Walk Report
21 of us set out from Curbar Gap shortly to be joined
by Marian & Kathy who had walked in from the Froggatt end of the track to join as far as the Froggatt climbing area.
Everyone was suitably wrapped up warm to
cope with the wind chill at approx-5C.
A good frozen surface, due to -3/4C overnight,
made firm going albeit one of our members
did slip over and bruised her chin.
Would suggest in future members consider taking
micro crampons in case of icy conditions.
Coffee break at Yorkshire Bridge – see photos on
WhatsApp walking.
We then followed the Derwent river path which wasn’t half as muddy as I had expected due to recent heavy rain although still quite slippery in places.
Lunch taken at the back of Baslow church on the seats
facing the river. See also pics.
From here it was the long ascent to Baslow Edge
via Baslow village and then along the Edge
back to the cars. Great views along the way due
to the clear weather – see also pics.
7 miles in distance – 867ft of ascent.
Many thanks to all who came and for making a
very enjoyable winter’s walk.
