10 of us and 2 dogs congregated on Sir William Hill Road in sunshine but with a chill wind. We followed footpaths up to the trig, along the ridge and down to Gotherage plantation. Here we took an early coffee stop to allow 1 additional walker to catch up, bravely cutting down open moorland at speed.
We wended our way down through Bretton Clough, then up again to Abney and on to Offerton Moor, where we found another sunny but windy spot for lunch.
Carrying on to the top of the moor we had fabulous views of the Hope Valley , Ladybower reservoir, Bamford, Stanage and Millstone.
Another descent took us down through Callow wood to Mount Pleasant Farm then Highlow Brook.
The only way was up after this, passing Hog Hall to join a path taking us back up the eastern end of Eyam moor to the start.
Thank you all for a very enjoyable and sociable outing. Kathy
