From this location the group will head around and below the dam wall to along the eastern edge of Upper Derwent Reservoir, where we will pick up the track taking us to Lost Lad and Back Tor, at this point we will pick up the first of the ‘edges’ Derwent and head south passing many interestingly names rock & stone formations. We will continue along heading south & before we reach Hurking Stones we will head east to cross the A57 and pick up or second edge ‘Stanage Edge’ heading along past High Neb (we can time depending detour towards Stanedge Pole if any of the group members haven’t been) then onto Upper Burbage Bridge, from here we will hit our third and fourth edges ‘Upper Burbage & Lower Burbage’ which we will follow towards the finish point which is Fox House Pub.

Meet at 11.00am at the walk start. Catch the 10.10am tram from the Cathedral to Middlewood, then connect onto the SL1A bus to Wharncliffe Side. Get off at Wharncliffe Arms and follow signs to Glen Howe Park.

From Glen Howe Park we make our way through woods and fields to Bradfield, where we stop for a drink at The Old Horns Pub. Hopefully the sun will be out and we can sit outside. We then circle back round to Wharncliffe Side and back to Glen Howe Park.

Following previous shared adventures with our jolly chums in the Manchester and District (MAD) walker, we will join forces again for a delightful hike in the countryside between our Noble Cities. This will be a moderate circular walk around New Mills, going up both Chinley Churn, descending to Hayfield and then up Lantern Pike before heading into New Mills along the Sett Valley Trail. There will be a pub stop at the end to raise a glass to new and reacquainted friends.

This walk was postponed due to severe flooding around Whaley Bridge
