    Dark Peak walk
    Saturday 7 September 2024
    This walk repeats a route I did for the club in 2021 and is is at the request of several newer members of the club. We will be visiting some of the less obvious air crash sites in the peak each of which has an interesting, and not always sad story which I would be happy to tell.
    Meet at Parking area on minor road west of Barber Booth at GR 108 847 on Dark Peak 1;25000 map at 8 30 am and aim to finish about 4 00pm. There is alternative parking below viaduct 200 metres to west. Distance approximately 10 miles taking in Kinder Low and Brown knoll visiting 4 crash sites, 2 bombers, 1 training aircraft and 1 American fighter plane
    Apologies for early start this is to give us a chance to get cars parked. Car sharing would help where possible
    Further details Please phone me on 01709 377632 or 07811986415
