Southport Ramblers welcome all age groups from 8 to 80+ for fortnightly worry-free walking (travelling by coach) with like-minded people throughout the year.
This village in the centre of the Peak District is well situated for walking into the grounds of Chatsworth House, whilst longer walks could take you along the river, or up onto the moors. Wherever you go today there are plenty of refreshments to be had back in Baslow. This weekend is Children in Need Walks so you are welcome to join us at Baslow. We will be parking the coach at the Nether End Coach/Car Park, (DE45 1SR), and would expect to be there around 10.45 - 11.00am. With all walks finished by 5.00pm.
There will be three walks available, with detals circulated on the coach. They will range from easy to strenuous depending on the walk selected.
