SUNSHINE!!! With a good number of members away climbing in Greece a sunny day was ordered to entice others out. 12 of us (zero dogs) duly convened at Linacre Reservoir for a walk which the advertised leader (Vanda) had delegated to her new husband🤣🤣.
Setting off downhill, a plus, we meandered alongside the reservoirs, with an informative mini lecture included for free. After branching off through the woods we came through an area clearly ripe for developing a new golf course, various design solutions debated.
After crossing via a mini stone bridge the only significant rise took us to a coffee stop, adjacent to a mini climbing wall, unused.
By now, hardly anybody knew where we were in an unexplored piece of Derbyshire but we were on the designated route and eventually we emerged by Wigly Primary School. More downhill took us to our lunch spot, convenient felled trees providing effective seating whilst hiding from the landowner. Post lunch we visited Brampton Church, an interesting interior and a very unusual clock face which was the subject of a quiz. The answer and explanation was given by John M.
Back via the dam wall to the cars, 6.00 miles as advertised and done by 2pm.
Cheers
Paul.Despite the rain over the last couple of days, weather looking good for tomorrow’s meet. Popular End Car park at 10am, Black Hawk area Inc Castle Chimney to start.
See you there
Paul and Vanda.If anybody wants a lift to tomorrow’s walk, get in touch. Room for 2/3 leaving at 10am.
Vanda and Paul 2665767Well it’s not Norwich City fans, wrong colour, they’re green and yellow. Leeds are blue and yellow on white but too neat for a Leeds fan.
Re parking: there is also a small campsite below Hen Cloud. If you camp Saturday night you can leave your car on site Sunday. Also has the bonus of climbing Saturday if you want.
We shan’t be there…on honeymoon!
Paul/VandaUPDATE. 8.45.
NOT actually raining in Sheffield at the moment so Vanda and I will be leaving for the meet at Birchen Edge in half an hour.
If you want to contact us ring 07582 634280
Paul and Vanda.Vanda and I expect to be there assuming her legs are still working after circumnavigating the Isle of Wight.
As its a few weeks since I first posted this, thought I’d just put up a reminder, Thurs 16th May at Calver Crossroads for a gentlish 6 miles with optional extras.
Cheers
PaulAt a quick look 9 seater for a weekend from £420 plus fuel and limited luggage space, no room for 5 tents etc. Not viable for me plus means everybody has to go to the same places throughout the weekend. As far as I’m concerned, those days are gone..
Paul.I’ve got Jaycee stopping Friday night before skiing in Manchester Saturday. We may get there pm after Cresswell Crags am.
Have you mentioned dogs? You’ll be in trouble if not!! Very enjoyable and sociable day, if a little chilly at times. Thanks for organising it.
Cheers
Paul and Vanda.Vanda and I expect to be there on Sun 14.
I expect most people have seen the signs, but be aware that the 14th is Sheffield Marathon day and the many road closures around Ringinglow etc have caused chaos in the past for those heading out to the Peak.
We also hope to be at the Stanage meet in May.
Cheers
Paul and Vanda.
