Five of us left Bakewell Station soon after 11:00am and were soon climbing steeply through Manners Wood and across Calton Pastures. A descent to the old mill in Chatsworth Park followed before the leader made a navigational error (his attention distracted by much conversation). This was corrected and we resumed our proper course on the correct bank of the Derwent and made our way to Rowsley. A pleasant amble along a bridleway back to Bakewell Station rounded off the walk. 9,1 miles – it would have been the regulation 8 except for the transgression towards Beeley, but then I guess it wouldn’t have been one of my walks would it!
