Peak District is first National Park to go live on Google Street View
People can now take a tour of the Peak District National Park from the comfort of their own home.
In true pioneering spirit, the Peak District today (Thursday) became the first national park to be virtually accessible, opening its diverse landscapes to the digital world of Google Street View. People will be able to click and see the traffic-free trails at home, at work or even on the move.
Jim Dixon, chief executive of the Peak District National Park, said: “It is our ambition that, by being on Google Street View, more people will enjoy the wonders of this protected and special landscape. Once people see it, I am sure they will be inspired to come and stay for a few days to explore first-hand what they have experienced online.
“The national park covers an area of 555 square miles so it was impractical to film every inch for people to view. Instead we have selected some of the highlights. These are the trail areas where we offer ranger-led walks, family activities and cycle hire and bike maintenance, so there are lots of ways for people to enjoy and experience what the national park has to offer.”
The Tissington, Monsal and High Peak trails are now all available online. The filming took place over the summer and was carried out by national park volunteers using the Google Trekker camera. The equipment is designed to capture 360 degree imagery in public locations. It was taken to locations the Google Street View car can’t reach.
Emily Clarke from Google said: “We’re excited that the Peak District will be using the Street View Trekker so more of us can experience its famous trails and views from wherever we are.”
The links to the locations are:

As of 11pm Wednesday 5th November, our recent poll, here at parwich.org, indicates that some 19% of respondents use the Vodafone mobile network and of these 90% have no mobile reception at all. Also it would appear that Vodafone reception is poorer than other networks, though only three individuals (9%) reported an adequate signal. (NB. If you do have a good signal, do share which network you use.)
A majority of respondents (91%) are in favour of local participation in the Vodafone Rural Sure Signal programme. (Click here for information on the scheme.) To move this forward, it needs volunteers to identify a site for the required unit and to liaise with Vodafone and with the Parish Council(s). The Blog Team would be happy to support anyone taking this on.
Roy M has asked us to share that the funeral for Brian will take place at Barton Church (which is just past Sockbridge on the Penrith to Pooley Bridge road) on Friday 7th November at 11.00 am.
Our sympathies are with Barbara and the family. Brian made a huge contribution to the village over the years and will be very much missed.

We recorded a surprising 17.8 degrees c on Friday which is a temperature we probably won’t see again until next spring now. The week ahead looks cooler with more seasonal temperatures. There is the prospect of overnight frost later in the week, but not too much rain in the forecast.
Martin C suggested we run a post in response to a recent article in the Ashbourne News Telegraph, where our MP, Patrick McLoughlin, urged villages to put themselves forward for the Vodafone ‘Rural Open Sure Signal’ programme. Click here for more information on this Vodafone scheme.
This scheme uses a local booster using broadband, which “… creates 3G signal. It’s also ‘open’, so as long as you’re within range and have a 3G device, you’ll automatically connect to it. This means you’ll be able to make clear calls and get online in rural locations where you couldn’t before“.
The closing date is soon, so please respond promptly to the following questions, in order to evaluate whether or not there is any local interest:
Also, out of general interest for non-Vodafone users:
Feel free to add any relevant comments below, especially, if you have a good signal, let us know which network you use.
