Meet at car park by the sports field in Youlgreave. Grid Ref 21 4 64 5. Parking is free but a £3 donation is requested by the parish council. I suggest we meet at 10 am which would give us ample time for a leisurely pace and stops at places of interest.
route Youlgreave, Conksbury Bridge, lathkill Dale return by Limestone way past Calling low to Youlgreave. distance is 7 .5 miles. There is an option to extend this to 11 miles by following the dale to Monyash and joining the original route by One Ash Grange Farm. WE can make this decision on the day depending on how people feel
This is a walk through a wooded Limestone Gorge and over the plateau with extensive views. we will also pass interesting mining relics related to attempts to conceal the location of a mineshaft.5 of us including new members Kim and Mark enjoyed a steady and relaxed day . walking up the dale revealed considerable evidence of recent flooding but the path still easily passable. We had a good look at Mandale mine. By group decision we opted to do the longer 11 mile version of this walk. views from the plateau were as good as ever and the pleasant nature of Lathkill dale and Bradford dale.
A good day was finished with a brew in the local pub
