Tuesday 10m Walking Group - next 2 walks
| 04 Aug | Walk leader Graham Hazlehurst. Meet at the old village water pump in the centre of Hartington Village. W3W active.cheek.laminated. Postcode SK17 0AL. In view of the limited parking in the village the walk will start at 10AM. To minimise parking issues, it is suggested that we share lifts. 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 The Olde Cheshire Cheese in Longnor. The walk is approximately 11 miles with 700 feet of ascent. It follows well-marked tracks across fairly open countryside and fields for most of the way, with some short minor road sections. A mix of gates, stiles and walls with steps will be encountered. SK128604 |

Thursday U3A 6-milers - next 2 walks
| 23 July | Leader: Ginette Hsu. The walk will start from the Curzon Arms, 44 Maplewell Rd, Woodhouse Eaves, LE12 8QZ What3Words: harsh.comply.firming. I have made a provisional booking for lunch at 1pm. The pub will be open at 10am and those of you staying for lunch can pre-order. The landlord has kindly agreed for us to use their car park- please park at the top end of the car park where there is ample parking space. The walk will proceed down the street to the village centre towards the Old Bulls Head, from there we shall go on Brook Road to enter the Outwoods. We shall then circum-navigate those woods, finally exiting onto Dean's Lane. There is then a steady gentle incline to Beacon Hill. From the top of Beacon Hill, we shall proceed downhill to pick up the Broombriggs Farm and Windmill Hill trail which will lead us back to the Curzon Arms. The walk is just about 6 miles and fairly level terrain apart from the gentle climb to Beacon Hill. There is just over half a mile of street walking and otherwise the paths are well established. We shall have to cross the busy Beacon Road a couple of times. We just now need to hope for better walking weather on that day. As long as it's not too hot, we should hopefully manage the walk- a large part of it being in the shady woods. As usual, keep an eye on your emails nearer the time in case I need to change my plan due to the weather. SK |
