| 388 Whaley Moor | ||
"Bitter, freezing weather - stay inside" they kept saying on television, but with a brilliant blue sky we climbed instead to Whaley Moor in search of the Dipping Stone. Now you'd expect to find such a place by a stream, so it was a little while before we found our objective. Set high on the moor the stone looks like one at Eyam where money was left during the Black Death. And that's just what this is, for old books give it another name - the Plague Stone.
