Meet Report Four Edges Walk
An enthusiastic group completed this 10.5 mile circular walk – following the round of Birchens, White, Curbar/Froggatt and Baslow Edges. Sunny skies, pleasant breeze and wonderful views throughout. Highlights included the sighting of an adder, a small herd of deer and bluebell woods. It was lovely to catch up with Rachel (ex CMC member, visiting the area for the weekend.). Nostalgia also played a part in the day, learning that Froggatt was where Charlotte first met an upside down Steve over thirty years ago.! ( Not my story to tell!) Great company everyone- thank you.! Keep an eye out for the next summer walk posting!

6. Further payment for the meal is to be paid in cash, as this has come out of chefs’ pockets. So bring some change and notes. Plenty of advance notice here!Murmurings of road bike routes being organised.
Any mountain bikers coming and offering to lead a route?
Walks aplenty in the area.Any Q’s please contact direct to me please.
Thanks AliBulls Head from 6.30 for a pre curry drink if interested. Booked in to Tandoori for 7pm to eat.
12 people for fixed menu – should sit together??
6 people choosing own food. Sure we can work this out. 18 total.
See you tomorrow
AliFurther to last menu clarification, Chris has contacted me to say all Christmas puddings are vegan too!
Absolutely no problem if you want to change a choice already submitted.
Please make your choices by the end of this weekend if not already made. Very important chefs need to source, cost, purchase ingredients and prepare for a three course meal for 35. No mean task!Thanks Ali
Reminder re curry night Sat 1 October. 6.45 Ranmoor Tandoori, Sheffield.
Let me know if you would like to come. Booking on Friday.
Thanks AliEdale -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 AliCANCELLATION SPIRE TOUR
Unfortunately the cycle ride and tour are cancelled.
St Mary’s have just announced that the Civic Ceremony for the Queen is being held at 2.30pm with the bells sounding from 1 pm. Obviously this clashes with our scheduled tour.
I may rebook for sometime in the Spring. This will have to be a whole new booking with a new list of people as I doubt all of us will be around to go.
Have a good weekend anyway.
Ali
