Full description: 

A walk to celebrate the longest day of the year at the best stone circle in the Peaks. This will be an evening walk from Monyash, down through the top end of Lathkill Dale, then up and out near Cales Dale where we’ll make our way over the fields to Arbor Low stone circle and stop for a picnic tea. After our picnic and wander (maybe a ritual sacrifice or something) we’ll head the easy way back into Monyash and probably go to a pub.

Bring food for a picnic and a £1 coin – the stone circle is looked after by English Heritage on the grounds that visitors pay a small contribution to the landowner.

Note: this is likely to become a joint walk between all walking groups in Sheffield, so it’ll probably be quite a large group!

Public transport or car sharing options: 

No public transport links to this one, please offer lifts on Meetup when booking opens. There’s plenty of parking in Monyash at ///drum.belief.clearly
