Meet at Curbar Gap car park – GR:- 261746, at the usual start time of 11am.
The walk is as follows:- Curbar Gap, Froggatt Bridge, River Derwent to Baslow
and back via Baslow Edge. Approx 7 miles over reasonably gentle terrain.
Hope to see you there.
Pete & JaneWalk Report
12 of us started off from Curbar Gap car park in glorious sunny weather (note no pay and display at present)
After walking along Curbar Edge, and spotting 2 buzzards, we descended to Froggatt Bridge past the east
end of Froggatt Edge. Coffee was taken on the banks of a very tranquil River Derwent prior to Calver village.
The riverside path was remarkably dry after the recent rain – nice to have a mud free walk again.
We had lunch on seats at the rear of Baslow church then ascended through the village before taking the lower path, under Baslow Edge, back to the cars.
For some the highlight of the day was the wondrous drinks and cakes down at the cafe’ in Calver after!
Thanks to all who came and for your excellent company. Photos on the Walking WhatsApp Group.
