A bit farther afield today for a Peak District adventure. Starting at the car park in Milldale in Staffordshire we will be following the River Dove down to the stepping stones. This is a very well walked trail and should be obstacle free but car should be taken where the path gets rocky as it can be slippery. At the stepping stones there is a choice to either retrace your footsteps back to Milldale or to climb Thorpe Cloud for superb views before returning to the car park. Due to the distance we will be starting at 11.00. Googlemaps calculates 1 hour 20 minutes to Milldale but there is always the possibility of delays in everyone’s favourite bottleneck, Ashbourne so allow plenty of time.
This will be a truly spectacular walk.
