Overview

Please contact the leader to join the walk, this helps the leader and provides your contact details in case of late change. If then you are unable to attend, please cancel with leader (phone or text) so they are not waiting for you. Thank you. 

Walking in the hidden but open countryside tucked away between Peak Forest and Winnats Pass including a section of the Limestone Way, with splendid distant views over Derbyshire countryside - weather permitting. - There are also interesting historical lead mine workings scattered around so we stick to the footpaths.
