After an auspicious start to the weather on Sunday morning, twenty
intrepid walkers assembled at Grindleford station to enjoy what turned
out to be promising weather
The route took us through woodland, then by a "babbling brook" onto
Burbage Edge. From there we ascended Higger Tor via Carl Walk, (site
of a bronze age fort.) It was at this point that Denise fell over and
landed "flat on her face".
and Denise quickly bubbled into life again, casually smiling and
infecting everyone around with her infectious laughter.
Another mile or so took us onto Stanage Edge where we sheltered out of the wind for
our lunch stop. Another stretch along the edge followed before an easy
descent to Hathersage was made. Little John's grave (of Robin Hood
fame) in Hathersage Church made an interesting diversion.
The final leg was to take the train back to Grindleford station where
we enjoyed tea and cakes in the station café.
regards,
Chris
