We head downwards to reach another road where we turn right to follow the road until we reach Snape Rake Lane and take a bridleway on our right which leads to Boggy Wood. We pass right through the wood and, on reaching the road, we head for what used to be Bleasdale Post Office and Tea Rooms. These are now closed but we shall be having lunch around this area. After lunch we carry on past this building, climb some steps, and follow field paths until we arrive at Wickins Barn. Here we turn right and, after a short road walk, we take a footpath on our left to Sagar’s Farm where further footpaths bring us to the outer ring road. We continue through the woods and eventually arrive back at the Visitor Centre. Annual subscriptions became due on 28 February!!! Club Meal An enjoyable time was had by all those members who attended the Annual Club Meal held at the Derby Arms. Our thanks go to Tony and Colin for organising the meal and the entertainment. Please note – Walk details must be in 2 (TWO) weeks before each coach excursion Today’s Walks Today’s starting points: 1. A: Ashopton 2. B+, B, C: Hathersage Hagg Side & Derwent Edge with Dave Colbert Grade. A Distance 11 miles / 18km Climbing 2625 ft / 800m The Upper Derwent Valley is one of the finest in the Dark Peak, though the argument still rages as to whether the Ladybower and Derwent reservoirs add or detract from its sense of wildness. This walk effectively circles the long arm of Ladybower Reservoir, crossing the valley below the dam holding back millions of gallons of water in Derwent Reservoir. We start from the settlement of Ashopton, climbing Crook Hill before heading along the broad ridge of Hagg Side to Lockerbrook Coppice. Following a wooded descent to the National Park Visitor Centre we cross the valley below the aforementioned dam and pick up a track heading north alongside Derwent Reservoir which takes us almost to the Howden Dam. Here we face a lengthy but gradual climb onto Derwent Edge by way of Lost Lad to Back Tor. Rock scrambling is required to reach the trig point! Derwent Edge is then traversed southwards back to Ashopton past a series of weird rock sculptures, of which the finest is without doubt the famous Salt Cellar, but not forgetting the Cakes of Bread, the Wheel Stones and the Hurkling Stones. If clear, the views across to Kinder and Bleaklow from the Edge are exquisite. Eyam Moor with Barry Mather . Grade B+ Distance 10 miles / 16km Climbing 1400ft / 427m Leaving Hathersage we cross the River Derwent at Leadmill and then begin our ascent of Eyam Moor. From here we drop down to the plague village of Eyam. Here in 1665 the bubonic plage (Black Death) arrived in cloth from London carried by fleas. The villagers kept themselves in quarantine until the plague ended in November 1666 having killed 260 out of the 350 villagers. As you pass through the village watch out for rats as it is on their blood that the fleas feed. Leaving the village we pass a small enclosure named the Riley Graves, victims of the plague. Making our way to the River Derwent we follow it back to Hathersage. Derwent Valley with Dorothy Shackleton Grade B Distance 8 miles /12.9km Climbing 1100ft / 335m From the car park we begin by walking up Baulk Lane and going uphill northwards to just short of Cowclose Farm. We bear left here to pass Brookfield Manor and walk along the drive of North Lees Hall. Turning left here we follow a path to Greens House, on to Gatehouse and finally to Hurstclough Lane. From here we descend to Bamford Road and, crossing the River Derwent, follow the Derwent Valley Heritage Trail. We leave this path at Kettle House and shortly afterwards turn north to Mitchell Field where we turn left to Dale Bottom and Toothill Farm. A lane leads us to the church and back to Hathersage. The grave of “Little John”, “Robin Hood’s” lieutenant is in the churchyard. Hathersage Hull abaloo with Derek Lowe Grade C Distance 7 miles / 11.2km Climbing 500ft / 152m We begin our walk after breakfast heading for the railway which we cross to reach Nether Hall and on to Leadmill Bridge. We now follow the River Derwent, after which we head for Bamford Mills, eventually reaching Thornhill where we shall have lunch. We now go down Jane Lane and cross the golf course until we reach Coggers Lane. Then it’s back to Hathersage in good time for a look around and refreshments. I have booked the weather! Have a very nice day. Please help to keep the coaches clean by removing muddy boots. Please check that you have all your belongings and take newspapers etc. away with you. Thank you. .

  • The Edale Circular Walk a Cloudy Day in the Peak District Is Better Than a Sunny Day in the Office
    The Edale circular walk A cloudy day in the Peak District is better than a sunny day in the office. The Edale circular walk is a great walk and takes you via: Edale, the start of the Pennine Way, Upperbooth, Jacob’s ladder, Browne Knoll trig point, Rushop edge, Mam Tor, Hollins Cross and then back to Edale. Plan your day for this Edale Circular hike: Start/Parking: I always start at Edale car park. Grid ref 125854 (OS Explorer SL1). Enter S33 7ZA into your Sat Nav. As you reach Hope you should turn onto Edale road, after a few miles you’ll find the car park on the right just before you turn right into Edale village. The last time I visited (Nov 2013) the parking costs were £3.00 for 2 – 4 hours and £5 for over 4 hours - don't forget your £1 coins. Walk summary: I started the walk at 9.30am and got back to the car park at 2pm (4 ½ hours). I stopped a couple of times for a cuppa and a little lunch at Hollins Cross. The walk starts at 231m and the highest point is around 569m. There are a number of stys, rough tracks, steep hill climbs and steep descents - you have to be fit to attempt this walk. Guided walks: We have guides available for this edale circular walk to escort you on your walk. Our guides are very friendly, experienced hill walkers. They are also highly qualified first aiders. Obviously there is a charge for their time; the more there are of you the cheaper it will be.

  • Hagg Side and Crook Hill Estimated Time: 2:30 Hours Ordnance Survey 1:50,000 Map Sheet(S): 110
    Difficulty level: 2 (1 to 5 scale - 1 is easy) Distance: 9.00 km Ascent: 300m Hagg Side and Crook Hill Estimated time: 2:30 hours Ordnance Survey 1:50,000 map sheet(s): 110 This is a fairly short walk which follows a ridge between two arms of Ladybower Reservoir. It offers spectacular views of Ladybower and Derwent Edge, and also excellent views of Lose Hill and Win Hill. It starts and finishes at Fairholmes, the visitor centre at the north end of Ladybower. There is ample parking here and a bus service from Sheffield. You could combine this walk with our Derwent Edge walk to make a really long day (about 6 hours) and a complete circuit of the upper arm of Ladybower reservoir. Details at the end of this description. Ladybower from Lockerbrook Walk out of Fairholmes along the road back towards Ashopton and a few metres to the south a path branches off into the woods. Take this path, which follows a stream initially and then strikes off to the right, crossing by a small bridge the conduit which brings water from the Ashop river and climbing steadily up through the forest. Half-way up it meets a forest road - follow this round a large bend and then take the path which turns off left back into the forest. Towards the top the path has been re-routed to avoid the Lockerbrook farmhouse and it makes a sharp detour right before crossing a field and emerging on the old bridle path above Lockerbrook. Turn left and head down to the former farm, which now belongs to the Woodcraft Folk.

The clusters of sites in the Central Pennine uplands also show the highest density of known upland Mesolithic sites in the world (Preston forthcoming). • There is considerable potential for internationally significant sites to be recovered.

  • Cycling in the Peak District
    CYCLING IN THE PEAK DISTRICT About the Author Chiz Dakin’s cycle touring adventures almost happened by accident, when after a local photography trip by bike she realised that she’d done 50 miles in a single day with a reasonably heavy load. This led to the disconnected logic that if she could do that once, she was now ready to tackle multi-day cycle touring, and two weeks later set out on the Land’s End to John o’ Groats route. Since then she’s done several other multi-day trips including a pio- neering Welsh coast cycle route (600 miles and 16km of ascent) but still maintains that you don’t need to be seriously fit or fast to enjoy long multi- day routes. (She certainly makes no claim to being either!) She has pre- viously won an Outdoor Writers and Photographers Guild award for her photography.

  • The Whitworth and Wardle Moorland
    The Whitworth and Wardle Moorland A Gazeteer Of Sites Rob Bond 1 INTRODUCTION Some time ago I had the pleasure of sketching (with words) those curious features that occur upon the moorland between the historic villages of Whitworth and Wardle. This was my childhood playground. I lived in Syke, on the very edge of the moors and every evening and holiday would be spent on the rocks of Brow Edge and Rushy Hill, the brooks of Nab, the high table-top of Brown Wardle, the delights of Watergrove valley or as a special treat, a day long hike to the dark mysterious waterfalls of Healey Dell. Years later I moved to Whitworth and whilst the Eastern Moorland was always my favourite, I began to explore the Western Hills. The vacant quarries and bleak ruins spoke a different language to the pastoral plains of the east yet they fascinated too. Thus it has come to pass that now I must complete my chronicle and catalogue as many features of interest of the hills and valleys that surround the village of Whitworth: from Stoney Heys and Healey in the south, to Cowm and Knowsley in the north, from Bagden in the west to Watergrove and Crook Moor in the east. ****** This book is published as a digital download. Once saved to your computer you may freely print off sections as you need them for exploration and guided walks etc. Please use the page numbers as reference for printing. If you need help with this, please ask an available child. You can also save this book to your mobile phone providing it has document reader software installed.
