Thirteen of us set off on a sunny Valentines day morning from Eyam
to climb up Sir William Hill and descend to Bretton Clough for coffee and
salted caramel cake on the conveniently placed log. We then climbed in the
sheltered, sunny clough to Abney, and followed the tranquil route through
wooded Abney clough to have lunch at the junction of paths and river at Stoke
Ford, the photo shows the Peak District and Northern counties Footpath
Preservation Society sign, erected in 1939. The society was founded in 1894 and
has it's roots in the Manchester Association for the preservation of Ancient
Public Footpaths from 1826.
We then climbed round Eyam moor crossing a small stream where Alex
slipped landing chest down in the mud, he wasn't even reading his Kindle. Light
snow flurries followed us over Eyam Moor before the sun returned for our
descent past Ladywash mine and the Youth Hostel to Eyam.
