Overview

Join Marie, Bob and Tony for a walk in the Derbyshire countryside, with a couple of small hills, good views, lots of lambs, wildflowers and other spring growth.

The group does not stop at cafes or pubs for lunch, and you should bring enough food and drinks with you to last the whole walk. We usually stop for a coffee break an hour or so into the walk, and for packed lunch around 1230-1300, although weather and suitable locations may affect both timings.

Risk assessment:  The walk leader has assessed this walk for the following risks, but during the walk others may become evident.  You will come across stiles, gates and other path furniture;  a small stream crossing on stones should only be a problem if after heavy rain.
