A drive round the Peaks

I've only done 25 miles in the Frontera since getting it, including collecting it. So as I'm due to do several hundred miles next weekend getting to, and driving, the Strata Florida I thought I better have a bit of a drive out.
We've had a 60 miles trip into the Peaks, I chose roads that would have long climbs and descents to check for any over heating or brake issues. It's not getting hot and gets up the hills fine. The brakes work, but they're a bit squeeky, so I'm hoping to get time this week to strip them down and clean them all up a bit.

We didn't do any lanes, but here's few pics of where we went.

First off a little ford just out of Ashbourne.

Then another one, which I'd not been to before, but someone had forgotten to put the water in.

Then Butterton, which was also short on water.
Image

Then upto a really odd tunnel in the middle of nowhere. I'm sure it must of been built for a reason, but I've no idea what.

Even the rivers are dry.

Then finally Tissington.
