Postscripts from The Peak District (16) - Consall Forge

See Postscripts 1 & 11!

Glorious Sunday morning & loads to do.... but still enough time to head over the fields & down through the woods to 'The Black Lion'!

 
 
Lots of other people seem to have had the same idea & were arriving in a variety of different ways... trains & boats but, thankfully, no 'planes!
 
 
 
 
Beer of the Day : 'Chatsworth Gold', a good pale golden ale made from honey, but you wouldn't guess
4.6% & you wouldn't guess that either!
 
 
 
Enjoyed the beer & the walk but the real reason for the excursion was to visit 'the cheese boat' which moors here at 'The Black Lion' a couple of times a year
 
 
 
 
 
The Borders Cheese Carrying Company cruises the cuts selling a fine selection of cheeses & pickles.... we just had to stock-up!
 
Song of the Day : 'Hard Cheese of Old England' - I have a version by Martin Carthy but I don't think he mentions any of the cheeses we bought today!
