Tuesday 10m Walking Group - next 2 walks

06 Oct The proposal for the 6th October walk has been chosen as Chee Dale was one of Peter Mill's favourite walks. As well as 10+ Group members anyone who only wants to walk in the morning (or afternoon) are very welcome.
 
Walk leader Geoff Dodsworth.   10.30am start.
Parking is available at Peak District National Park Miller's Dale Car Park. The parking cost is £6.60 all day, payment with a debit or credit card. There is a cafe and toilets adjacent to the car park, access to the toilet is only by debit or credit card and costs 50 pence per visit.

Postcode SK17 8SN.
The walk is a figure of eight. The morning walk is 5.5 miles with 875ft of ascent and includes walking through Chee Dale over the stepping stones. The afternoon is 4 miles with 728ft of ascent along the Limestone Way and returning via Wormhill.
Given the location, car sharing is recommended. If anyone needs a lift, or has space in their car, please let me know and I will try to pair people up. Lunch will be at Anglers Rest, Millers Dale. The pub car park may only be used by people parked in the bar, hence cannot be used for the walk.   SK138733
