Thursday Walk 19th September

Walk Report
After some delay, due to yours truly trying to
get my head round the telephone
parking at Grindleford station, 9 of us
set off up Padley Gorge under overcast
skies. After crossing the road at Burbage
Bridge we had our coffee break up at Carl
Mark fort. With the weather now improving
we got some excellent views from the top
of Higger Tor. Our decent to Hathersage Church
took us past the rebuilt house underneath
Callow Bank that is still not finished despite
the work being ongoing for at least 4 years.
We had lunch in the graveyard of the Church
with adequate bench seating for all.
The return journey took us through Hathersage
and then along the River Derwent before the
uphill section to the track past the old church
and Abbey ruins. We then had ‘afternoon tea’
at the station cafe where chips and cake was
consumed. Thanks to all who came and for
your enjoyable company.
