14th: Youlgreave walk
Sixteen of us gathered at the car park above Youlgeave (Youlgrave)
for a circular led by Nigel. Starting in a very windy, cold but sunny
morning we went the wrong way up the limestone way to the head of
Lathkill Dale, downhill with the river, normally underground, today it
was in full flow. Visiting old mineshafts we arrived in Over Haddon for n
excellent choice of good ales. Back to the walk and down below
Youlgreave following the river past the swimming pool and back up to the
cars. about 10 miles, The weather getting warmer as the wind dropped,
and with a final walk uphill to the end some overheating was inevitable.
