Please contact the leader to join the walk, this helps the leader and provides your contact details in case of late change. If then you are unable to attend, please cancel with leader (phone or text) so they are not waiting for you. Thank you. 

From Ashford we make our way over fields to Monsal Head, down into Monsal Dale, then crossing the A6 to Deep Dale, returning via Sheldon to Ashford. The walk includes climbs and a number of stiles.
