Meet Ashopton Viaduct at 9.15 (GR195864)
Plan to go up Whinstone Lee, along to Back Tor, down to Fairholme (loos and cafe if required), up to Lockerbrook and back along thr ridge to Crookhill Farm. About 10ish miles.
Don’t contact me – just be there if you fancy a stroll in the autumn sunshine with a gentle breeze.
Early start due to parking issuesAfter a chaotic 30mins due to parking problems, 10 of us set of at rocket pace led by Rosie (who also had the role of Chief Navigating Occifer) towards Whinstone Lee. Having got our breath back we headed onwards along Derwent Edge. After Cakes, Hugh caught up with us and JB headed for home. After a coffee and snack break at Back Tor we wandered downhill towards Fairholme. Lunch was taken on the meadow below the dam wall basking the sunshine. At Fairholme we ran into Andy who was out for a bike ride. Having flogged up to Lockerbrook we enjoyed a pleasant walk along Hagg Side and down to the start via Crookhill Farm. Luckily we enjoyed fabulous sharp views throughout the walk. 5 of us met up at The Anglers Rest in Bamford for tea and cake or beer and crisps.
Thanks for a great day out!!
