A group of six braved the usual traffic chaos in Youlgreave, and potential rain showers forecast for later during the walk. A gentle descent led into a quiet section of Bradford Dale before climbing up towards Elton. The bogs were smelly as ever although not quite so extensive as expected. Apart from a brief but heavy shower we had good weather and views, proceeding at a good pace to a finish in the slightly busier part of Bradford Dale. Despondency crept in when we realised that the YHA cafe had closed but an observant member spotted a sign to the bakery where excellent cakes were enjoyed.
