our own hound, Lilly, became restless in the back of the car, and began getting whingy. She tolerates being in the car whilst on the move at speed, and eventually settles down, but drive slowly, for example when green laning and it’s a different story, so Muddy Madam decided it would be easier to walk with her down the road, thus giving me the opportunity to stop and take photos in peace.
