Update – I have now walked my proposed route, as I feared it is more than 8 miles. Depending on diversions to points of interest I reckon about 9 miles with 1000 foot of ascent. There is one notable bog in the middle of an area of narrow path but half of the walking is on tracks. Apologies to those who like a shorter walk. Tea and cakes will be available in Chesterfield to help with recovery.
URGENT CLIMBING TODAY? Don’t go to Bamford Edge, the access is closed off. Dick, Kathy and John are going to Stanage Plantation instead. Please will someone message the telephone group as I have no idea how that works.
