Edale to Sheffield Walk Saturday 1 October

[Alison Milne]

PLEASE RESPOND ASAP.
Longer walk challenge. Approx 18-20 miles, starting at Dore railway station and finishing there. Parking is free.
Early train to Edale at 0720. Adult single £7.10. Buy own ticket in advance. Next train is double the price??

Route -Edale – Hollins Cross -Losehill – Win Hill, -Bamford – Hathersage – Dennis Knoll – Stanage Edge – Rud Hill – Ringinglow – Limb Valley – Ecclesall Woods – Dore Station.
Plenty of options to bail out by bus or train along the way. Bring supplies but some opportunities to buy along the way.
If forecast is foul then I will offer a shorter day walk and reschedule. I would like to gauge interest so please respond in the next few days if anyone would like to come along. Either WhatsApp 07876542053 or email aliwilliams2011@hotmail.co.uk.

I’m afraid this plan may get disrupted by rail strikes planned for 1 and 5 October: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/sep/16/rail-strikes-october-conservative-conference-train-operators-walkout

Edale -Sheffield Walk 1 October CANCELLED DUE TO TRAIN STRIKE

Thank you to all those who replied showing interest. Thank you JB for posting re scheduled train strikes. I have checked websites and these will affect the proposed early Saturday train.
As one of the objectives of the walking focus group was to be more sustainable in walking meets, I feel that using cars to ferry people around does not really meet this criteria. Therefore this meet will be offered at another time.
However, I will arrange a walk for that day , with sustainability in mind!! Probably not as long but around
12-15 miles. I will post in a few days.
Remember this is also the date for the CLIMBERS/WALKERS SOCIAL, so a good idea not to be too trashed should you want to go out and be sociable!
Thanks Ali
