12th: Two Goyt Valley walks
There were 2 walks to choose from: Vince’s Goyt Valley low level walk which attracted 18 and Pete’s higher level walk which took in Windgather Rocks, Cats Tor and Shining Tor, which 7 people did.
It
was rather grey and breezy to start with, but brighter with broken
cloud and sunshine as the day progressed. The valley walk was very
gentle, but with good views of the reservoir and heather clad hills.
Lunch was taken at the Derbyshire Bridge to the restful babble of the
Goyt, followed by a leisurely stroll down the road to the ice cream van
and on to the finish and an early drink at The Shady Oak, where Pete’s
group joined us. We were please to welcome three completely new walkers,
Margo and Louise who had attended Sue T’s recent talk about the group
and Nick, who had found us via the website. Our thanks to Vince and Pete
for leading these enjoyable walks.
