River Dove Cap - is it possible to give a little more detail on this? eg Is it for the river below Ashbourne? Linuxlad 08:23, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I'm gunna be getting some images of the river soon to improve the article. - Erebus555 13:18, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

I always think that the wooded stretch north of the stepping stones is a finer view than that to the south - any hope?? Bob aka Linuxlad 20:06, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] East Midlands

Is anything gained by saying the river is 'in the East Midlands' For one thing it isn't (half the river is in Staffs) - for another the concept is hardly relevant that far over and up in the Peac (sic) District. Bob aka Linuxlad 20:31, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

I just find it odd that it's half in Derbs and half in Staffs, and the title is River Dove, Derbyshire. Could change it back to Midlands. AxG ۝۝۝҈ talkguests 20:35, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
