8 members and 3 prospective members + 2 dogs completed 10.5 miles. The walk started at Fairholmes Car Park, where surprisingly there was ample parking. Crunching beech leaves along the upper Derwent path , we climbed via Abbey tip plantation, Howden moor to Lost Lad, where we had visibility and views despite the overarching cloud. We continued along Derwent Edge and enjoyed all the sculpted gritstone Tors en route , before descending towards grindle Clough and eventually back on the track running along the reservoir. Although the leaves were falling from the trees , the autumn colours were still vibrant in parts, so a lovely finish to the walk. Thanks to everyone for their company. Fiona
