We are the Chase & District Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Hello Everyone
We're Derbyshire bound this Sunday with a walk around lovely Youlgreave. Barry & Pam's route takes us to Over Haddon then follows the River Lathkill up the Dale towards Monyash before crossing back to pick up the Limestone Way for the return route to Youlgreave. Undulating terrain on quiet lanes, field footpaths, riverside trails, with one good climb using limestone steps and another through fields.
