Distance: 7.31km (4.54 Miles)
Ascent: 357m (1171ft)
Duration: 2 Hours 25 Minutes

Having arrived in the Peak District for a few days of walking I had to make the trip over to the edge of the White Peak to head up Parkhouse Hill and Chrome Hill. They are two of the most shapely peaks in the area and ones I have wanted to do for many years!
